3 Erwin: Jawohl!
4 Erwin: {walking off to get the prisoners} I did not know he was interested in logic paradoxes.

My original script for this had panel 4 as follows:
Erwin: He is nasty.While putting the photos together I realised how lame this was and tried to come up with something better. My first alternative was:
Haken: You noticed?
Erwin: I did not know he was interested in logic paradoxes.And then after making the strip like that I realised Haken's first sentence is completely redundant. Don't tell the audience something they already know. So I removed it, tightening the dialogue and making it better.
Haken: He is a brain in a jar. What else is he going to do? Play football?
Hitler's Brain is making a reference to the famous prisoner paradox, in which a prisoner argues that he cannot be executed because of various logical arguments that are better examined in the Wikipedia article than here.
The important thing is that when the prisoners work out the logic puzzle and claim their freedom, you completely ignore it and execute them anyway.
False hope is a wonderful thing.
