Right; "wolkenkuckucksheim" is "cloud cuckoo-land."

Oftentimes used to describe the errie, farcial, dream-like, unreal world-view of the Germans in that bunker in Berlin in late April 1945 as the Soviets were just a couple of blocks away.

I don't know German, but just about every history book about the fall of Berlin uses that wonderful word.

Oh, and that's the Err America blog, not the radio broadcast, linked above.

Thanks. I had to look it up.

And I'll look at the blog later, after I eat. ;-)
