The text in CR's posting is from Tucho. But it is from 1919.
Just after the lost war. And at that time Tucho was a writer mercenary for the right side. He has also written antisemitic and anti Polish pieces for money in that time. When you know what happend that time you can see his intentiones. That piece is propaganda. He is whining about the ineffectiveness of the satire that should have been used against the "arch emeny" France and UK. It's a part of the so called "Dolchstoßlegende", blaming the people at home for the lost war. They have stabbed the Soldiers a dagger in the back. So the satirists have not worked properly and so the German war government had not so good propaganda as the enemy to motivate the own people.

But in one point Tucho is right, Satire may say all. Hurray Danmark.
