Käpt'n Korky Posted July 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Allegedly from the U-Boot commander Oskar Kusch (contemporary 1940's joke): What do the german people and a tapeworm have in common? Spoiler Both are surrounded by brown masses and in constant danger of being hauled off/out - In german the same word is used for hauling something out and hauling someone off. Yes, he got sentenced to death (and one year in prison!) for this and other anti-Nazi sentiments shown as commander of U-154. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Käpt'n Korky Posted September 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Less a joke but funny german soldiers songs from WW2: (1) Wir sind vom Idiotenklub und laden herzlich ein. Bei uns ist jeder gern gesehn, nur blöde muß er sein. Bei uns geht die Parole um, seid doof bis in den Tod! Und wer am allerdoofsten ist, wird Oberidiot. We are from the club of idiots and offer heartfelt invitations. Everyone can join us, you just have to be stupid. Within our rank is the parole, be stupid even in death! And who's the most stupid becomes head of all idiots. (2) Ich wollte mal und konnte nicht und hatt ihn in der Hand. Und bin dann voll Verzweiflung in der Stube rumgerannt. Und wollt so gern und könnt doch nicht, das Loch war viel zu klein: Es paßte nicht der Kragenknopf ins Oberhemd hinein. Once I had a urge, but it wasn't possible, so I held it in my hand. And ran in desperation through the parlour. The urge was great, but it was impossible, the hole was much too small: The collar stud didn't fit into the shirt.

Käpt'n Korky Posted July 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Do you know this feeling when you watch some classic stuff and realise it fits perfectly somewhere and you can't imagine why you didn't put it there the whole time in the first place? Whatever: Watch this and be amused, but you have to wait for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Käpt'n Korky Posted November 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 Courtesy of Robert Dorsay (depicted), who was executed for it. In German it was probably gras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
