"Sieh an", meint Hitler, "sogar unter dem katholischen Klerus gibt es volksbewußte Deutsche!"

Dann blättert er weiter und ließt auf der Rückseite des Blattes:

4.) Gott erhalte unseren Führer der SA Ernst Röhm.
Und darunter in roter Tinte: Am 30.06.1934 bereits erhalten! @{

In Jerusalem, a female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day, everyday, for a long, long time.
So she went to check it out. She went to the Wailing Wall and there he was! She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, she approached him for an interview.

"I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. Sir, how long have you been coming to the Wall and praying?"

"For about 60 years."

"60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"

"I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims. I pray for all the hatred to stop and I pray for all our children to grow up in safety and friendship."

"How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"

"Like I'm talking to a f*cking wall."

Okay guys, here's Nordwest's joke for non-German speakers. The pun doesn't work so well in English, but I'll do my best:

In the summer of 1934 Hitler, Göring and Göbbels go for a walk. On a park bench they find a catholic priest's breviary. Hiteler opens the book and reads the follwoing entries on the flyleaf:

1.) God take care of our Führer Adolf Hitler.
2.) God take care of Ministerpräsident Herman Göring.
3.) God take care of Minister Joseph Göbbels.

"Look", says Hitler, "even in the catholic clergy there are 'nationally aware' Germans!"

Then our Fûhrer flicks a bit further through and finds this entry:

4.) God take care of the leader of the SA Ernst Röhm.
Beneath this in red ink is written: Taken care of on 30.06.1934!

In German erhalten has many meanings, including protect, preserve (as in the entries here) etc as well as receive. In UK slang at least take care of also has a meaning of to kill.

This old guy, wants to help save the fatherland and enlists in the armed forces.
It's towards the end of the war and everyting is in short supply.
They did not have a rifle for him, so he practiced with a broomstick.
Suddenly the Russians advanced and they were sent to the front.
I need a rifle, complained the old man.
His Sergeant says, Nah you don.t, just point your stick at the enemy. say out loud: rifle rifle, bang bang, and everything will be fine.
So he does, he points the stick, yells rifle rifle bang bang, and the enemies drop like flies.
Except for one big brute Russian. He just keeps coming and coming, no matter how many times the old man yells Rifle rifle, bang bang.
The big guy runs right into him knocks him to the ground, and when is walking over him, the old man heard him say:
Rumble rumble, Panzer panzer.

hi, one I got from a war movie called "The Last drop" about Allies trying to prevent Dutch treasure from being Taken to the Reich in an SS evacuation during "Market Garden". In it, 2 Allies paratroopers dress up as Waffen SS, and when they see SS Major Kessler,in charge of the treasure operation, they scream "Heil Hitler!" with a lamish Hitler salute and not done together properly. Kessler, who falls for the trick however, still says to as subordinate and points out about the 2 "That's why we're losing the war." LOL :D
