Flüsterwitze

October 31, 2024 By: Half Empty Category: Uncategorized

One thing I’ll bet the TFG staff never suspected they’d have to deal with in their campaign was having a rally warm-up comedian tell a string of racist jokes that would be all anyone ever talked about in the media coverage that ensued. A whole string of speakers – including Bronzer Boy himself – followed, but no one got the column inches like ol’ Tom Whatzizname got.

So, I thought, turnabout is fair play. Why not tell some Nazi jokes? Not just any ones will do, though. They should be Flüsterwitze, or “whisper jokes,” the jokes that Germans would tell each other during the 3rd Reich that sometimes got them in hot “wasser” with the local SS.

Some of them aren’t very funny by our standards, but then, you could say that about Tom Whatzizname’s jokes.

At a press meeting, Josef Goebbels tells an American journalist: “If Roosevelt had something like the SS, there wouldn’t be any gangsters left in the US!” The journalist answers: “Of course not. They would all be squad leaders by now.”

What’s the difference between Christianity and National Socialism? With Christianity one man died for all of us, but in National Socialism all of us are expected to die for one.

Hitler is visiting an insane asylum. The patients lined up by their beds greet him with “Heil Hitler!” One man stands aside and does not greet him at all. Hitler gets angry and asks him why. He answers: “I’m not crazy, I am the ward’s orderly.”

An Essener and a Berliner talk about the damage done by allied bombing campaigns. Says the guy from Berlin: The last bombing run on the capital was so serious, the window panes kept falling out until five hours after the raid. The guy from Essen replies: That’s nothing! After the last bombing run, pictures of the Führer kept flying out of the windows for fourteen days!

Soldiers of the Volkssturm are now being sent to the front in pairs. One throws a stone, and the other one shouts “boom!”

When a silver aeroplane flies over, it’s American. When there’s a green plane, it’s British. When there are no aircraft, that’s the Luftwaffe.

When a clock goes forward it goes ‘tic-tac’ – but when Rommel goes backwards, it’s tactic.

On the Wehrmacht sniper training range, the lieutenant says to a fellow soldier: “That guy over there is pretty good”.

“Yes indeed, but I have a feeling that we should better check his personal background”.

“Why,” asks the lieutenant.

“After every shot he carefully removes his fingerprints from the rifle”.

A man walks into the records office and asks to change his name.

The clerk is not keen on helping but asks the man’s name and the man replies “My name is Adolf Stinkfoot.”

The clerk is sympathetic and decides to allow the man to change his unfortunate name. “What do you want to change it to?” asks the clerk, the man replies “Maurice Stinkfoot.”

Propaganda guy asks a youth:
– Who is your father?
– Fuhrer Adolf Hitler!
– Who is your mother?
– Great Germany!
– What is your dream?
– To become an orphan!

Herr Sergeant, we have food only for half our unit!
All right, we shall eat after the attack.

Be social and share!

    My personal favorite was less a joke than a comment. After 1933, every couple getting married received a copy of Mein Kampf. A German politician said “It was the most widely unread book in Germany”.

    The gift book was a way for the government to funnel money to Hitler. Sorta like the way that Oklahoma’s Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters posted requirements for buying a bible for every school room, which just happen to be fulfilled only by the Trump Bible.
