Wwii Jokes

There was a fundraising event being held in the local RSA by the local Women's Auxiliary, and the organisers had arranged for Ireland's most decorated WWII pilot to speak to the assembled ladies.

He started telling the story of a mission over France and how they were being strafed by German fire.

" I looked out in front of me" he said " and there was three fokkers in front, and then I looked behind me, and there was three fokkers behind me, and then I looked above me, and there was two fokkers above, and then I looked below me, and there was four fokkers below"

Just then the organiser, thinking that the ladies might misunderstand, and assume the ex-pilot was swearing jumped up and said "For all those who don't know, the Fokker was a plane used by the Germans during the war"

and the Irish pilot said "Yeah, but these Fokkers were Messerschmidts"

Editor's Note: When I posted the WWII Jokes, I asked if anyone had any jokes that the German side might have said against the allies, just to balance things out. Here's a recent response:

I'm afraid I can't help you with German jokes against the allies, but I have something better. This was a common joke that circulated during WW2 among German Officers about the Italians, due to their poor performance in the African theatre. My father was kind enough to tell me this one. Translated it goes something like this:

(News broadcast): "This morning an Italian division encountered an enemy bicycle in Tripoli. There was an immediate engagement, and the Italians managed to capture the rear wheel and the seat. There is still heavy fighting over the steering column and the front wheel, but the situation looks rather bleak for the Italians. More on this later."
