"WWII: Germans make fun of Italians" joke
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."
