For those of you who don't know where all your base are belong to us came from, it's from an old game, Zero Wing, that contains some of the worst Japanese-English translations ever. Here you can see the part where that one happens, and many other bad translations.

Spoiler :
In AD 2010
War was beginning
*explosion*
Captain: What happen?
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: We get signal.
Captain: What!
Operator: Main screen turn on.
Captain: It's you!!
CATS: How are you gentlemen!!
CATS: All your base are belong to us.
CATS: You are on the way to destruction.
Captain: What you say!!
CATS: You have no chance to survive make you time.
CATS: Ha ha ha ha....
Captain: Take off every 'Zig'!!
Captain: You know what you doing.
Captain: Move 'Zig'.
Captain: For great Justice.

And no, the following is not proper German. It's as bad as the translation it's based on.

The “All Your Base” Speech in Full (With Annotations)

Here, Kennedy is referring to the start of the Cold War:

--------------------
In A.D. 1947
Krieg war anfangend.

In A.D. 1947
War was beginning.
--------------------

What started the war, he ponders:

--------------------
Was macht?

What happen ?
--------------------

His answer? The invention of the atomic bomb.

--------------------
Jemand stellte auf uns die Bombe.

Someone set up us the bomb.
--------------------

Kennedy now taking the audience back to his historic last-minute diplomacy with then Russian Premier Georg Harrison:

--------------------
Wir erhalten Signal.
Was !
Hauptschirm schalte ein.

We get signal.
What !
Main screen turn on.
--------------------

Kennedy’s famous opening words to the Soviet Premier:

--------------------
Es ist Sie !!

It's you !!
--------------------

Harrison's pitiful attempt to evade the key issues is summed up here:

--------------------
Wie sind Sie Sanftmänner !!

How are you gentlemen !!
--------------------

The heart of the speech, and the nub of the peace talks. Kennedy jumps straight in and announces the seizure of the Cuban bases to the as yet unknowing Soviets:

--------------------
Ganze Ihre Stützpunkt sind gehören uns.

All your base are belong to us.
--------------------

Harrison’s reaction is a typical knee-jerk display of Soviet bravado:

--------------------
Sie sind auf der Weg zu Zerstörung.

You are on the way to destruction.
--------------------

Kennedy pretends not to have understood: an interesting gambit.

--------------------
Was du sagen!!

What you say !!
--------------------

Harrison now clearly overcompensating for his weak tactical position. It's plain to see that Kennedy's got him on the ropes.

--------------------
Sie haben keine Chance zu überleben bilden Ihre Zeit.

You have no chance to survive make your time.
--------------------

Notice how Kennedy makes light of Harrison’s idle threats. This is the finishing blow. And, yes, that's how they laugh in Japan. I mean, Russia.

--------------------
Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke ....

Ha Ha Ha Ha ....
--------------------

Ending on a triumphant note, Kennedy puts past victories behind him and returns to the present. "Take off every Zig." He implores the assembled Berliners, "For Great Justice".

--------------------
Kapitän !!
Nehmen ab jedes ' Zig ' !!
Wissen sie, was sie machen.
Verschieben sie ' Zig '.
Für große Justiz.

Captain !!
Take off every 'Zig'!!
You know what you doing.
Move 'Zig'.
For great justice.
--------------------

He retires to a standing ovation.

Please note that the second line is "Somebody set up us the bomb", not "Somebody set us up the bomb". While the second is remotely close to grammatically correct, having the verb before the noun just adds to the effect.
