Historical Joke Thread

Racist or not, he's one of the most quotable people in living memory.
 
Now, I know there's plenty of debate over how racist Churchill was (that he was racist is hardly in question)

Do you mean racist like Roosevelt who ran a country where they hung signs in windows of resturants saying "No blacks, Mexicans or dogs?"

Hitler has been in Hell for 60 years. As he behaved well, Satan decided to grant him one day to visit Earth as a reward.
Hitler comes back crying. "I don't want to go there again! I want to stay here, it's to horrible there! Now it's the German who do business, and the Jews who make war!".

It worked better some years ago...
 
Year 1945. A lesson in German school:
- Hans, conjugate the verb "to run".

This joke I just read today in the newspaper:
Originally by Billy Wilder about 1930 in Berlin:

On a sunny day a visitor of Zürich comes to a psychiatrist and sais he doesn´t know how he could escape his sadness. He wopuld be so sad although there was no reason.
The doc sais to him: "Well, it is such a beautiful day. The sun shines, the lake looks beautiful and you can see snowy tops of the mountains in the distance. Go for a walk and then you´ll see how your sadness disappears!"
The man nicks sadly.
His first attempt to make him feel better was invain. So the doc tries it twice:
"You can go into a good restaurant here. The Kronenhalle for example is one of the best. Enjoy the fabulous Zürich cuisine!"
The man nicks again, sighing melancholigal.
"You can also go over the Bahnhofsstraße and see the luxuries in the shops. Visit a Café and enjoy the delicious chocolate dreams made there."
The man nicks again, without any sign of being not sad any more.
"But wait. I just remember the Circus at the Limmat. There is now the famous Clown Grock. There you have to go to.! That will make you happy! Grock managed to get anyone to lough who went into his show! Nobody can resist that. You´ll see you´ll be happy at once!"
The man looks to the doc even more sadly and says: "But I am Grock!"

The Italian war flag of ww2 was a white cross on white ground.

The three thinnest books of the world: Good eating in England, American Cultural History and the book of the Italian war heroes.

Nixon and Breshnev are frozen. After 20 years they are revitalised. Both demand a newspaper at once to get to know wha happened. Breshnew is the first to read. He suddenly loughs loudly. Nixon does not know why and reads himself: The People´s own car factory of Detroit say they accomplished their plan three month before the end. America is communistic. But then he reads further and suddenly loughs even louder. This time Breshnew doesn´t know why and he has to read the newspaper again: Heavy shootings at the German- Chinese border at Tilsit. Dawn of a new world war? Germany is reunited but also the Soviets are under Chinese control.

The last joke has to be explained in so far as the Chinese were in Russian eyes at least in that time also a huge threat.

P.S.: Stefan the orders should be Ritterkreuz in ww2 and Pour le mérite in ww1 ;) :p.

And the German book of Humor, French book of courage etc.

"How dare the Maoris be on our land when we got here" Joke about british colonists arrival in New Zealand.
 
This is an old one:

Stalin, Hitler and Churchill met before the war. Three men found a lot to talk about, one of the topics was the differences between their governments. A passer-by suggested, that they should test which one is the best. Three men agreed and the passer-by said, that the best way is to try to make a cat eat mustard.

First was Churchill. Sir Winston spend an unsuccessful hour asking the cat nicely to eat it. There was no result even when he tried to tell the cat, that is was the best thing to do. Cat looked like it would rather play.

Second was Hitler. Adolf was furious and shouted commands to the poor cat, even threatened it's life. Cat looked scared but still did nothing.

When Hitler got tired and breathless it was Stalin's turn. Uncle Joe crab the cat by the neck and dipped its behind in the mustard bowl. Cat immediately ran to the corner to lick the mustard off.

Stalin and Hitler looked amazed. Stalin replied: Yup, the trick is to make them want to save their own asses.
 
One of the "propogrander" films of ww2.

Soldier comes greets the furher by shouting "Heil Hilter"
General comes greets the furher by shouting "Heil Hilter"

hitler pauses for a moment:
Then completes the greetings "Heil Me"
 
Translation:
Lets laugh and learn:First law against air pollution was enacted in England in 1273

In the balloon:From now on it is forbidden to fart near his majesty!

That reminds me of a cartoon in a British newspaper a few years back when there was some sort of problem about refugees off the Australian coastline. It had two Aussies standing on a cliff with signs saying "No immigrants" and "No more Foreigners!"

Behind them one Aborigine says to the other "Why didn't we think of that?"

There are hundreds of jokes related to Ceausescu. Do they qualify as historical jokes?

Here's one with other subject:
Stalin dies. He isn't accepted in heaven so he goes to hell. After 50 years Satan, when he meets God and talks a little with him, he complains: "We have a guy called Stalin, he included all the devils in the party, he took my torture rooms and made them property of the state, it's horrible!". God: "Ha, I would never believe that you can't handle him. Give it to me a couple of years and you'll see". After 25 years, God meets Satan again. Satan: "Hello, God, how are you?". God: "First, I'm a comrade. Second: God doesn't exist!".
