Some historic anti-Nazi jokes from Germany Hey there. I thought, I'll take the time and translate you some of the so-called "Flüsterwitze"(whisper jokes) from nazi Germany. * The old code of law seems to complicated, so it has to be changed. From now on, there are only three laws: 1. If you do something, or fail to do something, you are punished. 2. The penalty is determined by the peoples emotion*. 3.What the peoples emotions is dictated by the Gauleiter(governor). (1934/35) (original: "gesundes Volksempfinden" translates to "healthy emotions of the populace". The nazis used this as an excuse for mob violence agains Jews in the early days) * The mayor of a small rural town is ordered to identify the local communists. Not knowing how to find out who they are, he calls Berlin and asks for help. The tell him: "Communists are people who don't want to work but expect to earn a lot." The mayor answers: "Well, we got two of those: the preacher and the teacher."(1933) * "The government just bought the Sahara?" - "Why?" - "So they can cast more sand into peoples eyes." (sand in the eyes = to pull the wool over ones eyes) (1938) * There can't be any elections in the forseeable future. - Why? - There was a break-in at the ministry of propaganda and the result for the next elections have been stolen from Goebbels desk. * The Führer always keeps his promises.

(1934) * At a press meeting Goebbels tells an American journalist: "If Roosevelt had something like the SS, there wouldn't be any Gangsters left in the US!" The yournalist answers: "Of course not. They would all be squad leaders by now."
