    I'd never buy a German car. Not after what my grandad told me about his experiences in the war.

    Seems he had terrible trouble getting spare parts for his staff car.

    I was wrong there. Of course the Germans have a sense of humour. Though it is rather robust, and often involves invading Poland for a joke.

    The problem with the Third Reich was that in all groups there were just a few bad eggs who had to spoil it for everyone else.

    Adolf was never satisfied with a quick pint and burning down government buildings, he just had to show off and go that little bit too far!

    Just be glad it's not a crime in the USA, otherwise extradition proceedings would have already started...

    If you had any sense of history you wouldnt make filthy jokes like that. Do you have any idea what they did to the jehovas witnesses ? thought not.

    They used to knock on the cell doors three times a day and ask them 'what do you think about the state of the world today'

    He felt it offered him an alternative world view that chimed with his individual feelings and beliefs.
