Another variant is the German plane is invisible.

If it's blue, it's British. If it's silver, it's American. If it's invisible, it's ours!
A Finnish Winter War version goes about so:
"How can you tell a Soviet plane from a our own?
Answer: if there are two or more, they are Soviet, if one or less they are own"

Another few :

Back in the old days (till 1990) little kids brag about whose cousin was a better partisan. Perica says:"My grandpa definitely-once he saved fifty partisans!" -"How?" -"His machine-gun jammed..."

Day in class (pre 1990.).Teacher asks the pupils about the glorious past.Perica's turn. "- Who were the partisans,Perice?" -"Brave heroes who fought until the last drop of blood to liberate our country from vicious Germans and bring us freedom and prosperity." "-Excellent,Perice! Now,how were the Chetniks?" "-Aah,that's easy-one grandpa,and another,and their brothers,and their brother's children..."

Cheers,

Here's another genuine ww2 joke from Romania. (It was recorded by the Swiss envoy to Bucharest IIRC).

In a particularly crowded bus, a German officer steps on the foot of a Jew. Gripped by pain, the Jew hits the officer in the face. The rest of the passengers imediately jump on the German officer and beat him up. The police intervenes and disperses them. The police officer questions the Jew:
"How did you dare to hit a German officer!"
"Excuse me, Sir! but the pain was so great I couldn't restrain myself."
Turning towards the otehr passengers, he asks them:
"And you, why did you assault an officer of our glorious ally's army?"
Someone from the crowd replies:
"Sorry Sir! but when we saw a Jew slapping a German we tought the war was over!" :lol:

And a postwar Romanian joke:

Some kids talk about the war:
"You know", one of them says "duing the war, my Grandfather sent three Russian tanks runing"
"How did he do that?"
"Well, he ran away and the tanks followed him." :lol:

Here is one I made up...

A Polish jew was freed from Auschwitz. He becomes a nazi hunter, and goes to Mexico with his wife to find a nazi hunter after a day he gives up. His wife asks him why he gave up so quick. He tells her: I have given up because this country is worse than Auschwitz ever was!

here is another thing one.

A American soldier finds a Russian soldier looking threw the pockets of a dead GI. The American asks "what are you looking for"

The Russian says: Im looking for a American visa!

So German troops can march in the shade.

These are ones I've read.
As the Russians were advancing upon Berlin in April 1945, a bitter joke went around the Volkssturm that it would take the enemy three hours for them to penetrate: 15 minutes to kick down the defences and 2 hrs 45 minutes laughing their heads off!


A Russian dies and goes to hell. There, he finds that there is a different hell for each country. He approaches the first hell he sees, the German hell. He asks the demon who's guarding it, "What happens in there?"
"For starters, they strap you to a bed of nails, pump you full of boiling water, pluck out your toenails and finally whip you for all eternity."

The Russian is appalled and checks out the Polish hell, asking the guard whatit contained. Receving the same answer, he went past all the other hells until he reached the Russian hell. There was an abnomally long queue there and he thus dedued it was more popular. He asked the guard there what it contained.
"They strap you to a bed of nails, pump you full of boiling water, pluck out your toenails and finally whip you for all eternity," the annoyed demon replied, having answered that question constantly.
"B-but that's the same thing they have in all the other hells! Why does this seem much more popular?" The Russian is shocked.
"True, true, but sometimes there aren't enough nails; there's a shortage of water; the pliers go missing and someone would've pinched the whip . . ."

A funny

This isn't exactly a joke, but it's funny.

On 25 August 1942 the Japanese destroyer Mutsuki was bombed and sunk by B-17's near Guadalcanal. She is the first known warship sunk at sea by a B-17.

After he was rescued, her captain, Yasutake Shiro, is reported to have said "I always knew those things would sink a ship someday, but why did it have to be MY ship?"
