My old man recounted a story that during the war, in an attempt to fool the Bosche into thinking we had more planes, we built a few wooden airfields in the Home Counties. Wooden hangars, wooden control towers, wooden gun emplacements, wooden spitfires etc.
Apparently Jerry flew over and dropped a few wooden bombs on them.
No sense of humour? Mmmmmmmm........not so sure on that one.

According to Mashable this meme may have run its course if the movie studio responsible for Der Untergang get their way...

The movie studio responsible for the award-winning, German-Austrian film Downfall (German: Der Untergang) has asked YouTube to take down several videos from the massively popular subtitled “Hitler finds out…” meme, and the site has complied.

Search YouTube and you’ll still find hundreds of Downfall parodies, but click thru to some of the bigger ones and you’ll now get the message, “This video contains content from Constantin Film, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.”

According to TechCrunch, the first Downfall parody to be taken down was the one about the iPhone 4G leak, but other popular parodies followed. At four million views, “Hitler Gets Banned from Xbox Live” was one of the most watched and thus among the casualties. The remaining videos might get taken down soon as well.

Each parody video takes a scene from Downfall in which Hitler throws a tantrum when he learns that he cannot win the war. Fake subtitles are then applied to make it appear as if he’s having a tantrum about something else. The topics have ranged from Michael Jackson’s death to Hitler learning that he’s the subject of an out-of-control YouTube video meme.

Downfall director Oliver Hirschbiegel told New York Magazine that he laughs at the parodies. “You couldn’t get a better compliment as a director,” he said. Unfortunately, Constantin Film’s legal team isn’t as easygoing about it.

I just watched a couple and I can't see what's so funny, but then I understand what he's saying and somehow the joke doesn't work for me. Maybe if you don't speak a word of German it's funny.

This is one meme that I can miss. Sure, I can see the humour, but understanding the spok language somehow kills off the joke.

L

mich . Are you saying that you're a Nazi??!

Isn't this very old news? These things have been doing the rounds for months.

A more pertinent question might be "Who hasn't seen them?"

The best one I saw was Hitler complaining about his rant being hijacked by the internet, and that laughing about Nazis wasn't funny. Oh the irony.

I quite like them. The xBox one is good. And the one I mentioned last week: http://forums.contractoruk.com/light...own-video.html is ripe for a cuk version.

Understanding German makes absolutely no difference.
