NOT AMUSED Adolf Hitler GESTAPO chiefs put together a weekly list of the new gags told about Hitler – and jailed the joke tellers.

Researcher­s uncovered one joke which said: “Hitler drives with his chauffeur.

“They have an accident and kill a pig. Hitler tells the chauffeur to pay the owner compensati­on.

“The driver comes back with a lot of gifts and food. Hitler is surprised.

“The driver says, ‘When I said, heil Hitler the pig is dead, they laughed and gave me presents.’”

Prof Alexandra Oeser, of Paris Nanterre University, analysed 217 court cases of people who faced up to three years in jail.

She said: “In one case a man denounced the lover of his wife. And a couple denounced the parent who rented them their flat.”
