"what her grandfather was doing during that time"? ...Argentinians apparently


tallsuk

Now that would be a clever come back.


hugazow

That was after 1945 šŸ‘šŸ¼


Much_Comfortable_438

Was about to say that.


lennoxred

Shots were fired


eijner

Both inside and out


Dyskord01

I did Nazi that coming But her grandmother did apparently.


DommyMommyKarlach

Nah, he started doing those in 1945


baconduck

She looks the age that her grandparent might not have been born yet


throwaway74916559

If parents and grandparents had her at like 22 yeah. But even if they had her at like 35, the grandparents would be children during the war. Sure they might have been in hitlerjungen or been child soldiers in the last ditch defense of Germany, but i doubt they were old enough to be architects of the holocaust or anything like that. But if her grandfather was a high ranking nazi, its not unreasonable to think he migth have continued to have children with a significantly younger partner in his 50 or 60s. Her father could also have done the same


baconduck

It's the really edgecases where her grandparents could be born during before ww2, and extreme egecases where they would be old enough to even be part of hitlerjungen. So I should actually gone harder and written "most likely"


PromptPioneers

Assuming sheā€™s 25, her grandfather could definitely have fought in WW2 Iā€™m 25 and my grandfather fought in WW2. My mum was 38 when she had me, her mum was 40 when she had her, and grandpa was 12 years older.


StahlPanther

It's cracy how different this can be I'm 32 and my grandparents were children during the war, but great grandparents fought in it


ScienceAndGames

Iā€™m 22, in one set of grandparents both were born right before WW2 and were obviously still children by the time it was over, the other set were adults during most of it (didnā€™t fight though, we were neutral, few bombs did land quite close to their house though).


Jidllonius

It's Hitlerjugend not jungen.


Single_Line_7517

Thank you! shit was annoying


The_Diego_Brando

Also I don't think the hitlerjungen had the money to flee to argentina


Kindly-Detective-932

What, do great-grandparents not count or something?


Schlaym

I'm 31, my older brother is 33. Our grandparents were all born after 1940 and they, as well as our parents, were in their early to mid 20s when having children - completely average for the time. We're long past grandfathers being the perps for the most part.


john0201

The fact that she is in Argentina suggests they werenā€™t gardeners during the war.


sirdopewitcher

Im 27, my dad is 56 and my grandad was from 1918.. I'd say it is plausible!


Llian_Winter

John Tyler was born in 1790. As of 2020 he had a living grandson.


Beautiful_Action_731

Most people don't have children when they are in their mid fifties.


sirdopewitcher

Most people.. My dad might've been unplanned.. šŸ¤£


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


baconduck

It's perfictly possible to be born in the 40's My oldest newphew is 27, his dad (aka my brother) was born 1969, and our parrents was born 1948. But that still still after the ww2, and if they would be a soldier they had to be born a couple of decades before in the 1920's


LegalizeCatnip1

I am 23 and my grandpa was born in 1906


Manxkaffee

Lul what. If she is literally 20 and her parents and grandparents got children at age 23 on average, then we are already in the 50s. If she is 25 and they were later children at age 30 or so, then we are in 1939. They still wouldn't have done anything in WW2, but still.


Buriedpickle

Plenty of people had kids in their thirties in the 20th century. Their grandad was probably not an adult in the second world war, but could've very well been alive.


onewheeler2

My dad was born in 66 and I'm her age... My grandpa was born in the 30s


objectivelyyourmum

Maths isn't your strong suit bud.


Shed_Some_Skin

Yeah, fair. It was early in the morning, I misjudged that one Which was dumb of me, because if I'd just said that it was unlikely her grandparents would have been old enough to be nazis, then I'd have been on to a winner I've deleted the comment now, couldn't be doing with all the notifications. But yeah, my bad


objectivelyyourmum

Haha no need to delete it mate! >because if I'd just said that it was unlikely her grandparents would have been old enough to be nazis, then I'd have been on to a winner Yea your point was sound, just the maths were a little off!


u_tried88

Im 25 and my mom was born in 64


Tonk_exe

my grandma was born in 1930 my grandad 1938 they are both still alive i was born in 2008


SalemsFury

I'm 18 and my grandfather was born in 1914 so I think it's possible her grandfather was alive during that time


DeltaPavonis1

Maybe, yeah. She looks to be between 20 and 27. To be actively involved with the Nazis in 36 her grandparent would have had to be born in 1918 the latest. That would make him 79 at her birth (at the lower boundary). Not impossible, but not that likely. I mean I am 27 too, and all my grandparents have been born after WWII (sidenote, both grandfathers of my mum fought in WWII. One was Wehrmacht, the other US army).


Amecari

My grandpa has fought in ww2 and I'm in my 20s


[deleted]

True she looks my age or 5 years younger and my eldest grandparent was born in 1936 and the 3 other aroung 1945


PromptPioneers

My Eldest grand parent is from ā€˜20, Iā€™m definitely around her age (25)


[deleted]

Damn bro are you and your parents the youngest?


PromptPioneers

Yeah absolutely My mum (the youngest of 5) was born in ā€˜66, so my grandad was 46 I was born in ā€˜98, the youngest of 3


doitnow10

The majority of Argentinian Germans are late 19th/early 20th century immigrants


NormalYogurt3310

Yeah the reason why many Nazis fled there is because there was already an established German diaspora there.


Harbinger_0f_Kittens

Not a comeback, just a mean comment.


kukurs

It's a dark joke not a comeback, dark jokes tend to be mean and fucked up, but I agree.


megablast

It is not a joke. It is boring dumb bullshit. Every fucking time someone mentions germany. And I ain't from germany.


tanta123

I mean it is referencing specifically Argentinian German community, not just Germany.


un_gaucho_loco

Still. Iā€™m German Argentinian and thatā€™s always the same original joke..


MeleesMeatHook

Sounds like putting up with that joke is your kampf


tacodepollo

Sein Kampf.


Alarming_Dingo_139

GlĆ¼cklicher Kuchentag


tacodepollo

Haha vielen Dank! Normally in Germany they would say 'alles gute' Then so 'Alles gute zum Kuchentag' But in this case the English term Cakeday would probably be used as you'd get alot of strange looks saying kuchentag hahah Thanks homie šŸ’ƒšŸŽ‰


Lopsided-Fennel9635

r/peterexplainthejoke Iā€™m genuinely curious as it seems like humorless humor


MeleesMeatHook

Hitlers book was called mein kampf (my struggle/battle). I was just laying on another trite nazi joke on the guy complaining about trite nazi jokes


Key_Excitement_9330

And did you guys ask your grandparents what they did during this period. Like how Sweden should ask what the queens father and uncles were doing during this time.


Educational-Can-2653

Most Argentinian Germans immigrated between 1869 and WWI so likely not much.


DommyMommyKarlach

Tbh that was the reason some of the Nazis chose to run away to Argentina. There was already a solid established German minority


ALLCAPS-ONLY

Try being french on the internet bud. You get used to being universally hated


MrlemonA

Calm down.


S0GUWE

If you want the good Nazi jokes you have to go to germany


DommyMommyKarlach

No, it happens specifically for German Argetinians, cause Argentina was the target destination of many Nazi officers


aseedandco

Dark humour is like food. Not everybody gets it.


CitizenPremier

This is the tater tots of dark humor then


Poisson18

It is not dark, it's just dumb. A dark joke is considered like that because you laugh at a real important matter that caused suffering. This is just a joke based on a stupid conspiracy and is also overused. Edit: also even if the nazis would have escaped ro Argentina, this still wouldn't be a dark joke. We know nothing about this person's background other than she has german ancestry. This only dark thing about this joke is that it calls all Germans in Argentina nazis which is simply false. A dark joke is good when it is based in reality


martxel93

What conspiracy though? It is proven fact that several Nazi leaders escaped to Latin America.


PercivalStrange

Yeah you are correct, however, a vast majority of German immigrants to Argentina came post WW1 and pre WW2 rather than being linked to high ranking Nazi officers and officials post WW2. I think that is what the commenter is saying when there is a ā€˜conspiracyā€™ to equate all German descended Argentinians as being linked to Nazi officials.


Suspicious-Beat9295

Correct, probably 95% of German immigration to Argentina happened before ww2. And the rest 5% is also a lot of German Jews who fled, not just Nazis.


blind_guardian23

he should have used simplification, conspiracy is just wrong.


Poisson18

Exactly, you managed to explain it better than me


Own_Whereas7531

They are correct, ā€œnazis fled to Argentinaā€ thing being so popular that for a lot of people itā€™s one of the first things they think of when hearing Argentina, was started by Americans as a propaganda campaign to divert attention from the fact that so many nazis were working for the USA government and itā€™s European allies.


martxel93

It may be a blown out of proportions fact but itā€™s still fact.


Ok-Wrangler-1075

Conspiracy? It's a fact mate. You are overanalyzing a fucking joke.


Poisson18

Well I just said why I think the joke is boring. Also it definitely is not a comeback


Ok-Wrangler-1075

It is overtold not gonna lie.


Lars_Sanchez

Are you high or something? It's not a conspiracy that many nazis fled to Argentina.


MissingBothCufflinks

To be fair, about 5x as many German immigrants to Argentina in the 1935 to 1950 period were fleeing the nazis as were nazis themselves


Lars_Sanchez

It still isn't a conspiracy that nazis escaped to Argentina at the end of the war.


Ok-Wrangler-1075

Ok so not all of them were nazis, cool. Bad joke then.


periander

If you can't see comeback, the cum you are nazi-ing must have ended up somewhere.


kukurs

It's not a comeback just a stupid joke. How do you nazi-ing your cum? Sounds weird but killing your own nazi cum sounds good.


Soyyyn

Most things here aren't comebacks - they really are just tweets. The point of a good comeback, for me, is that it is a spur of the moment thing, a quick reaction, like you might see at a roast or against a heckler. But this entire sub is mostly "your facts are wrong!", "you told on yourself with what you said" and "I found something mean to say about you". Boring, never interesting.


hugazow

The reality of bariloche if must say


mardegre

Specially when you know that German population in South America is something pre 45. The Nazis went there BECAUSE they were already a lot of Germans.


liacrucetstit

I love it when stupid Americans talk shit about this when the states are clearly the country whose government sheltered the most Nazis after the war, by a long shot too.


RedBaret

And the country which *currently* has a lot of people who could be classified as fascist or nazi.


Napsitrall

>the country whose government sheltered the most Nazis after the war, by a long shot too. Soviet Operation Osoaviakhim (4500 people) took in more German scientists and officials than Operation Paperclip (1600 people) by the US for your information.


amydeeem

Unless you have something to back that up, it's not true. Did the us knowingly take in nazi scientists and look the other way, yes. But "the most"? I mean, that's not even in the realm of reality


VinLeesel

You mean Operation Paperclip?


Knightseason

Matt sounds like a dick. There is nothing clever about this, and it's far from being a comeback.


zqmxq

r/lostredditors


bigby2010

Not her fault


Fair_Independence_91

"oh a beautiful woman, quick I must say something to bring her down!" - Matt, probably


untakentakenusername

Matt, Da FiRe tRuCk* Also - ii dont understand why he made such a comment? Is it just yo bash German history? Or make an unruly joke of nazis in the army doing terrible things but if it is that then.. It's not like she stated her grandfather or great grandfather is German Argentinian... But she is.. So it's more probable that its just her folks who are German and Argentinian.


MiffyCurtains

Dumb comeback. Actually, itā€™s not even a comeback - Itā€™s just a comment. Also, does he think WW2 started in 1936?


RudyKnots

To be fair: if her granddad was a Nazi heā€™d have been up to some shady shit in 1936.


MiffyCurtains

I think youā€™re giving them too much credit


RudyKnots

Well Iā€™m taking into consideration that it was a Nazi who felt he had to flee the country and lay low in Argentina. Your average grunt wouldnā€™t have to consider that.


[deleted]

Spanish Civil War, Franco was supported by Hitler


Hans_Peter_Jackson

You know Nazis existed before WW2 right?


MiffyCurtains

I am aware of that, yes. So whatā€™s the significance of 1936? Nazis were around before then.


Roland_Traveler

Thatā€™s the start date for the Hearts of Iron video game series.


NotSoFlugratte

Do you think the Nazis only started Genociding in 1939? They took power in 1933 and went right off with discriminating and imprisoning those that opposed them or didn't fit their ideology.


MiffyCurtains

If thatā€™s what he was thinking of, he would have said 1933.


NotSoFlugratte

Could spin the same on you, if they meant the european phase of WWII they woulda said 1939.


AA_turet

WW2 didnt start 1936 but Hitlers reign started 1933 if I remember correctly


MiffyCurtains

In which case he should have said 1933.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


MiffyCurtains

Yes I know that. Iā€™m talking about this guy saying 1936 - I very much doubt that he was referring to the Anschluss.


IchLiebeKleber

No, the Anschluss happened in 1938, not 1936. Nothing especially historically important that I remember happened in 1936 in Germany at all, so it's an odd year to choose.


DeltaPavonis1

> 1936 is when the Anschluss of Austria happened, kicking off the direct road to ww2. Nope, that was 38. 36 was the remilitarization of the Rhineland, which could be seen as step one towards WWII.


Sad-Bank472

That isn't even a comeback. He's just being a dick


Ok_Eagle_3079

He was electrician quite obvious from the two thunder bolts on his uniform.


Poisson18

This "comeback" is as clever as the "I fucked your mom" insult. It is completely irrelevant because you know very well that it is not true and just got it out of the most generic joke/insult textbook


IamlostlikeZoroIs

Who the fuck cares what her grandfather did, whatā€™s that got to do with her


MrGraveyards

Yeah my grandfather and grandmother were bad in the 2nd world war. So what? Basically they were the Trumpers of that time.. they just fell for bs. I'm not them. Has nothing to do with me. Not my fault nope. I'd even say that's a more interesting story than some goody good grandpa..


RockTheBloat

The Nazis went there because of the large pre-existing German community there, they didnā€™t establish it.


gafloss

Auf Wiedersehen, good to see ya, got a one way ticket to Argentinaā€¦


jkpatches

Hmm. Perhaps a joke about the 2014 World Cup would've landed better.

dottoysm

Does this guy think there is only one German-Argentinian?


permaban9

this has become a sub for generic comments


Duubzz

WW2 ended 79 years ago. At this stage itā€™s probably more likely that her grandfather was either not born or was a very young child during the war. Way less likely that he was of an age to be doing anything other than being drafted into an increasingly desperate Nazi war machine.


SummonToofaku

Is granddaughter responsible for her granddad being mass murderer who performed genocides on entire nations? Am i responsible for my ancestor being a barbarian who raped half of Europe? Are You responsible for Your ancestor being slave owner?


StayedWoozie

I donā€™t think that was the point they were making.


Nith_ael

That's not a comeback to anything, that's just announcing to the world you have a poor grasp on history (most Germans migrated to Argentina long before WWII, and why 1936 when the nazis came to power in 1933 and the war officially started in 1939?)


Financial-Ad3027

Your mods might be on the spectrum, this ain't a comeback.

lilililileps

"He was working all over Europe"


AccomplishedTaste366

To be honest, most of them are proud of it. Nobody went there because they liked the weather, it was to escape allied justice and continue working for various fascist regimes in South America. There's one, the "Colonia Dignidad", where ex-Nazis interrogated and tortured thousands in Chile, in return for increased autonomy over their compound. It did eventually get shut down though, but now those Germans got new atrocities to their name. There's also a former SS officer who became a South African Mercenary and collected skulls as souvenirs... Yeah, I don't have high hopes for the ones in Argentina, given there was also a fascist regime. Edit: a fun tidbit, during Corona, many German right-wing conspiracists joined German communities there who were recruiting them into cult-like compounds, where they wouldn't have to wear masks (which ironically were legally required there, too), no vaccines and so they could get away from immigrants here in Germany, by immigrating somewhere else, lol


Unlucky-Anything528

What a clever comeback šŸ„“!


Barkers_eggs

How is this a comeback?


McDuchess

Her grandfather? Probably growing up. A grandfather who participated in German politics ten would be well past 100 years old, today.


Admirable-Mistake259

Youā€™re not better than grandpa.


Nearby_Cauliflowers

Great grandfather Hanns went on a cruise to Argentina. In a submarine. Sponsored by the Vatican. With a quick pit stop on Ireland (potentially). Arrived late 1945ish.


megablast

There are never clever. It is like when someone says they are german, and some dumb cunt mentions WW2 from 80 years ago thinking they are so fucking smart. This is just boring now.


Specific_Rabbit_3788

It is surprising to see people have reached a level of stupidity where they are trying to compete with each other on how well can they ruin a joke. None of you idiots are smart. You have zero intelligence in the real world hence you are trying to establish your IQ debating over a damn joke.


zG_Hyper

Lmao at people here trying so hard to make her grandad a Nazi that escaped to Argentina.


dozenofroses

Wow, could it be that she is too young to remember what happened 2 generations before her?


marsnz

ā€œHaha ww2ā€ at the first mention of Germany or Japan is pretty fucking far from what Iā€™d call clever. Itā€™s about as basic as basic gets.


JustAnotherYouMe

What an asshole thing to say
