Third Reich Humor Part III - Fun with acronyms
Today, I'll list a few redone acronyms with a little context for each one.
First, most people know NSDAP is the National Socialist German Worker's Party, or the Nazis.
One thing, when the Nazis first came into power, and started imprisoning ranking left wing party officials, Nazi officials treated it like a spoils of war thing, where they'd take all the nice offices that were once held by Communists, Socialists and Social Democrats, which leads us to our first acronym:
Second, the Nazis were extremely militaristic (obviously) and early on were very careful not to anger the military. When the SA started seizing veteran political dissidents, this angered the military, and was one of the reasons that Hitler had Rohm and his ranking SA officers killed. So this brings us to out second acronym:
The NSBO was the Nationalsozialistische Betriebsorganization, a left-wing Nazi union that lost its power after the Rohm purge. Now to our third acronym:
The BDM, or Bund deutscher Madel, oryoung German maidens League of German Maidens, was the female equivalent to the Hitler Youth, that was designed to teach young German women to be good German women, ie mothers, homemakers, and so on. But in the process they brought these young women away from their families to retreats, and they'd take advantage of that. And the organization developed quite a - er -reputation. Which brings us to our final two acronyms:
And so long as we're on the subject of the BDM and their reputation, there is one final joke for today's post:

NSDAP: Na, suchst du auch Postchen? (You too want a nice little office?)

So this brings us to out second acronym:
NSDAP: Nur solange die Armee pariert.(Only as long as the army tolerates it.)
The NSBO was the Nationalsozialistische Betriebsorganization, a left-wing Nazi union that lost its power after the Rohm purge. Now to our third acronym:
NSBO: Noch sind die Bonzen oben (The bosses are still on top.)
The BDM, or Bund deutscher Madel, or
BDM: Bald deutsche Mutter (Soon a German mother)
BDM: Bubi, druck mich (Baby, squeeze me)
And so long as we're on the subject of the BDM and their reputation, there is one final joke for today's post:
A young teacher wanted to earn his National Socialist spurs and assigned this essay topic: Would Werther have committed suicide if he had been in the Hitler Youth? After that, a competitive female teacher gave her girls this assignment: Would the Maid of Orleans have remained a virgin, if she had been in the Bund deutscher Madel?
