Pre-dating the internet, the Nazis began their secret weapon: Lolzenstein Katchen. It was a failure, until late 2005, when it was unearthed by modern German scientists and renamed Lolcats.
Thanks. Thought so. I sent a copy along to Gunboards.com (A firearm and militaria collectors forum) for all to enjoy. The comments there have been pretty entertaining as well.
This picture is so uber-freaky that after 21 comments no one has even bothered to mention the grammy award he’s got dangling around his neck. Wie geht’s boy–eeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Yeah…I guess the outhouse in the background would qualify that as a solid hunch. Or toolshed, or guardpost, or toll booth, or ventilation shaft, but I got nuthin’ for that. HEY! There’s a cat on his head!
Gerard Butler, we hardly knew ye — wait, you know what? This actually seems about right.
Don’t ask; don’t tell.
Was haben Sie während des Krieges gemacht, Großvater?
Every soldier knows that you accessorize your white cotton minidress and knee high leather boots with a cat helmet.
This one is clearly high up, a lesser private would attempt to have a snow-white cat on his helmet, messing up the whole outfit.
OMG OMG 3rd comment. Must…make…good…
Umm.. Umm…

HA!
Ja, wir hatten eine kleine zu trinken. Warum fragst du?
lemme guess, he’s got pussy on the mind?
No wonder they lost the war.
You’re right, their helmets were goddamn impractical.
1. “I can haz pants?”
2. “Heil Kitteh!”
3. “The Cat In The Hat – Military issue”
Looks like the Basement Cat was hard up for minions back then.
Basement Cat is the leadre of his very own platoon of nazi-zombies. Oh wait, they just think he’s real cute…

WIN!
Nuthin says manly like a pussy on your head, right? Oh yeah, and no pants matched with big, baggy knee high boots. Classy!
The Nazis get so much bad press, but we tend to forget their sense of humor.

Ha ha I’m the one who submitted this one
Hey Dan, where did you find this? Just curious.
I think it’s actually WWI vintage, not WWII. The helmet looks like a model 1816 and the belt looks to matches the era as well.
Found it on a forum while searching for funny war pictures, and you’re right, it is from WW1.

“I can haz soljer?”
Someone surely lost a bet.
Finally, an appropriate occasion for one of the few German phrases I know: ich trage keine hosen!
Why no pants?
Even Hitler wasn’t insane enough to unleash this horror on humanity.
Damn. Today, I have a new hero.
Where are his pants?
Bad nooz fer kitteh.
Helmut iz pickle haub.
Must be a member of the french special forces. Those bastards get all the cool new equipment.
Soldier stash replacement…
Ich verlor eine wette.

That picture is so weird that I wouldn’t even have noticed the cat had it not been in the caption.
you know, there wasn’t any nazis in WWI. the helmet is a dead giveaway
a cat is fine too
