Where is the station? is something like "Wo ist der bahnhof, Englander schweinhund?" You might also find useful, "Can ist ein bier haben, gott in himmel?"

Achtung! Ein Spitfeuer bier bitte!

My favourite phrases were ones where the Japanese were in it, you always got "English Pig Dog" which when we were kids was brilliant we used it all the time when "playing" war. :)

I remember it as the Germans who yelled "Englander pig dog!" presumably because a Brit's grasp of foreign languages was never going to be up to translating "schweinhund."

I always thought German for "Spitfire" was "AchtungSpitfeuer", because that's what they always said in Commando Comics.

A primary school teacher once told me of a nativity scene drawn by her class which, under the influence of the imperfectly understood lyrics of Silent Night, included a nearly spherical character that the children identified as "Round John Virgin".

I fear we may need a whole new thread if we are straying into the realm of mondegreens :)

Gladly, my cross-eyed bear. That's all I'm saying :D

I'm not German, never studied it and don't care if their nouns start with capitals.

I am surprised in these awfuly PC days they are still allowed to publish I can remember them:-

Calling all  all Japs "slant/Slit Eyes"
Lots of the japs had buck teeth and glasses
Germans were "Krauts" or "Squareheads" or the "bloody Hun"
The cynics are right nine times out of ten. -Mencken, H. L.

Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well. - Robert Louis Stevenson

"Merrill's Marauders" from Battle Action Force (or whatever it was at the time!) is a classic example of that massive racism...

Pretty much every line is a racial slur. Don't abuse the Japanese for what they actually did, abuse them for stereotyped Alf Garnett Farage style caricatures!
