Not too long before the French Revolution. A coachman is convicted by the court to be publicly shamed.
Judge: "In the name of the king and the law, you're declared honorless!" Coachman: "Does that mean that I can't drive my coach anymore?" Judge: "Nobody will stop you." Coachman: "Then I don't care about the conviction!" Judge: "Neither do I."

Korean War.
The US have re-conquered a village. When they march in, a short old man comes out and shouts: "Hurrah for the USA!"
Some grumpy soldier asks him: "And what did you shout when the Chinese took your village?"
"Hurrah for China!"
"So where's the difference?"
"I tell you the truth about what I told the other side!"

This one's really good:
Germany. Müller and Schulz are debating.
Schulz: "What is Kriegsrecht (martial law)?" Müller: "When there's no war and no law." Schulz: "Then why is it called 'Kriegsrecht'?" Müller: "Because they declared war on the law."

Adolf Nazi's been appointed chancellor. On that very evening, the nazis organize a torch rally in Berlin. Hindenburg and Hitler are watching. the old president doesn't comment, nor show what he's really thinking. Then, a huge number of SA men in brown uniforms are marching along. Now Hindenburg asks Hitler: "When did we catch all those Russian soldiers?"

Germany 1933. Two SA men meet.
#1: "How many blokes in your sturm (72–240 men) are actually convinced nazis?" #2: "Maybe three. But give us some time, and we'll have mobbed them out too!"

German East Africa. The black natives are uprising. The colonial ministry in Berlin sends a message to the local civil servants: "The natives are to be instructed that they'll have to register every uprising six weeks before it starts, otherwise they'll have to face heavy punishment."

Germany in the 1930s. A man enters a deli.
Customer: "I'd like a Hitler herring." Salesman: "Hitler herring? We don't have that. What's that supposed to be?" Customer: "The same as a Bismarck herring - just without a head."

Germany 1933. The Nazi terror has started. Soon, the Germans say: "This wouldn't have happened if Hindenburg was still alive!"

This one might be something for you, lordroel : Between 1933 and 1940: A Berlinian firm writes to a customer in Amsterdam and finishes the letter with "With German greetings: Heil Hitler!" The customer ends his reply with: "With Dutch greetings! And our good queen Wilhelmina sends her regards as well."

And a reason why the kaiser never invaded the Netherlands during World War I: Kaiser Wilhelm tried to impress Queen Wilhelmina of Holland by telling her "My guards are seven feet tall and yours are only shoulder-high to them." her reply was, "Quite true, Your Majesty, your guards are seven feet tall. But when we open our dikes, the water is ten feet deep!"

Nazi Germany. A factory owner has learned that the party put him on its "blacklist". So he meets the gauleiter and asks him, under four eyes, that he might give him quite a sum of Reichsmarks, hint hint.
Gauleiter: "As a national socialist, I have to refuse your offer by all means! But as a human being, I'm asking you: How much would you be willing to pay?"

Nazi Germany again.
"Yesterday Bernhard was arrested!"
"Oh no, and he was such a decent person! For what reason?"
"Well, that's why!"
