A reporter was interviewing an old Scandinavian fighter pilot, asking him how it was in the war.

“Vell,” said the old guy, “vee used to fly up dere and dogfight dem Krauts. Ya, vee used to shoot dem German fokkers outta da sky.”

“For the benefit of our viewers,” interrupted the reporter, “we should explain that the term ‘fokker’ refers to a specific type of German fighter plane.”

“Vell ya,” said the old Scandinavian pilot, “but those fokkers were Messerschmitt’s.”

I wonder what they mean by “Scandinavian”, since the only really Scandinavian country involved in WW2 was Norway. Unless they mean “northern European” which covers everything from Iceland to Finland and Latvia.

At least one Danish pilot flying in either 331 or 332 Norwegian Squad.
