I have not heard any Polish jokes about WW2 The jokes I heard growing up about WW2 were about the Italians e.g. A tank backfired and 1/2 the Italian Army surrendered. It was of course unfair on the Italians who fought hard particulary on the Eastern Front against the USSR. The reason they bacame the butt of the British jokes was the poor performance of the Italian Army in Africa and Navy in the Med.
