I heard that the origin of the dumb Polish jokes is the fact that almost every educated Polish man was killed in World War II. All of the Polish college graduates were commissioned officers in the Polish army. After the Red Army killed them, there were very few educated Poles alive.

Hooray for Poland. God bless the Poles.

I always think of the Winged Hussars under king Jan Sobieksi taking out an army of 300k muslims under kareem mustafa with just fraction of that number of combined troops.

Quite. The fact that those "educated" occifers insisted on repeated cavalry charges against tanks by the troops they commmanded (among other brilliant military maneuvers) pretty much guaranteed those Educated Intellectuals and the poor enlisted peons they led died "gloriously" for their country. Only the uneducated common people survived.

To paraphrase Patton: 'Your job is not to die for your country. Your job is to make sure the other poor fool dies for his.'

Somehow, the Poles did not manage to learn that particular lesson.

The Poles I know in Poland say that the Germans started those “dumb” Pollack jokes.

All of the Polish jokes have been given new life in Canada but the object is “Newfies”
