Source for Luftwaffe Jagdwaffe joke?
“When an FW-190 crashes, they take the wreckage to Kurt Tank and he strengthens the parts that failed. When a Bf-109 crashes, they take the wreckage to Willi Messerschmitt and he lightens the parts that stayed together”.
I have seen this cited as a wartime joke, with variations, in a number of English-language sources. Does anyone know where it originated from or a German source?
