War Humor.

[RCfalcon]

Yep. Humor, albeit often dark humor, is what helped those soldiers stay sane.

I know that shortly after the first Fw-190's began showing up and started terrorizing American bomber formations, someone put a poster up at one of the bomber bases that read "Who's afraid of the new Focke-wulf?"

Soon after that poster went up, one of the gunners tacked a piece of paper up to the bottom that read "Sign here". Most of the other pilots and gunners signed up.
