My favorite reply to these: “Actually, she’s dead” (yes, this is true. And yes I do it on purpose to make people react. And I also love these jokes bc I think they’re actually funny)

First and foremost, there was accurate (more or less) news of the war. Newspapers in occupied Europe were either banned to conserve paper or were heavily censored by the Germans, who only allowed news of German victories to be published. Radio ownership was forbidden under the occupation, but most people wealthy enough to afford a set were able to keep one hidden, even if it was just a simple homemade crystal receiver. Besides the news there was other programming intended to lift the spirits of people under occupation, including patriotic music and jokes like this one. Radio programs included helpful instructions on how to resist against the occupiers, both passively and through direct action. The BBC also sent coded messages to communicate instructions to resistance groups.
