I can't believe May got that wrong, it was 1940.

There's one more in that episode where the Top Gear team competes with a group of German motorists where Jeremy said along the lines of "They want us to find a place to do the competition, and I suggested the skies above the English channel"

[@wjmcd703]

He actually said that he suggested the skies over southern England

Being German I can do ze German accent as well, but yes, Jeremy just does it so well with the mixture of German words with accent and English - it's just the perfect mix. I could probably do something similar but then again, I've lived in the UK for over a decade so I know both sides.

[@jonnnyren6245]

Oh come on we all know the story of how Viscount May of Hammersmith and 55 RAF or the Hammersmith Cockerspaniels assisted the Duke of Hammond during the North Africa campaign of 1943! They both ended up defeating the Commander of the Gorilla Regiment in El Alamein and he retreated back to Stuttgart to rearm. In 1944 the Viscount had a rematch with Reichsmarschall von Clarkson and he shot him down over Calais during the D-Day landings. The Viscount May won the Victoria Cross for getting 6 enemy kills with a damaged wing and managed to return home.

[@peterrraklliproductions2020]

Before North Africa, the Viscount May was going to lead “Operation Pillock,”where a bunch of Lancaster Bombers would bomb the Nurburgring. But, unfortunately, the plan was shelved and the Viscount May was sent to North Africa.

Well... In fact, with the death of the queen, leaderership of the German royal house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha ended. But since the line is always passed on from the male side, thanks to Prince Philip, the German house of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg is now the princely line that continues to lead England. And that for at least the next 3 kings. Just as Queen Victoria always wanted...

To be fair... The frogs tried to have a good time in Germany in 1939. But they stopped, a few miles behind the borders and left after a while, without partyin'. So we had to make a visit to them, a year later. Remember... We didn't finish the tour of 1914... And there was a need for a 2nd leg...

[@dougearnest7590]

No, the problem with making jokes about fascists/Nazis/Hitler is not because you'll offend fascists. On the contrary, that would normally be encouraged, but the problem is you might say a word that would trigger a sensitive leftist useful idiot. Meanwhile, you're still not allowed to say bad things about Stalin. Or the Japanese.
