A Nazi storm trooper was today sentenced to serve two months in jail because he disregarded warnings by his commander to end his friendship with a Jewish girl. When the Nazi was observed, as he was strolling with the Jewish girl, he was arrested.
His punishment was made heavier because he replied to threats of expulsion from the Nazi party with the remark that he “did not give a hoot for the storm troops.”
