Landser lachen - Fronthumor dieses Krieges

This is a digitization of the original booklet. Perhaps someone would like to offer a translation of the funniest ones into English?

'This little humor book was published by the "Voelkischer Beobachter" newspaper in late 1944 and features funny anecdotes, poems, and other humor from soldiers on all fronts, though especially soldiers on the Eastern Front.' - http://www.archive.org/details/LandserLachen-FronthumorDiesesKrieges

Yeah, i don't know what language that is, but definitely not the German I grew up with. I do not know a single word with a "wj" letter combination (Noun compounds do not count).

It's romanized Russian - "Руки верх" becomes "Ruki vyerkh" or I guess "Ruki wjerch" with German phonetics. It means "Hands up".

The joke is if she obeys the command, she'll expose herself.

Ok, that of course makes totally sense then

I read some of the jokes... they were all really lame and harmless. I would guess it's a propaganda take on humor written by NSDAP journalists.

The front jokes I heard from my grandfather were a lot grittier and more sarcastic... and a lot funnier.
