The men were to be held for questioning. On the first day, the Allied soldiers took the first German in to be questioned. The guards sit him in a chair and tie his arm behind him so he can’t move. They pressed and pressed but after hours of interrogation, he finally cracks and gives away some key troop positioning. The intel is confirmed good and he is thrown back in the cell only a little worse for ware.
The next day they decide to take in the second German officer. In the same manner as the first they sit him down, tie him up and begin the interrogation. They spend hours trying to get him to crack but with some physical convincing, he gives up the cipher key he knows. The guards then toss him back into the cell, a little beaten but nothing too bad.
On the third day, the guards take away the Italian. They take the entire day trying to get him to crack but no amount of convincing or torture will even get a word from his lips. At the end of the day with nothing to show they toss the nearly beaten-to-death Italian back in the cell. The guard says “You WILL talk tomorrow.”

During WW2, in Germany, a Jewish man was walking down the street. As ordered by the Nazis, he was forced to wear a star on his lapel, to signify that he was a Jew.
Meanwhile, Hitler had recently bought a new Mercedes and was cruising around in his sleek new car. As he went down the street he decided to put his new car through its paces and pushed the pedal to the floor. He was going faster than any other car on the road, and his protection detail had given up trying to follow him. All of a sudden, his car hit a puddle, and Hitler lost control. As he careened off the road, he narrowly missed hitting the Jewish man and instead ran into a building.
The Jewish man, seeing the car crash ran to the scene, and quickly freed Hitler, who had been trapped under his car. The instant he saw who it was, he gasped and took a step back.
Hitler, seeing the man who rescued him quickly went over and said “Thank you so much for saving my life! I don’t care if you are a Jew, you have rescued me and can have anything that you want, just name it!”
The man thought for a little while, and after a long pause said “Please, don’t tell anyone…”

Over and over again. It was impossible to stop it.
One day, the man heard through the grapevine that the Germans were coming to arrest him for owning such a rebellious bird.
So he swapped parrots with the local pastor, who had a much more docile avian.
When the Gestapo arrived, they started watching the parrot in order to get the treasonous tendencies confirmed.
The pastoral bird, however, just sat there, seemingly in quiet contemplation.
So the Germans decided they ought to give it a prompt.
One of them went up to the parrot and said: “Down.”
The bird said nothing. The German tried: “Down with.”The bird said nothing.
“Come on, bird, you know this: Down with.”
Still nothing.
The Germans looked at each other. They couldn’t arrest this man without knowing if the allegations were true. Or, they could, but it’d be rather bad manners. They needed to be sure. So they decided to say the whole line and see if the parrot repeated it.
One of them, a bit nervous, stated: “Down with Hitler.”
The parrot immediately perked up, and sang out: “Lord, hear our prayer!”
