* There is a whole genre of [[Russian Humor|Russian/Soviet jokes]] where the premise is the following: a boy accidentally discovers that his grandpa was a Nazi collaborator, and [[Hilarity Ensues]]. For example:

'''Boy:''' "In the Electrical Engineering Corps!"<br />

'''History teacher:''' "Did he tell you about his service?"<br />

* It becomes clear from some of his comments that Dwight's grandfather in ''[[The Office]]'' fought on the side of Germany during [[World War Two]] and was probably a war criminal and not just an average soldier.
