I heard about one other Hitler joke that didn't go so well.
Early days, probably 1922 or so, Hitler had a vehicle that he was very proud of, particularly its speed.
There was some discussion about the merits of another persons vehicle vs his, and a bet was made that, even with a 5 minute head start, Hitler could beat the other vehicle to the next town.
These 2, and I forgot who they were, accepted, and took off down the road, out of sight.
They shortly pulled over behind some foliage and, sure enough, there goes Hitler 5 minutes later, racing by.
Hitler of course was expecting to catch up with these guys any minute, and he never did, because they were behind him.
When the guys came to town and explained their little joke, Hitler was not in the least amused, and were instantly sorry that they decided to test the budding Führer's sense of humor ,, Or lack thereof.
