hhhmmmm... all I know is this one.

A U.S. and Russian General are discussing troops rations. The Russian says "Every day, each soldier consumes 1500 Calories". "Oh yeah?" says the American, "Well our troops consume 3000 Calories a day". "This is not possible", replies the Russian, "How can one man eat entire sack of potatoes?"

The Russians were so frustrated by the delays with the Second Front, so they called the canned meat as "Second Front".
So, each time they were "opening the Second front"

Your turn!

Which large German military ship was launched before WW2 but never saw any action, being scuttled just before the end of the war.

It was re-floated and used as target practise by the Russians, but refused to be sunk by gunfire eventually being sunk by torpedo's.

And the Russians had tried to finish the ship's construction and incorporate her into the Soviet Navy, but they couldn't find a facility big enough...
