Reminds me of something I heard on a phone in on the radio a while back.
A old dear was talking about a German POW who worked on their farm towards the end of WW2.
"He was such a lovely polite lad and worked really hard. He even helped us with the garden around the farmhouse. Everyone was really sad when he left to go home and we packed him off with food and presents.
Next spring when the daffodils flowered in the garden they spelt Heil Hitler".
