On D-day a B-25 was send flying as part of the hundreds of aircraft and gliders send that day. It got lost into the fog and the pilot just had time to think "if the altimeter readings are true, I'm the pilot of a submarine, rather than an aircraft" then he heard his co-pilot swearing and... realized they had just missed Big Ben by an hairbreadth.

"I want to change my name, because it is so humiliating."

April 30, 1945
Hitler is on the brink of despair in his bunker. And then he calls a young soldier and task him with a seemingly crazy mission.
"Find me a rabbi, I want to become a jew.
"Mein Fuhrer, are you sure...
"Do what I say otherwise I will get you shot
"all right
The poor guy desperately looks for a rabbi and by pure luck, found one. He brings the poor man near Hitler.
"Makes me into a jew
"I... I can't ...
"Do that immediately or I'll get you shot !"
"All right... " the poor rabbi improvise a ceremony and at the end, he says, trembling
"Now... now you are officially, a jew."
Hitler then takes his pistol, shouts "one less jew alive" and blast his brains into oblivion.
...
1934 Germany, Hitler visits a mental asylum. The director is proud but a little nervous. But the visit goes well, and thus he feels encouraged. He carries Hitler to a locked door, opens it, and says triumphantly "Look, Mein fuhrer ! All the men here thinks they are... you !"
And indeed the room is packed full with men in brown clothes, reading mein kampf, with yellow teeth, one testicle, shouting horrors on jews and the world, making the infamous salute, complete with the moustache, the hairdo... clones of Hitler, all of them.
And then, shit hits the fan.
As they see the real Hitler standing there, all the whackos shout
"AN IMPOSTOR SEIZE HIM TAKE HIM "
and they all attack and jump on the real Hitler... who gets lost among carbon copies of him.
Panick stricken, Goering shouts at them
"Who is the real Hitler ?
And of course all the whackos shout
"it's me, it's me, MEEEEEE ME ME ME an impostor
After one hour of confusion, the horrible truth settles: it is impossible to find the real Hitler among his clones.
The only solution is: to pick one at random.
Luckily, nobody ever saw the difference - from afar. Except Goering, who knew that the next day, that Hitler declared war to the Wallies...
