How long until Hitler/Nazis become a joke?

Say Hitler, after realizing that the French and Brits won't back down on Poland, relents on his intentions for war and sits back on his conquests up to 1939.

How many years until the regime and all its propaganda and rhetoric become a joke to the German people?

(i.e Soviet propaganda in 70s and 80s)

The jokes started on day one.

"Lieber Gott, mach mich blind, dass ich Göbbels arisch find."

Making fun about Göbbels and many other Nazi party members not looking very arian.
 
Check out the book Dead Funny, which is about humor in Nazi Germany. The book also examines what the jokes say about who knew what about what was going on in the East. It goes off topic a bit at points to shame the German people (less in an academic way and more in an obligatory way), but it's an intriguing look at how humor was created and shared during the Third Reich.
