Reply to comment by silversurfer63 in TIL that British troops developed a diss song against Nazi leaders during World War II titled "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball." It was quickly picked up and sang by Allied troops. by collarpoppppppin
That's basically the same as what I learnt (dirty bugger vs filthy bugger, and chopped it off vs took the other)
Although there was another version I heard:
Hitler, he's only got one ball
Gorring's got two but rather small
Himmler, is very similar
And Goeball's got no balls at all!

This is the one I heard on the playground growing up in the American South in the 1970s.

It's the version presented by George Carlin. There might be an overlap there.

Ah! Good call. I didn’t know Carlin had done that bit.

This is the version I heard from my parents, both born in Glasgow during the war.
