"Messersmidt" joke

A veteran Polish Spitfire pilot from WW2 was interviewed on the BBC the other day.
BBC: Were you ever shot down during air combat?
Pole: Oh yes, a Fokker once shot my Spitfire to shreds, but I bailed out, and lived on to fight another day..
BBC: Was it a Focke-Wulf 190, one of the best German fighters ever produced?
Pole: Hell no, this Fokker was a Messersmidt..
