Gibberish translation thread

A user on YouTube made a video that added a literal English translation of what was being said in one of Hitler's rants in the film downfall. They range from hilarious to wired and I can make make sense of most of them, but some make me wonder what is being said. For example...

"Ass for an UNCLE whore, who're a- knocking, who can fudge and fuck in."

... what does that mean?

perhaps his German isn't as good as he thinks?

I've watched a number of Hitler speeches "as filmed" - they can be/are very difficult to follow. #1 the language/syntax/vocabulary used is archaic - and #2 the quality of the record and crowd noise is a big factor. not many written transcripts exist of his rants and raves - those that do exist I'm pretty sure Goebbels would have "edited for effect."

just reading Hitler's original text in Mein Kampf is a struggle for anyone born after the war. the language changed, and the younger you are the more "say whot?" happens.
