I'd have to disagree with you there. It is pretty obviously a joke based on the (obviously false) premise that frustrated Germans are more predisposed to fascism than any other national group. It's tolerable because it's at worst a joke at the expense of people of equal status and power to the perpetrator of the joke.
It's not a great joke, it's not a particularly offensive one, but we should at least recognise it for what it is; an unprovoked attack on the civilian population of Germany. On the other hand...

Well, I'd have to disagree with you there.
We've already established that Hitler, is not in fact German. And, we've had a self-employed German artist state that he didn't believe it was a slur upon the German people. These things speak for themselves.
Also, as someone who has been self-employed and an artist, I find the lions share of the humour lies for me personally, in the surreal fact of history that before Hitler became a genocidal war-monger was in fact a frustrated artist.
So, again, the joke is at the expense of primarily, Hitler, and secondly, frustrated artists, and thirdly, relating both of these to our current virus-induced predicament.
On the other hand, your lame joke at the end is in fact a lame joke about German military tactics so...

No, because it specifically relates to ADOLF HITLER. Not the nation of Germany, who were also victim to his mental tendencies to wage total war and exterminate minorities.
