"I think it hooks!"

I removed the following unreferenced section from the article. As a native speaker, I doubt the verifiability, it looks very much like a folksonomy; it has been removed from the original article at de.wikipedia.org for the same reason:

 The spread of the German saying, "Ich glaub, es hakt" - "I think it hooks," widespread towards the end of the Second World War, can be attributed to Wolfgang Haack. Originally, this was a mocking reference to the contradiction between the war propaganda-spread belief in a final victory with a miracle weapon, and personally experiencing the everyday grievances, the chaos and the undersupply. The proliferation of the use of the phrase by Front soldiers, occurred when rumours about a new type of projectile so greatly contrasted with the regularity of misfires due to defectively manufactured projectiles. The fact that the original phrase, "I think it haackt" was alleged to fix it, had rapid proliferation.
 However, though the context of ironic allusion of the correct spelling was lost early on, shortly after the start of the purchase of the Berlin Zuse a 1958 computer in his group, the erroneous reading of punch cards became known as "haacken."
