My parents told me that Winston Churchill, during WWII, used to deliberately pronounce Nazi as Naahzi, despite knowing perfectly well what is should sound like - same reason, no doubt.
And my mother would chat for hours about Italian food, Italian opera, Italian holidays etc but when the topic of WWII and Mussolini and the gang came up, she (quite without realising what she was doing) used the version: Eyetalian.
