Saturday Morning Cartoons--Spinach Fer Britain

I found this interesting little Popeye wartime cartoon Spinach Fer Britain. In this 1943 cartoon, our spinach-eating sailor is delivering to Great Britain a shipment of--you guessed it--spinach! Along the way, Popeye accidentally rams into a Nazi German submarine manned by Hitler look-a-likes. This is an interesting cartoon since it involves only Popeye, and does not include either Olive Oil or Bluto. But still, it does show that Popeye himself was involved in the war effort to keep Americans in their fighting spirit. From YouTube:
