This is a fascinating cartoon. According to Wikipedia, Der Fuehrer's Face is a 1942 animated cartoon, produced by Walt Disney Studios, which stars Donald Duck as a Nazi working in a munitions factory for the German war effort. The cartoon was directed by Jack Kinney and released on January 1, 1943. Der Fuehrer's Face won the 1943 Academy Award for Animated Short Film. In addition, the cartoon was voted number 22 of the 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time. So here is a little Walt Disney propaganda from the Second World War. From YouTube:
Damn you Disney! I'm finding myself humming song in the back reaches of my mind!
