Not only were US forces fighting the Nazi's, but Walt Disney as well.
"Donald gets Drafted"
"Private Pluto"
Der Fuhrer's Face"
Nutzi Land"
"Blitz Wolf"
Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse did not just entertain during the war, but they also spread anti-enemy propaganda and educated Americans about our enemies.
"Der Fuhrer's Face" was an Oscar-nominated short film in 1943.
I imagine that had we lost, Walt Disney's life might have been in danger.
There was also a 1943 film "Education for Death: The Making of the Nazi Dictators: Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito."

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
