The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Donald Duck and Mickey Vs. Der Fuhrer

Check out http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke-45179.html

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."
