WWII Propaganda

Der Fuehrer's Face was created by Disney in 1943 is stars Donald Duck. It won the Academy Award for Animated Short Film in 1943. This short film depicts Nazi Germany in the worst light possible and as any American's nightmare. The food is horrid, they are constantly "Heil"ing and Donald works 48 hous shifts.

This film is shocking. I never thought anything so innocent could be turned into such blatant propaganda. They obviously are over exaggerating everything. and making Nazi Germany look the worst possible in the American eye.



WWII Nurses

In this picture is Eileen Driscoll with her WRAF colleagues this picture was taken between 1943 and 1946 Eileen was part of a team of Women's Royal Air Force who treated injured servicemen while they were being flown home from the front line.

I really like this picture it shows happy women who did something productive to support the war efforts for their country. I love seeing evidence of feminine supports in that time period.


The Vilification of Enemy Leadership in WWII

Herbert A. Friedman is the artist of this piece. It pictures

Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Emperor Hirohito of the axis powers. This picture makes the axis powers look very evil and not like someone anyone would ally with. The date is unknown but it was surly during WWII.


In seeing this it almost makes me pity the men depicted. I mean yes, they're horrible people but this is scary. I would hate to be them.
