. . . comes a green-eyed master stroke of comic genius named - - Adolf Hitler (a.k.a., Der Fuhrer). At a time late in WWII--1944--when it was an open "secret" that this Charlie Chaplin look-alike had had his minions toss about half of the World's Jews into ovens, Hollywood's Jewish-run movie studios enjoyed presenting Mr. Hitler as being even funnier than The Tramp. For instance, as a goofy-looking Fuhrer rises here from the grave like some Biblical Messiah, he delivers this zany one-liner: "Nazis is the craziest people!" At this closing comment, all I could think was WWAFS (What would Anne Frank Say?). I personally lived through the 9-11 Era, but I do NOT recall ever viewing Osama bin Laden being the Toast of the Town in Springfield on THE SIMPSONS. Perhaps this is because, say what you will about him, Hitler was LESS likely to behead cartoonists than Freedom's current enemies. Possibly Hollywood is NOT exactly singing, "Hooray for Holocaust" in Russian RHAPSODY, but it's hard to believe that this cartoon was ever Politically Correct.

An animated short movie from Warner Brothers that mocks with Adolf Hitler must be funny. I was not disappointed, although it is not just funny, it is kind of creepy to see an animated Hitler on screen as well.Spoilers.Hitler wants to bomb Moscow and the only person suitable for the job, so he thinks, is Hitler himself. He flies a plane to Russia but on the way he has some trouble with the gremlins from the Kremlin. The way the little creatures mock with Hitler and send him to his grave is hilarious. There is also a short appearance by Stalin that is as funny as it is unexpected. A great short from Warner Brothers.

I mean it. This cartoon has the shock value of any cartoon (past or present--and by present, I mean the animated sitcoms such as "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy", which have done refs to Hitler, both caricatured and spoken) that isn't afraid to rip a new one into Hitler (which he deserves BTW) and the wackiness that can only come out of the twisted imagination of a Warner Bros. animator of yore (i.e., Bob Clampett). Everything about this cartoon freaks me out and makes me laugh, from the head-splitting rantings of Hitler (who makes references to Friz Freleng and "What's Cooking Doc") to the electrocution scene and the plane crash ending. Aside from the tripped-out Clampett-esque effects, I also like the "Gremlins From The Kremlin" song. Cartoon Network does air this one on occasion (but unfortunately, the print is one that cuts from Hitler screaming after being scared by a Joseph Stalin mask to a scene where he's semi-conscious and about to be dropped from the plane. I'm guessing that the original version will never see the light of day) and it's worth your time and money to get cable, a VCR, a video, and try to track this cartoon down.

This cartoon answers the question of what Hitler would order at a deli. In fact, Hitler's entire speech centers on the subject! Very funny! What an outstanding cartoon, with many references which people of my age won't understand. (I need to ask my dad about these things). Highly recommended.
