00:00:03.088 --> 00:00:06.503
In time of war, it's typical, sometimes 
even useful,

00:00:06.503 --> 00:00:08.467
to demonize your enemy.

00:00:08.467 --> 00:00:09.930
We still see this today, whenever a 
dictator or

00:00:09.930 --> 00:00:13.189
despot comes to power anywhere 
in the world.

00:00:13.189 --> 00:00:16.357
Caricatures and jokes, not always in 
the best of taste,

00:00:16.357 --> 00:00:20.041
rise to the forefront because it's our 
way of relieving aggression.

00:00:20.041 --> 00:00:22.258
So it was in WWII.

00:00:22.258 --> 00:00:25.904
Some people feared Adolf Hitler; others
mocked him.

00:00:25.904 --> 00:00:29.304
The Disney staff came up with the idea 
for a cartoon to be titled,

00:00:29.304 --> 00:00:33.328
<i>"Donald Duck in Nazi-Land,"</i> giving the 
all-American duck a nightmare

00:00:33.328 --> 00:00:36.162
that he was living in a country run by Nazis.

00:00:36.162 --> 00:00:39.855
The title changed, when a song written 
for the cartoon by Oliver Wallace,

00:00:39.855 --> 00:00:44.370
became a runaway hit In a now-classic 
recording by Spike Jones.

00:00:44.370 --> 00:00:47.358
It then became essential to change 
the name of the cartoon to,

00:00:47.358 --> 00:00:48.917
"Der Fuehrer's Face."

00:00:48.917 --> 00:00:51.596
It's easy to see why the film 
was so popular -

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:51.596 --> 00:00:53.796
It's very, very funny

00:00:53.796 --> 00:00:58.296
reducing the serious 
tenets of Hitler's Naziism to slapstick absurdities.

00:00:58.296 --> 00:01:01.960
And, it gave audiences a chance to think, 
as Donald does, about

00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:04.471
the freedoms they might have 
taken for granted.

00:01:04.601 --> 00:01:10.197
