Cartoons were also a great medium to get the message across. The one featured below, "The Ducktators", is from 1942 and tells the story of three "ducktators" - i.e. Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo. The parody is spot on, and though by today's standards, some of it could be considered racist, it is definitely a product of its time.
Enjoy.

How did I just learn about your website??? Anyways, I follow you on Pinterest and love your pins!
Hi Samantha! Thanks for stopping by. Glad you enjoy the pins - it's addicting, that's for sure! :)
Ahhh propaganda Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck! I was looking at some of these on YouTube a week or so ago but did not watch this one. It's a good quality compared to others. You're right that these were definitively a product of the time!
gotta show this one to the kids. GREAT stuff. Thank you. My son just received a lot of War memorabilia from his grandfather, he will love this.
