''"[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpYO0YVUuPw Der Fuehrer's Face]"'' is a [[The Golden Age of Animation|1943]] animated cartoon by the [[Walt Disney]] Studios, starring [[Donald Duck]]. It was directed by Jack Kinney and released on January 1, 1943, as an anti-Nazi propaganda movie for the American war effort.
The short depicts Donald as a oppressed citizen of "Nutzi Land", [[The Theme Park Version]] of war-time Germany where almost everything is shaped like a swastika or an allusion to Hitler. He soon finds himself forced to work [[Beyond
The film won the 1943 [[Academy Award]] for Animated Short Film, and was the only Donald Duck cartoon to win an Oscar. In 1994, it was voted #22 of "[[The 50 Greatest Cartoons]]" of all time by members of the animation field.

* [[All Just a Dream]]
* [[Black Market Produce]]: As a citizen of [[Nazi Germany]], [[Donald Duck]]'s breakfast consists of wooden bread, aroma of bacon and eggs, and coffee from a single bean he keeps locked in a safe.
Line 17:
* [[Camp Gay]]: Just watch the Hermann-Göring-clone swing his hips when he sings about Nazi "super-''duper'' Supermen!" (And those eyelashes...)
* [[Curse Cut Short]]: Part of the song goes, "Ven der Fuehrer yells, 'I gotta have more shells!'/Ve 'Heil! Heil!' For him, ve make more shells./If one leetle shell should blow him right to-- *CLANG!* (Donald bumps into a much bigger bomb)/Ve 'Heil! Heil!' And vouldn't that be svell?"
* [[
* [[Facial Profiling]]: Far more offensive than the Nazi imagery (but garnering far less attention these days) is the incredibly racist caricature of the then-Japanese Emperor, Hirohito. This was standard in wartime cartoons, of course.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: At one point, an exasperated Donald Duck says, "Hell" instead of "Heil."

** Donald having to saw the bread is actually a reference to the fact that back then sawdust was put into the bread to save flour.
* [[Improvised Clothes]]: Donald's Nazi uniform is made of ''paper''.
* [[No Except Yes]]: This line happens as Donald has 2 bayonets against him as he is walking into a factory:
* [[No Swastikas]]: Averted. EVERYTHING in this cartoon has a swastika on it, including a fire hydrant, a telephone pole, and one soldier's underwear. ▼
