''"[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 Thethe Impossible|48 hours every day]] to produce shells for the Fuehrer's war effort. Eventually he goes mad from stress, only to wake up home in America, relieved that his previous experience was [[All Just a Dream]].
 
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.
