A British animation, this one, that starts with the stork noticing a peculiar odour from the last of her deliveries one morning. Dropping it quickly, we see a fully Nazi-uniformed baby Adolf land in the living room of a house before it proceeds to walk, with accompanying geese, through Europe. Along the way we meet his two friends - one from Italy, the other from Japan, before a bloodied nose in Russia and an array of opposing flags confirms his inevitable and violent defeat. The narration is set to rhyme and at times is quite pithy as it ridicules the personalities, philosophies and politics of these three ambitious and evil men. The Hilter "puppet" looks especially accurate with the stop-motion work providing quite an entertaining piece of wartime Axis-bashing.
A marching band of Germans, Italians, and Japanese march through the streets of swastika-motif Nutziland, serenading "Der Fuehrer's Face." Donald Duck, not living in the region by choice, struggles to make do with disgusting Nazi food rations and then with his day of toil at a Nazi artillery factory. After a nervous breakdown, Donald awakens to find that his experience was in fact a nightmare.
It's a peaceful day at the local poultry farm until Foxy Loxy happens along intent on a chicken dinner.

Chicken Little spreads the word but when head man Cocky Locky proves the story to be false, Foxy Loxy spreads rumors that Cocky Locky isn't the smart chicken he appears to be, which leads to the ultimate undoing of the chickens at the hands of Foxy Loxy.
Yet another variation on the Three Little Pigs theme, this time told as WW2 anti-German propaganda (the US had just entered the war), with the wolf as a thinly-disguised Hitler.
