Der Fuehrer's Face
Der Fuehrer's Face © Disney

Donald is a German worker drone in World War II: forced to exist on pitiful rations of wooden bread, a single coffee bean and the aroma of ham and eggs. After eating his meager breakfast, he is marched to work at gunpoint to work a long 48 hour day in a munitions factory under watchful, armed supervision, screwing the tops on artillery shells, all the while saluting passing images of his ‘beloved’ leader.
