Spies

Spies is part of the Private Snafu series of animated shorts produced by Warner Brothers during World War II. Released in 1943, the cartoon was directed by Chuck Jones and features the vocal talents of Mel Blanc.

Plot
Private Snafu has learned a secret, but the enemy is listening and he'd better zipper his lip. However, Snafu - little by little - lets slip his secret: His ship is about to set sail for Africa at 4:30. The information is picked up by spies and quickly relayed to Adolf Hitler, who orders the Nazis to attack the American fleet - which they do. Snafu just notices the U-boats in time and yells for the ship to go full speed ahead, although it came at the cost of him falling overboard and literally blown to hell by U-Boat torpedoes. After arriving in Hell, Snafu angrily demands who let his secret out, only for Hitler and his staff as Satan and various demons to reveal that he is the leak. Hitler then shows Snafu a mirror that changes his reflection into a horse's behind.

A scene in which Private Snafu becomes drunk is musically accompanied by an excerpt from Raymond Scott's composition, Powerhouse.

Trivia

 * This film was used in the World War II exhibit of the International Spy Museum.
 * Besides Adolf Hitler himself, several other real life Axis Powers figures were stereotyped in the cartoon:
 * Benito Mussolini, Hermann Wilhelm Göring, and Hideki Tojo made a cameo in the scene where they were disguised as civilians reading Lyfe, Gollier's, and Fiberty with their faces on the cover in an obvious attempt to eavesdrop on Private Snafu (and thus learning he's going by ship), the magazines being parodies of "Life," ____, and "Liberty", real magazines that were in circulation around the time of World War II.
