  • Surround them.....hahahahahahaha

  • wow lol i never knew how racist old cartoons were lol...

  • @telekinovice Ummmm... It was propoganda during WW2. We wanted to get people (mainly young kids) to think that the Japanese were the bad guys. ALL of them. As in when he says tradition to shoot in the back. Its not just mindless racism.

  • End:Hahaha

  • i dont now about you other guys but i liked that.

  • hmmm....sure, it was WWII, but it is still kind of sad to see from today's point of view that Disney cartoon characters were (mis)used for war propaganda. And it's really ironic that Donald Duck (and Mickey Mouse) became quite popular in Japan and Germany after WWII, considering all the anti-Japanese and anti-German propaganda that was made back then by Disney.

  • I never thought that I'd hear donald duck yell SNIPERS!

  • How can they make anti-nazi shorts if the nazis never came to the united states?

  • @Ihartwalrusguy They can make whatever they want to?

  • one man army ftw!!!!!

    

  • this is back win people actualy loves are solders and cartunes such as that werent for pussies

  • Wow, it's a shame that the new Disney is so crappy in comparison. 

  • Ironically, the subtitles are in German lol

  • That's not a lifeboat. That's a destroyer-boat.

  • he was also a nazi? wtf?

    

  • Donald Duck has always gone "Commando"

  • Imagine something like this nowadays. Donald duck parachutes into Afghanistan. It'd be weird thats for sure.

  • @imjusthereish You wrote "weird" instead of "awesome".

  • HARRO PREASE!!

  • He was trained by Chuck Norris

  • hes guns just spawn out of no were lol

  • Who sends a duck to go fight in a war?

  • Private soldier Donald Duck. Never thought I'd see this

  • also, there are no crocodiles in Japan

  • @skyhawk431 Who said this was set in Japan? Could be in like the Philippines.

  • @DDawg45 Yeah you're right. Sorry.

  • @DDawg45 or the Solomons in the South Pacific!!

  • Comment removed

  • @DDawg45

    he says japanese custom.....so.....idk

  • @jojohernandez14 Could be japanese people in the philipines ;)

    Also it's the japanese flag

  • @skyhawk431 the us.army didn´t land on japan, japan occupied isles in the pacific. this should be a pacific isle. but you are right. there aren´t crocodiles.

  • @skyhawk431 the americans dont were in japan. for their luck they dropped the atomic bomb over hiroshima an nagasaci.

  • how is this any different from the Nazis propeganda!

  • we should of fight against japan, because today, japan had a earthquake! DONATE TO JAPAN!!!!

  • where did brutality, war and destruction go concerning cartoons :S

  • Isn't it funny, that while we cling to the negative propaganda image of the Germans of WWII, we are very quick to condemn the depiction of the Japanese of the same era, as racist?

  • @cinematicswede

    The Germans was a superpower, they had resources, power and weapons. The Japanese was a developing nation. They were in desperate need for supplies, and therefore joined the axelmacht. Their behavior can be justified to some extent. They had nothing against the jews, or the blacks for that matter. They just tried to gain the benefits of a strong ally. There's a difference between the selfish/cruel and the poor/desperate.

  • @TheFacelessActivist No do your research, the japanese treated their POWs like crap and used civilians as live target practice infected them with plague and amputated them just to see the effects, gased them, raped women and murdered children they also maimed and tortured POWs and killed them just for fun they hated the chinese and other asian countries, they thought they were supiriour to every one else. none of their actions can be justified, they were as evil as the germans in WWII.

  • @imtheaZtEcQuEeN104

    America did those things too, look at Agent Orange, for example. Or how they still use Nazi execution methods based on Nazi human experiments conducted by Nazi Physician and war criminal Dr. Karl Brandt. Or how they kill people all the time with firing squads. The Japanese had a good excuse: They were undeveloped and even uncivilized at the time. What's Germany and America's excuse? America still uses those things, at least the other guys quit after a while...

  • @TheFacelessActivist If the Japanese weren't cruel then explain the rape of Nanking where the Japanese responded to Chinese resistance by publicly dragging innocent Chinese civilians out of homes and hacking them to pieces with katanas. Yeah my car is out of gas so ill just drag my neighbor out of their house and start hacking them to pieces with a sword.am I cruel? psh NO im just desperate for some gas thats all.

  • @fordestonto

    How is that different from America? The rape of Nanking, what about the holocaust of Hiroshima? What about you guys putting innocent American citizens in concentration camps based on racial backgrounds? What about how you're currently torturing captives who were sentenced without a trial in Cuban torture camps? What about the My Lai Massacre? Agent orange?

    I know the Japanese did some bad things, but were they worse? In short: Not really.

  • @TheFacelessActivist You are factually incorrect on most of what you are speaking about. Read a history book and then come back to me.

  • @trottheblackdog

    Who needs history books when you can do perfectly fine independent research? History books are influenced by the culture it derrives from. An American history book will say the Japanese are bad, a Japanese history book will say the Americans were bad.

    But in short: They were both bad, and tries to keep their own crimes under wraps. So maybe you should stop spewing impeached nationalist bullshit and leave history to people who are a bit more objective.

  • @TheFacelessActivist While I don't have the time to dispute every point, I would like to correct one point in particular: Americans never used concentration camps. A concentration camp would be what they did at Auschwitz in Germany: where prisoners are treated harshly and sometimes executed via gas chambers and such. You are most likely referring to Japanese interment camps, which were in short areas designed to isolate Japanese citizens during WWII. Please keep the two terms separate.

  • @notgonnasay09

    Actually, the first concentration camp was invented in 1830 and was used by French colonials. The term simply refers to "Concentration", is in: "Racial Concentration". Not a single white guy was in those camps besides the ones with rifles who just assumed all Japanese were nothing more than a bunch of lousy traitors. Even though the real traitors were the Americans who betrayed their own citizens.

    I'm afraid your erroneous yapping isn't exactly backed up with historical facts.

  • @TheFacelessActivist I was not referring to the specific history of "concentration camps" in my comment; I was referencing the fact that you grouped concentration camps and interment camps into the same category without distinction. Believe me, if you told people that the experience of the Jews in concentration camps in Germany was the same as the experience of Japanese-Americans in interment camps in the US, I would be willing to bet that people would look at you funny or would be upset.

  • @notgonnasay09

    A concentration camp by definition is a makeshift prison for innocent people, administered by racists.

    I used the term in a perfect context.

    Now, if you had your freedom taken away by people that you trusted, and spent several years at gunpoint because of the color of your skin whilst your home and business deteriorate: Do you honestly think you'll go through that thinking it's a good thing? They would applaud me for my empathy.

    What's wrong with you? How can you justify it?

  • @TheFacelessActivist I am not justifying the actions of the US during WWII in response to their citizens; I am saying that to say that the Jewish experience in Nazi Germany was the same as the Japanese experience in the United States is incredibly insensitive. Last time I checked, we didn't use furnaces to burn Japanese-Americans alive, or use gas chambers to execute men, women, and children in those camps.

    Are both evil? Oh, hell yes. Are they both the same thing? Oh, hell no.

  • @notgonnasay09

    The Nazi concentration camps isn't a stereotype volumetrically speaking. Most concentration camps throughout history looked like they did in the states. Most of them are about treating people like animals, however the Nazis took it one step further and treated people like animals on their way to a sausage factory... Although, I wouldn't call that a Jewish experience, it hardly does any justice to all the other people who died there, like all those brave Ukrainian insurgents.

  • @TheFacelessActivist Except we were not talking about other concentration camps; we were discussing the difference between Japanese internment and Jewish concentration. I will not say that it was an exclusively Jewish experience for those in Nazi Germany, but to group America with Nazi Germany in response to how we treated prisoners is not kosher, so to speak. I am saying that we were bad, and what we did was wrong - it just wasn't on the same level.

  • @notgonnasay09

    I never grouped them, I simply used the correct word to describe said institute. You were the one who pulled conclusions. Which means that your own mind is to blame for how you coupled them with the Nazis. I coupled it with the concentration camps, which has very little to do with the Nazis, it has been used by all the oppressive countries out there: America, Soviet Russia, Britain and I also think China did it at some point. Only Nazi Germany decided to shoot their prisoners.

  • @TheFacelessActivist Except the way you phrased the response grouped them together. Let me put this in a way that will calm me down without coming across as pretentious: my problem was with using "concentration camps" for Japanese internment. Internment camps and concentration camps are not the same thing. That is what I am trying to get across. I was arguing with your word choice, not your opinion or your world view. Please do not assume that I am ignorant for trying to keep the two apart.

  • @notgonnasay09

    It was a concentration camp when the British and French did the exact same thing as America. The word "Internment Camp" is a political phrase made up by Eisenhower to whitewash the whole principal. That's why it's so important to never use that word, it insults the people who were sent there in the name of political prestige.

    Now, I did lay it on a bit thicker than I should have in the debate I had, I do that with nationalists, but don't worry: That was purely to offend them.

  • @TheFacelessActivist Then let me end by saying this: I will agree that all people, not just Americans, need to look at history with as much of an objective view as we can manage - we are human after all. However, we must also be aware that, the moment we pass judgement on what other people have done and start drawing our own conclusions like what the both of us have done throughout this debate, we stop being objective and start being judgmental. Nice dialouge.

  • @notgonnasay09

    Fair enough, I like your style now that you've elaborated. I just mistook you at first for one of those fellas who reads the second amendment like a cheap novel, whilst screwing the first one like a cheap hooker. Who applauds at Semper Fidelis, but denies E Plubris Unum, who'd wear gray at the the battle of Gettysburg, fighting for the idea that America was painted by Norman Rockwell. A yankee-doodle dumbass, if you will.

    Sorry about that.

  • @TheFacelessActivist No problem. Yeah, I might be conservative, but that doesn't mean that I am so pig-headed to believe that America can do no wrong; we have and can screw up and do some horrendous things just as much as anyone else.

  • @notgonnasay09

    Yeah, my homeland supported the Nazis, that kinda sickens me. But, I can admit it. If I didn't: I'd be a Nazi myself.

    Now, you seem like one of those "If it's not broken, why fix it?"-conservatives, which makes sense, it's a great principal. I know some pseudo-conservatives (or possibly neo-confederates) make you look bad, but that's alright: The Kremlin made us Marxists look pretty bad too, even though they misunderstood the whole idea.

  • @TheFacelessActivist Yeah, I'm more of the kind of individual that lets others worry about the politics of an issue and just says my opinion.

  • @cinematicswede Most of the negative propaganda was pointed at Hitler and the Nazis, not the Germans as a people. And him and those folks deserve every negative image they get. And while Americans have been racist, we have come a long way. But the Japanese of today are among the most racist modern cultures in the world still.

  • @trottheblackdog how can they be racist when there are american military bases in japan, with soldiers raping little girls everyday and getting off scot-free.

  • whatever company made that lifeboat should be in the condom industry....

  • @echo4760 It looks like a giant condom. Hahahahaha.

  • german subtilte..... ? so this was show'n in german to ? lol

  • well I am japanese so well this is pretty offensive. Still good vid. By the way prease to disney assholes.

  • Young Indiana Jones would have loved watching this one.

  • two

  • happy cherry brossoms to you preez

  • how the hell can you not tell its the japense? first off its gungle terrain, 2nd the enamy soldiers bow, they have asian accents, theres the red sun in the ending with all the planes destroyed, the base has a red sun on it, the one soldier looks japenese, and there JAPANESE!!!

  • Stupendo!!! ;D I'm italian and I truly love Donald Duck ("Paperino" in italian), but I had never watched this toon! ^^

  • subtitles are in german XD hahahahaha i love this

  • Damn, cartoons were some much more funny back when they could be racist without people thinking it will automatically turn a kid into an asianhating skinhead who spends his time injecting heroin whilst beating immigrants to death with a baseball bat.

    It's just a cartoon, and Sara Pahlin should be elected for firewood.

  • @TheFacelessActivist

    Dude, serious? Yeah this is pretty hilarious, but that isn't the point.

    If you really think this is 'just a cartoon', you have some serious studying to do.

    This was not just a cartoon. It was fucking propaganda at its finest. Do you really think a child who grew up watching cartoons like this is going to view the Japanese in a positive aspect? Of course not. America was at war with Japan when this was broadcast. Dehumanizing the enemy is second nature in conflict.

  • @PrinceofCats999

    The japaneese did the same thing, only without cartoons, which makes them worse. I'd say you're the one that needs studying. But yeah, propaganda in a democratic nation normally comes with skeptisism, kids tends to think the opposuite of what they're told at some point, so it gave them more kudos than ever once the war was over.

    Media on that level can never, and I mean never form a person's mind, just pick up a medical journal for crying out loud, you make hippies look bad.

  • @TheFacelessActivist

    I never said the Japanese DIDN'T spread propaganda. If you read my last sentence, you will know that I said this applies to ALL conflict. Why don't you learn how to read?

    Also, I'm not a hippie, I merely stated a fact. I'm surprised you didn't cover this in high school. I thought this information was pretty elementary.

    There are hundreds of essays dedicated to dehumanization and propaganda at a national level. Have fun trying to prove me wrong.

  • @PrinceofCats999

    Ah, so.... You're skeptic over how someone did something both sides did? Or was it just the mere fact that I enjoyed a cartoon because of that it was back before a bunch of republican jackasses ruined common media with oversensitive laws that dumbs down the future generation, so there's no need for propaganda in the first place, since they will just belive anything said to them...

    Gee, must be a bummer living life with that attitude. All the best to you, though.

  • @TheFacelessActivist

    What? No, I am perfectly fine with this cartoon. I even downloaded it onto my iPod. Your initial comment just left too many holes for me to simply ignore. If you're going to post opinions on the net, you should always do so with the knowledge that you will be receiving criticism.

    But whatever floats your boat. Peace, and have a nice day.

  • @PrinceofCats999

    Ah, now I get it, you're the thought-police. Well, officer, thanks for letting me off with a warning.

  • @TheFacelessActivist Relax it is just a cartoon...

  • @DDawg45

    I was just saying how I enjoyed it, the other guy started it. Might wanna tell him.

  • @TheFacelessActivist

    *Sigh* You clearly don't even know who the thought-police are or what they do. I suggest you read the book again.

    But what am I doing? Clearly I shouldn't be wasting my time with the likes of you. Sorry, I'll try to make this my last post.

  • @PrinceofCats999

    Sorry, your highness. I do get that peasant stock such as myself takes up your valueable time far too much. I do hope you can accept my most cincere apology, I'll try to exsist around the superiour likes of you from now on.

    No, really, I shall immediatley send a courier with a letter to my parents, saying they failed bringing me up due to that I disrupted the harmonial tranquility that is the garden of your allmighty turbulance.

  • I thought ducks can fly

  • haha the japs made awesome cartoon characters.

  • lol, infinite-inflatable boat, ACME xD

  • I find it strange how Donald is the protagonist in almost all of the propaganda films

  • @Fredfredbug4 Think of it, between goody two-shoes Mickey, innocent life-lovin' Goofy, and the explosive rage-a-holic Donald Duck, who would be a better protagonist for Army films?

  • @mamamuas I guess your right. It makes a bit more sense when you look at it that way. Though goofy is known for screwing things up so bad it actually turns around. I always thought a film were Goofy is a terrible soldier but his massive failure sets of a chain reaction that causes Goofy to win a battle for the allies.

  • @Fredfredbug4 That would work pretty good, actually! In fact, now that you bring it up, there indeed were plans for at least 2 War-themed Goofy shorts, that for one reason or another, never became fully-conceived shorts. Check 'em out here, in the 1940 part. EDIT: I can't copy and paste the link here, but go to Google and type "Disney unmade shorts", then click on the first result.

  • @mamamuas Thanks! That's a pretty cool website. I think the Goofy training video would of definitely been a laugh.

  • Man bekommt schließlich nicht mehr viel Chancen legendäre Cartoons anzuschauen. Vor allem heutzutage da die Disney abteilungen in Videotheken hauptsächlich nur mit Hanna Montanna gefüllt sind. So ein Mist verkauft sich eben heutzutage. Qualtitätsproduktionen haben heutzutage keinen Chance mehr (auch in der Musik so). Kann man ja sehen wenn man erschreckend feststellt wenn ein Justin Bieber video

    über eine viertel Milliarde (!) 290 000 000 Aufrufe hat.

    R.I.P. Walt Disney

    Donald Duck = legend.

  • You gotta love old-school cartoons for their originality and innovative influences. Even to this day, they continue to serve as an inspiration for some people. And I'm one of them.

  • @MDthornton83 An inspiration for racism? Quel idiot....

  • @Horrorlord1 I wasn't talking about racism. And I'm not an idiot thank you very much. Punk.

  • @MDthornton83 Lol people it is just a cartoon chill =)

  • @DDawg45 Tell that to the person getting on my ass about it.

  • You can hardly blame Disney for making an anit-Japanese propaganda picture during WWII. However, it is much more questionable that they released this picture on family video tapes as late as the 1990s. After some 50 years, they should have been past racist stereotypes.

  • how very racist

  • And now we have Mickeys playhouse

  • "Always shoot man in the back" "Oh, thank you"

    "Damn mosquitos"

  • in german

  • Good ol' Private Duck. I don't know how he does it but god damn it, he gets things DONE.

  • so racist but so funny srry all of you Japaneses people it was the timing of when this movie this movie was made soooooooooooooooo srry

  • nazis

  • 2:12 to 2:20 crazy people

  • I havent seen this since i was a little kid, which was 20 odd years ago. When i think back, i dont remember any of the tongue n cheek commentry from the Japanese Soldiers and their camp being washed out. It was edited out.

  • its not racist it was made durining the war it was war propaganda not racism that video was not meant to be show thease days now that the war is over

  • Hello prease

  • stupid!

  • RACIST!

  • @Hypercube619 well duhhh it was meant to demoralize the japs

  • @freereg29 Yea, I know. LOL

  • @Hypercube619 lol you replied to something i replied on over 1 year ago :D

  • @Hypercube619 IKR! LOL! I'm still alive!

  • LOL, at 3:04 Donald shouts " Snipers!" They aren`t very accurate for snipers :DD

  • :D Pretty flexible rubber boat.

  • "Ok, here he coming, time to shooting now please I hope!"

  • Hey Donald should've taught this method to the RAF "Dambuster's" Squadron.

  • Japanese

  • @DDawg45

    Obwol es ziemlich bizarr ist mit Kriegsszenen....

  • @ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 gibt doch auch einen wo er in ner deutschen munitionsfabrik arbeitet... heißt sogar irgendwas mit "der fuhrer" :)

  • @suckerprod

    Ganz Genau!! :-) Und da kommt nicht nur ne Munitionsfabrik zu Vorschein...

    Diese Disney Episode die du meinst heiße "The Führers Face". Kannst auf YouTube überall finden. In der ganzen Episode geht es nur um Hitler, Hakenkreuze, 2. Weltkrieg...usw. Man sieht Donald dauernd "Heil Hitler" rufen, Fliegerbomben basteln und marschieren. Dies war eine erst Produzierte Folge von Disney in der Krigszeit um auf Hitler zu parodieren...ziemlich bizarr musst du dir anschauen !!

  • @yousuck785why Poor poor man.

  • @yousuck785why wow your really stupid arnt you?

  • @yousuck785why Are you mentally retarded?

  • @yousuck785why U NEED MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION!!!!!!

  • LoL the plane in 6:22 is just like a chicken

  • jwh30385 -give me a break, and conngib8, do you not get it?

  • Ah so japanese custom say always shooting man in the back prease!

  • Heh, I laughed at that part. It's horribly racist and insensitive, but still worth a chuckle. Not that it's racist, just that this stuff is never seen.

  • LOL TAKE THAT !!!

  • do they think japanese are same as chinese or sth? The two countries are totally different in everyways.

  • as a huge fan of disney, especially older donald duck cartoons, this cartoon disappointed me. it's war propaganda, not a children's cartoon.. funny how this was made in a time when nudity or sexuality of any nature was forbidden on tv, but praising war on a kid's sow was just fine..

  • Not exactly shown to children. Back then, no one had a television, video entertainment was done at theaters'. What theaters also had were "Nickelodeon's" at a cost of , well, a nickel. Videos like the Donald one above were aften shown right before the featured film, so these "war films" were generally shown to a predominately adult audience.

  • i love war toons wether their disney or looney tunes

    but these cartoons wernt ment for kids to see

    they were made to entertain soldiers over seas =]

  • well in that case, i apologize! ;)

  • @jwh30385 Theres also another war propaganda where donald dreams about being a nazi, its truly creepy

  • This cartoon was made extremely well and I loved watching it, but the message of the cartoon and Donald's evil laugh at the end kinda ruined it for me.

  • damn american propaganda donald :D

  • don't you just love old cartoons? :DD

  • Yes that could be quite fatal but remember: Its Donald Duck

  • people dont be offended this was not a PC era cartoon.

  • pfft, politically correct? who needs it? lol :P

  • bei 3:18 ist plötzlich der rucksack wieder im boot. war wohl zu faul den vorher in der schießerei ständig zu zeichnen

  • lol nazis will see what we did in the war =)

  • that's the whole point!!

  • Herro Prease! lol! Anti jap propaganda! awesome

  • ah poor donald :D

  • I love Donald Duck ! He goes like "Yes....S-S-Sir..."

  • Very nice!

  • 1 thing 2 say why not use that guns knife 2 burst it

  • I love that part too!

  • I laughed so hard about the shooting in the back part.

  • @kingbobnjoe Japanese Custom! XD

  • Anti-WWII Japanese propaganda, has a lot of historical value! I'm not trying to offend the Japanese, just referring to the Japanese of the past, NOT NOW. There is a big difference.

  • surround them... lil bit propaganda, hu? only shot him in the back xD But hey, i love it xD XD

  • must be mosqito hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah AHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • lol

  • Lol, you are to surround them and wipe them out (by yourself).

  • Happy Cherry Blossoms to You

  • Good ol' racism. :D That's WWII for ya.

  • that is everything pre-1960 not just WWII
