Private Snafu imagines the good times his family is having back home while he's stationed in the Arctic. Technical Fairy First Class shows that even his family is helping with the war effort - his dad building tanks, his mom planting a Victory Garden, Grandpa riveting battleships, and his girl joining the WAC's and even the family's horse is pitching in.
This is one of 26 Private SNAFU ('Situation Normal, All Fouled Up) cartoons made by the US Army Signal Corps to educate and boost the morale the troops. Originally created by Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and Phil Eastman, most of the cartoons were produced by Warner Brothers Animation Studios - employing their animators, voice actors (primarily Mel Blanc) and Carl Stalling's music.

"So cold it would freeze the nuts off a Jeep." Now that is pretty darn chilly!

@johnburt7935 4 года назад

A nifty play on the classic "So cold it could freeze the balls off a brass monkey". I have in mind a garden thermometer in the form of a brass monkey with a trapdoor that drops a pair of brass ball bearings when the temperature drops to a certain degree.

Comically enough those, some towns acted or pretended there wasn't a war on. Smaller towns in the mid west, never had blackout drills... some towns never even had "draft"effects. Especially in places like PA, where entire towns were considered "Conscientious observers."

These cartoons were shown only to soldiers, they were never shown to the general public. That's why they could get away with the risque' humor and images of scantilly clad women.

Cartoons like this one were made to help with the soldiers’ morale. Many of these were also made to show what not to do in Warner Bros’s own comedic styles. This short, in particular, was made to remind soldiers that civilians didn’t have it easy, either. From factory jobs to victory gardens to rationing, both soldiers and civilians were having hard times during World War II.

@Luis-be9mi 2 года назад

An interesting note on the importance of censorship and accidental leaking of information, there was a representative from Kentucky named Andrew J. May. He let loose in a press conference that the Depth Charges used by the Japanese were being set a shallow depth since the Japanese didn't know that US subs were able to dive deeper than they thought. What happened soon after? The Imperial Japanese Navy set their depth charges to blow at even deeper depth sinking several US Subs. It's estimated that this leak of intel had costed the US Navy at least 10 subs and 800 sailors.

The modern wars arent like ww2 In ww2 there was a real threat of (the real) nazis and fascists and the Japanese invading and taking over and they had attacked unprovoked. The modern wars are just trillion dollar meat grinders that consume lives and resources just to fight a bunch of tribals in a desert that could never amass a land invasion force.
