Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In this classic WW2 propaganda piece, Adolf Hitler, principal spokesman of "The New Odor", takes it upon himself to win the war single-handedly by flying a solo bombing mission over Moscow. Unfortunately for Der Fuhrer, his plane is sabotaged--and he himself is spectacularly humiliated--by a battalion of pint-sized "Gremlins from the Kremlin", most of whom bear a startling resemblance to the Warner Bros. animation staff. Some of the funniest material occurs at the beginning of the cartoon, as Hitler delivers a tirade with such authentic German phrases as "Stup Friz Freleng vit der Heinrich Binder und der Vat's Cooking Doc!"
