TUNESMITH TUESDAY - "Der Füehrer's Face"

Der Füehrer's Face was a song written by Oliver Wallace in 1943, and was featured in the movie of the same name (which was originally titled Donald Duck in Nutzi Land). The movie features Donald Duck in a nightmare setting working at a factory in Nazi Germany, and made in an effort to sell war bonds.

Der Füehrer's Face won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 15th Academy Awards. Because of the propagandistic nature of the short, and the depiction of Donald Duck as a Nazi (albeit a deeply reluctant one), Disney kept the film out of general circulation after its original release.
