Daffy The Commando is a Looney Tunes short starring Daffy Duck that is another in a long line of World War II propoganda cartoons made to support America during the conflict. However, while some are done to educate people with shocking images, this is one of the few that are meant to have a good laugh against our enemies.
Here, in a Nazi bunker, Commander Von Vultur, a vulture who is with the Nazis, is in trouble with his superiors (known only as the Apes of Wrath, which is clever play on The Grapes of Wrath), with his job on the line if one more commando gets through. He and his assistant, Schultz, is about to have trouble, as another commando parachutes down. And unfortunately for them, that commando happens to be Daffy Duck.
This wartime cartoon is mainly aimed more towards comedy, as Daffy basically does the slapstick Looney Tunes is known for against his two foes. The voice actors all do a good job, with Mel Blanc doing a good job voicing Von Vulur, and the ending is a classic.
