Were those fart sound effects at the end?? I thought this struck a good balance of humor and information and there's even an action sequence!

Did these training films have recurring characters like the Coronet high school programs, I wonder?

Very interesting! Thanks, clavdivs

Of course there's the kid from Brooklyn who doesn't know what a tractor is.

I hate it when a death ray traps my foot like that.

I can't tell if the music is actually Carl Stalling or just a similar style.

Eh, maybe? He worked with Chuck Jones on Private Snafu.

Raspberries. The song is Spike Jones' "Der Fuehrer's Face"

Demerits for not featuring John Garfield.

Watching this reminded me of the Mitchell & Webb 'Death Ray' sketch.

(Also: Am I the only one who thought having a bunch of WWII GIs taking a leisurely shit together and a conversation about death rays no less, was just kind of...strange?)

> Raspberries.

Yes, but that’s rhyming slang. Fart sounds it is. They’re in the first scene, too.
