 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Education for Death: The Making of a Nazi is a Wartime Cartoon in the Classic Disney Shorts lineup, based on the Gregor Ziemer book of the same name and released on January 15, 1943. High production values aside, suffice it to say this is not your typical Disney cartoon — aside from some brief bits of comedy (particularly the retelling of Sleeping Beauty as an allegory of how Adolf Hitler "saved" Germany from democracy), this short was intended as a dead-serious message for American audiences, displaying just what destructive and terrifying methods the Nazis used to brainwash young Germans into becoming perfect soldiers for the Führer. Hence, the title.The short is included on the DVD set "Walt Disney Treasures: On The Front Lines", uncut and uncensored and with a message from Leonard Maltin explaining the short and how horrific and chilling it truly is.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

 Acceptable Breaks from Reality: The fact that this was made in 1943 makes the storyline of Hans dying in battle this. We now know that the major events in Hans' life could not have all happened to one person entirely under the Nazi regime. At the time of the cartoon's release, the Allies did not know this. Hans being born under Nazi rule and growing up still under Nazi rule by the end of the cartoon is a reflection of the very dark prospect of the Nazis lasting that long. (Although, considering that the Nazis were using Child Soldiers to defend Berlin at the end of the war, it makes the cartoon's ending all the more horrific, since Hans didn't get to grow up...)

 Adolf Hitlarious: Hitler is depicted as a medieval knight coming to wake up Germany. He is caricatured as a complete angry fool, shouting gibberish, and provides the only comic relief in the entire cartoon.
