"Daffy the Commando" is a 1943 Looney Tunes War Time Cartoon, directed by Friz Freleng. It features Daffy Duck trying to get past enemy lines in Nazi Germany and a memorable scene where he hits Adolf Hitler over the head with a mallet.Seeing that the cartoon is nowadays an Unintentional Period Piece, it's seldom seen on TV anymore. note It has, however, been seen on public domain cartoon videos and even the Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVD set (sixth volume) | |

| Daffy the Commando / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Adolf Hitler receives a mighty blow on the head. He, Hideki Tojo and Benito Mussolini can also be spotted as Monkey Morality Pose images on the letter von Vultur received from the Gestapo. Funny enough, Mussolini's image is crossed out, as he was deposed in 1943. | |

Public Domain Animation: The cartoon's copyright has fallen into public domain. As a result some copies are in such bad shape that the signs on Daffy's cue cards when he is in the telephone booth are illegible. Thankfully, the toon is restored on one of the official Looney Tunes volumes and the cards are easy to read. | |

Hurricane of Puns | |
| Daffy the Commando / int_2937826d | comment |
Hurricane of Puns: Von Vultur receives a telegram from the "Gestinko Gestapo". The telegram warns him that if any more Allied planes get past him, "It's your Ka-REAR!" After giving Von Vultur a bomb, Daffy says "Well, ... see you around!" When Daffy notices a group of Nazi planes he calls them "a whole mess of Messerschmitss". And then when he engineers a friendly-fire accident, he calls the wreckage "A MESS of Messerschmidts!" When the Nazi officer traps Daffy inside the cannon he says: "Ah, try and duck this one, you duck!" | |

| Daffy the Commando / int_6eb4e408 | comment |
Artistic License – Military: It's clear that the makers didn't have a clue in what circumstances troops in Europe had to fight with at the time: The Nazi officer's head quarters are trenches, which are more reminiscent of World War I. Von Vultur's uniform and insignia corresponds to nothing in the Wehrmacht, being extremely simplistic and actually resembling a World War I Imperial German officer's uniform more than anything. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Daffy the Commando / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: We read "Untergang des Abendlandes" as the headline of von Vultur's letter, a reference to the novel of the same name by Oswald Spengler. The "translation" of the letter refers to Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito as "the apes of wrath", a shout-out to The Grapes of Wrath. When Daffy is inside the spotlight he yells: "Turn out that light!". This is a reference to a slogan used during air raid wardens in World War II. Daffy calls von Vultur "Liederkranz" and "von Limburger", in reference to the infamously smelly cheese. When von Vultur makes the phone call he asks: "Operator, give me number 32O.. ooh, is that you, Myrt?" , a reference to a popular catchphrase from the radio series Fibber McGee and Molly. | |
