A British animation, this one, that starts with the stork noticing a peculiar odour from the last of her deliveries one morning. Dropping it quickly, we see a fully Nazi-uniformed baby Adolf land in the living room of a house before it proceeds to walk, with accompanying geese, through Europe. Along the way we meet his two friends - one from Italy, the other from Japan, before a bloodied nose in Russia and an array of opposing flags confirms his inevitable and violent defeat. The narration is set to rhyme and at times is quite pithy as it ridicules the personalities, philosophies and politics of these three ambitious and evil men. The Hilter "puppet" looks especially accurate with the stop-motion work providing quite an entertaining piece of wartime Axis-bashing.
