When Hitler Kicks The Bucket

A wartime-made "Soundie" celebrating the desired (and impending) death of Adolf Hitler and the end of World War II. Before there ever was MTV and "music videos," there were "Soundies," played from 16mm film in bars and hotels on a coin-operated machine. This Soundie is very obviously a wartime morale film....which some would call propaganda...but is certainly typical of its time. Now in the public domain as copyright was never renewed it's now-vanished production company, it is presented here for historical education, discussion and critique.
