I’m not exaggerating for comedic effect - each entry here was released during WWII and is the literal definition of military propaganda.

As stated by the Oxford English Dictionary, “Information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view.” As you will see, everything below fits into said definition.

While perhaps some more modern examples of military animation could warrant inclusion here, so as not to stir any unnecessary controversy, I have decided upon only the most undeniable examples of propaganda. At least for the purposes of this stack, I am defining ‘WWII’ as 1937-1945 since that’s how long the war was from a Japanese/Chinese perspective.
