This cartoon short might be one of the best war-time propaganda pieces ever made, along with 'Der Fuehrer's Face' (Both were nominated for Best Animated Short at the Oscars, with the latter winning). As usual, Tex Avery's visual gags were wild, unruly, all over the place, and top-notch. I love the character design of the Hitler Wolf (though why is the moustache split? Why not draw him with the regular Charlie Chaplin? The inaccuracy of the moustache is the one thing that annoys me) (Also, Adolf is an amalgam of Adal Wulf "Noble Wolf", so the character was of course a no-brainer, but still clever in this context) and his "combat" with the Three Little Pigs (Lead by Sergeant Pork) using an arsenal of gags, goofs, and antics. I've lost count how many times I've watched this cartoon, and I can honestly say it's more well thought-out than most action movies, and a far more brilliant piece of American propaganda than the generic Lone Survivor/Black Hawk Down/American Sniper crap we have today.
P.S. This cartoon was made in 1942, and I know it's in reference to the Doolittle raid, but there's a scene where they wipe out Japan with a single bomb, which is oddly prescient the more you think about it.
