Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe "Daily Sentinel" newspaper with the headline "Battle Reports Prove U.S. Soldier Best Armed in World" is an altered version of the Chicago Sunday Tribune for November 1, 1942. The same issue of that newspaper was used as a model for the newspaper in Tortoise Wins by a Hare (1943), with both cartoons inserting a small subheadline reading "Adolph Hitler Commits Suicide."

Featured review
Fun Snafu Entry
Fighting Tools (1943)
*** (out of 4)
Fun entry in the War Department series has Private Snafu reading a headline explaining that U.S. soldiers have the best equipment in the world....as long as you actually take care of it. We see Snafu in the war zone when he comes up on a German solder who he goes to shoot before realizing that his poor care for his rifle has led to a problem. As with earlier films in the series, this one here certainly isn't a masterpiece but it's highly entertaining for a number of reasons. For starters, the animation is extremely good and especially some of the stuff with Snafu getting ready to shoot the German soldier. Another major plus is some "adult" type of humor including some nudity, which shows that this was meant for soldiers and not the general public. Finally, Mel Blanc is just delightful in his vocal work. This here is certainly one of the better entries in the series.
