A heads up for anyone interested. On May 18th, Disney will release a two disk treasury called On The Front Lines that will contain the complete animated film Victory Through Air Power and dozens of training, propaganda and entertainment films of the war years, including 'Der Fuehrer's Face'. It will be available from Amazon and Sam's Club. I didn't think I would ever see VTAP since it hasn't been released since the war. This will be a must have for me.

Thanks for posting. I agree, this is a 'must have'.

There is a book, Victory Through Air Power' that was written by Major Alexander DeSeversky that is also available. eBay currently has about a dozen copies for sale.

As I recall the book (it has been many years), it was wartime propaganda, not really worth reading except for the insight into how we thought in 1942. (Not to say that Seversky wasn't correct!)

all the best

The Disney studios are re-issuing the 1943 animated propaganda film, Victory Through Air Power, based on DeSeversky's book. It will ship later this month. Also included on the two-disk set are some 30-odd short films (including 'Donald Goes to War' and 'In the Fuehrer's Face' that Disney made for the armed forces and for civilian propaganda.
