Synopsis

One after another of a company of carrier pigeons falls prey to the seductive wiles of "Queen of the Spies" Hatta Mari. The alarm is raised at pigeon headquarters when Pigeon 13 goes AWOL... not from being shot down, but from being wooed by the female Nazi spy bird, to whom he reveals all his secrets. Hatta Mari slips a mickey into the drink of the young cadet, and he blabs all the details to you-know- who... via a TV/radio transmitter! After realizing what he's done, he shoots himself, but he misses! Back at the squadron, his name is scratched, and it's time to send the squadron's self-described woman-hater, Daffy Duck. Daffy volunteers for the next mission, but he has to swallow his secret message when the temptress corners him as well. After a frenetic battle at slinky Mari's pad, she X-rays the duck and broadcasts the secret ("Hitler is a stinker") to Hitler, plus Goebbels and Goering- who have to shoot themselves through the head after agreeing with it, but observing that this is no secret.

I think this cartoon is the best WWII related cartoon ever.
