A series of
animated training films made by
Warner Brothers for the U.S. Army during
World War 2. They were made by the
Warner Brothers animation department, with the help of Colonel
Frank Capra and, of all people,
Theodore Geisel (you know,
Dr. Seuss!), using the lyrical couplet style that made Geisel's children's stories famous.
The appropriately-named title character, Private Snafu, was a bungling infantry man whose ineptitude adeptly demonstrated to trainees what not to do when dealing with situations such as keeping military secrets from spies.
