MICKEY MOUSE AND WALT DISNEY HOW THEY CONQUERED THE THIRD REICH HC

Mickey Mouse and Walt Disney: How They Conquered the Third Reich explores the licensing and merchandising of Disney cartoons in pre-war Germany and then methodically relates the Third Reich's formal and informal reaction to Mickey Mouse and Disney's entire output of cartoon features, from the use of Mickey Mouse and Disney characters in products, advertising and even as a moniker on German military vehicles and aircraft. This in-depth history also details Disney's U.S. propaganda against the Nazis as well as delving into the ill-fated attempt of Disney's employees during this period to unionize. The book concludes with influence of Walt Disney's world of creations on post-World War II Germany.
