The character "Lord Haw Haw" was a caricature of a real person. William Joyce, an American-born Nazi propagandist who had moved to Ireland and then to England before moving on to Nazi Germany in order to support the fascist Nazi Government. He was known derisively among the Allies (to whom he broadcast on behalf of Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry) as "Lord Haw-Haw" due to his snorting laughter. His broadcasts to England were the usual pointless Nazi screeds about how the Allies were losing the war, the "Jewish-Bolshevik-plutocrat" triangle supposedly directing the war, etc., interspersed with heavily slanted news items and some music, also created from a propaganda angle. Joyce was captured by British troops after the war. Despite never being granted British citizenship the British exploited a technicality (Joyce had previously been incorrectly issued a British passport) in order to try him for the crime of high treason. He was subsequently convicted of the crime, sentenced to death and executed at Wandsworth Prison in South London on 3 January 1946.
Direction is credited to "Cpl. Norm McCabe." As he had just enlisted in the Army, this would be the last cartoon that McCabe would direct for 21 years.
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto's boast to personally dictate peace terms in the White House was an inversion of his actual meaning in real life. The quote, which had leaked to the United States, was actually intended by Yamamoto to impress upon the Imperial Japanese High Command of the monumental task they had set before them -- Yamamoto was not promising to demand terms in the White House, he was threatening that the only way to win the war was to do that, with all the costs in life and matériel that would entail.
The first Warner Brothers cartoon to have the credits appear before the title of the cartoon.
