Private Snafu demonstrated to the soldiers what not to do in service and designed to improve troop morale during World War 2. The cartoons were produced to the US Army by Warner Bros. The voice of Private Snafu was performed by Mel Blanc. (Mel Blanc earned the nickname "The Man of a Thousand Voices". He is best remembered for his work as the voices of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety Bird, Sylvester the Cat, and many other characters.) In this episode: Taking a chance remark that the weather is good for bombing, Private Snafu carelessly starts a mistaken rumor that the base is about to be bombed. The story grows more exaggerated with each passing turn. Eventually, a panic breaks out that a bombing is imminent. In the end, nothing happens, but the base is quarantined and Snafu is locked up in a psychopathic ward. This 1943 animation classic demonstrates how rumors start and affect Army morale. All Snafu cartoons are built around morale and hard lessons, but Rumors remains unique for portraying an important message in surrealistic fashion. The use of "flying baloneys" are absurdist in its conception - but it's an innovative portrayal of how dangerous rumors can be, and the possible consequences that even a nation could suffer from. In particular, the military was apparently very concerned about loose-lipped soldiers spreading rumors and giving away information to the enemy. With titles like Spies (1943), Rumors (1943), and Censored (1944), the Snafu films present a primer on keeping one’s mouth shut. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND / CONTEXT Rumor is mouth-to-mouth communication of unconfirmed stories and anecdotes. It is the most primitive kind of news, and it is just as inefficient and inaccurate as it is primitive. Rumors and gossip might be a part of human nature, but it can be dangerous for a large number of factors. It is an endearing feature of the human psyche; evoking emotion and sparkling attention. The more spread the rumors are, the more exaggerated they become. Especially do rumors spread when war requires secrecy on many important matters. The customary sources of news no longer give out enough information, both because the news is unavailable to them and because, even if it were available, censorship is often expedient. If people cannot learn through legitimate channels all that they would like to learn or are anxious to learn, they pick up "news" wherever they can get it. When that happens, rumor thrives. Rumor thrives in the armed forces as well as among civilians since it is so often necessary to keep the soldiers to some extent uninformed, especially as regards future military operations. Military leaders have, however, to guard against rumor because it can disrupt carefully prepared plans by leading to loss of morale, or even to panic and defeat. According to H. H. Garner, an Army psychiatrist in World War 2, anything which reduced the soldier's morale could also predispose troops to panic. One of the predispositional variables is the powerful force of rumor. For instance, toward the end of World War 2, rumors spread throughout Holland among the Dutch concerning the rapid advance of the Allies into their country. Actually, only a few advance units had crossed the border from Belgium at the time. The rumors among the people so strongly influenced the German troops that they started a panicky retreat to the German frontier (their flight was stopped by German troops at their own border).
