It was part of a British plan to showcase the enemies of Britain as truly evil in the eyes of the public in order to continue the war effort.

Kenneth Clark, as head of the Films Division of the Ministry of information that was re-established at the start of the war, argued in 1940 that the public must be convinced of German brutality, stating 'we should emphasise wherever possible the wickedness and evil perpetrated in the occupied countries'[1][2][3] Though very little research and historiography has been produced on Bury the Axis, it is often remembered by historians and film and animation researchers as being 'memorable'[4] During the Second World War, much propaganda was created, each with its own aim.

British propaganda's intentions throughout the war varied, though focused mainly on boosting morale on the home front and increasing/maintaining a dislike for the enemies of Britain.

Upon landing, the baby immediately draws a gun before firing it at the stork, and then transforms instantly into an adult Adolf Hitler.

In this song, Hitler starts with how he overthrew democracy in Germany, joined by four goose-stepping geese, each wearing a military hat or helmet.

Following the three Axis powers individual scenes, the animation then shows Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito in a battleship of a tank, with the narrator stating "the three lugs got together"' and that "when their neighbours weren't looking, they Blitzkrieg'd em".

The Allies fire off two more shots at Hitler, Hirohito and Mussolini; each one completely debilitating the trio and leaving them left in a humiliating position.
