Herr Meets Hare is a 1945 Merrie Melodies anti-Nazi propaganda animated short directed by Friz Freleng.

The cartoon opens with a faux Walter Winchell-like voice discussing the end of the Third Reich, saying that "Germany has been battered into a fare-thee-well", and musing about where the high leadership, and "Fatso" Göring in particular has gone.

The scene soon cuts to the Black Forest, where Hermann Göring—in bemedalled lederhosen—is "soothing his jangled nerves" marching while on a hunt.

This cartoon is the first time Bugs says the popular catchphrase: "I KNEW I shoulda made dat left toin at Albakoikie".

Suckered into bending one himself, Göring declares them ersatz and mumbles all sorts of anti-Hitler sentiments ("Oh, do I hate that Hitler swine, that phony fuehrer, that…").

After the usual Nazi salute, Bugs berates him in faux German as he rips all of the medals off Göring's uniform ("Klooten-flooten-blooten-pooten-meirooten-tooten!

Later, when the jig is up, Bugs rides in on a white horse, dressed as Brünhilde—from Wagnerian opera, to the tune of the "Pilgrims' Chorus" from Tannhäuser.

The two dance and the music changes to Wiener Blut, before Bugs once again makes a fool of Göring and escapes.

Göring brings the bag to Hitler, who plays solitaire in front of a map depicting the decline of Fortress Europe.

[a] As Herr Hitler talks of the great rewards he is going to pile upon Göring for this act of heroism, he peeks inside the bag and is shocked ("Ach!!

[6] As the cartoon ends, Bugs glances back at the camera and asks, in a Russian accent: "Does your tobacco taste different lately?

The duo dances to the tune of two waltzes by Johann Strauss II: "Vienna Life" and "You and You", the latter originating in Die Fledermaus (1874).

AOL Time Warner refused to allow the broadcast of Herr Meets Hare, on the grounds that the cartoon was offensive (by today's standards) as it dealt with the Nazis in a joking manner.
