Plot Summary:Bury the Axis was directed and animated by American Lou Bunin 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. The film uses stop-motion animation in order to portray its story. This includes clay puppet models of Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito. It begins with Hitler singing a little song about how he's taken over several countries and will do more...that is, until he gets to Moscow. The, similar sorts of songs are then sung by Mussolini and Hirohito.
