It could have been one of the offensive cartoons from the 1940's.
Offensive Cartoons of the 1940's: Racist & Patriotic Fun!

There're a couple of interesting things that Disney made during the war...all of them being a little "off". These include cartoons where Donald Duck is being told to save for his taxes, since they help support the war instead of spending his money on hookers (seriously). Now, obviously, I have to wonder how many "kids" filed their income tax returns during the 1940's...so maybe that whole "the cartoons weren't just for kids" thing was true (how many kids spent their money on whores is also up in the air). That kind of frightens me, considering the logic behind using cartoons for that whole SNAFU thing...you know, cartoons = education for adults. There's also a great "Donald Duck as a Nazi" cartoon called "In the Fuehrer's Face," where Donald Duck is a Nazi making munitions for Hitler.

There's also a cartoon called "Commando Duck," where Donald has to go behind enemy lines and destroy an airport. He ends up doing it with a giant water balloon by complete accident, but not before we get to hear a Japanese character say "Japanese tradition say we only shoot them in the back." :sigh: I know the times we live in are so much more politically correct, but really: Isn't being "politically correct" another way of saying "much less tolerant of blatantly horrible things to say?" Anyway, Donald the "Commando" ends the cartoon by writing a letter about how he met the enemy and wiped them all out. I guess if normal people are allowed to kill folks during times of war, I shouldn't be surprised when Disney characters start making tactical strikes.

I think it is from "The Old Army Game". Donald gets into a scuffle with Pete and tries to trick him I think and then thinks he lost his legs.

Thanks, although does anyone know the reason for the committing suicide image I show you? I was curious when I found that image.

[DisneyFanatic]

It's because he thought he lost his legs so he didn't want to live. I haven't seen this short in a while though.

Holy crap, that is disturbing!

[akhenaten]

is it on the donald's treasures series? i dont recall seeing it.

[Pasta67]

It's on Chronological Donald: Volume 2. There's even a screencap of this scene in UD's review.

The scene in question is from "Home Defense."

OH NO WONDER I DONT REMEMBER IT.NOT MY FAV PERIOD FROM THE DONALD SHORTS..I LIKE THE LATE 40S AND ABOVE SHORTS.

Just a side note. . . Donald should pay his taxes (spirit of 43- On the front Lines Treasure) He is forced to choose between a skinflint scottish Donald's patriotic idea to save and pay taxes, or to follow the spendthrift Donald (which ends up looking like Hitler) as he wishes to excort Donald into a neon signed-Idle hour club. There are no other characters male or FEMALE in this short.
