The Autobiography of a Jeep

US 1943

Another key difference between German and American propaganda during World War II was the treatment of the individual. Whereas German propaganda the notion of a Volkskörper (racial corpus) was ubiquitous, and individual fates were almost never chronicled, American propaganda always focused on an individual; in this film it is expressed through the subjective narration of a jeep. It, too, was shown in occupied Germany as a reeducation film.
