At the end of the war this son of German-Americans wrote a training film called "Your Job in Germany," which said that the German people would have to prove they were no longer Hitler's willing patsies. But most of his wartime Geisel spent on a cartoon series called Private SNAFU (from the military acronym Situation Normal All Fouled Up, or word to that effect...
