It could be argued that all wars are propaganda wars. Certainly propaganda played a massive role in World War II, as it does in today's information warfare.
When enemies of the people are in control of news outlets and information is being censored, how do you bypass regular lines of communication to get the story out? Comic books? Movies? Science fiction?
In a storm of disinformation designed to keep us blind, perhaps we can read between the lines to uncover the real story.
Caped Crusaders (1/5)
In the Spring of 1939, as the rumblings of war grew in Europe, a new hero was born in America: The Batman (or simply "Batman" as he is known today).
One of the most popular and enduring comic book superheroes of all time, Batman got his debut in the May 1939 edition of Detective Comics in a story entitled "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate".
Billed as "a mysterious and adventurous figure fighting for righteousness and apprehending the wrongdoer, in his lone battle against the evil forces in society", Batman became a regular feature in each month's edition of Detective Comics before taking the leap into his own comic book in the Spring of 1940.

In a strange case of life imitating art, "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate" (published May 1939) features a lethal gas chamber. Is this a coincidence, an example of creative minds picking up on echoes from the future, or did the creators of Batman have information to communicate to the general population that could not be conveyed directly?
Here's a brief history of gas chambers from the Holocaust Encyclopedia:
The Nazis began experimenting with poison gas for the purpose of mass murder in late 1939 with the killing of patients with mental and physical disabilities in the Euthanasia Program.
A Nazi euphemism, "euthanasia" referred to the systematic killing of those Germans whom the Nazis deemed "unworthy of life" because of mental illness or physical disability.
Six gassing installations were established as part of the Euthanasia Program: Bernburg, Brandenburg, Grafeneck, Hadamar, Hartheim, and Sonnenstein. These killing centers used pure, chemically manufactured carbon monoxide gas.
Gas Vans
After the June 1941 German invasion of the Soviet Union and Einsatzgruppe mass shootings of civilians, the Nazis experimented with gas vans for mass killing. Gas vans were hermetically sealed trucks with engine exhaust diverted to the interior compartment. Use of gas vans began after Einsatzgruppe members complained of battle fatigue and mental anguish caused by shooting large numbers of women and children. Gassing also proved to be less costly.

Caped Crusaders (3/5)
In July 1939, having defeated the Chemical Syndicate and foiled a gang of jewel thieves, Batman pits his wits against a new enemy: Doctor Death. Doctor Death has developed a new poison based on pollen extracts and plans to use it to extort money from "the wealthy of the world".
"Doctors of Death" are another historical theme from World War II that appeared ahead of their time in Batman comics. Human experimentation including sterilisation and murder were infamously conducted at Nazi death camps, but these forces of evil were already at play in other Western countries including Great Britain and the U.S.A.
The terms "euthanasia" (good death) and eugenics (good genetics) have long been used as euphemisms (good speech) for depopulation. Orwellian doublespeak at its best (worst).
Today, with data revealing "excess deaths" among young, healthy individuals, we are seeing evidence of a depopulation agenda conducted by governments, pharmaceutical corporations and the medical establishment against the civilian population worldwide. It seems that Doctor Death is still alive and well in the 21st Century despite Batman's best efforts.
Further reading on the history of depopulation and genocide:
In some ways, US eugenics programs served as models for the early eugenic initiatives promulgated in Germany.6 Though the Nazi regime later made eugenics infamous through mass genocide, Britain and the United States also promoted policies to apply eugenics to social problems. The United States was at the forefront of the eugenics movement and initiated involuntary sterilization through laws often drafted by physicians. In 1907, Indiana became the first state to enact a law sanctioning the sterilization of “social misfits.” By 1926, 23 states had involuntary sterilization laws motivated primarily by eugenic ideas.7 In 1927, Virginia’s law was found constitutional by the US Supreme Court in an opinion by Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr, which used an analogy to the wartime draft.8
Hitler’s enthusiasm for eugenic theory is well-known. He read Menschliche Erblichkeitslehre und Rassenhygiene (Principles of Human Heredity and Racial Hygiene), the standard eugenics textbook during the Weimar years, and incorporated its ideas into Mein Kampf (My Struggle).9 Though Mein Kampf is known for its promotion of eugenic ideas, it was preceded by a number of other formative texts and acts that developed the scope of eugenics to include eradicating diseases, disabilities, mental illnesses, and, finally, whole races.

Unethical human experiments are a major threat to vulnerable populations everywhere – including in the US where, for example, the EPA is seeking to conduct pesticide exposure experiments on children. The IG Farben culture continues to drive the chemical-pharmaceutical industry. “Profit urber alles” – that means ANYTHING goes – profit above all else.
In Germany a growing number of people do not understand that IG Farben´s successors Bayer, BASF and Hoechst still refuse to apologize for their misdeeds.
…
“The concentration camps were used as a huge laboratory for human experimentation,” says Wolfgang Eckhart, the Professor of Historical Medicine at Heidelberg University.
“We have to look upon the camps as outposts of pharmacological research. The Nazis wanted to sterilise the population of the east, especially Russian people, but enable them to continue to be useful as workers.”

Caped Crusaders (5/5)
>Batman, the all-American crime-fighting hero, was working in time with America's future allies, staging a one-man invasion of Europe in September 1939 to rescue his fiancée from a sinister enemy.
The drama begins when Batman intervenes to prevent an attempted murder, only to discover that the would-be murderer is his own fiancée Julie, who has been hypnotised and is under the control of a mysterious villain named the Master Monk. Worse, when he takes Julie to the doctor, it seems that her doctor has also been hypnotised and insists that Julie must take a trip to Paris and then to Hungary.
To unravel the plot, Batman secretly follows his mind-controlled fiancée first to Paris, then tracks the evil monk to his lair in the mountains of Hungary.
What follows is a spooky mashup of vampires, werewolves and occult mind-control, but never fear - Batman saves the day by executing the sinister Monk with a silver bullet, which breaks the spell over his fiancée.
