The Sacramento Bee, reliable? I dunno, I've never understood why a newspaper should be named after an insect. How about the Cincinnati Cockroach, or the Baltimore Bedbug? The Seattle Spider? The Tampa Tarantula?
Seriously, though, it doesn't seem likely that Hitler or his minions ever saw a Stooges short, since they came to power (by fraud) in 1933, and the persecution of the Jews was one of the first items on their agenda. Harpo Marx, on a solo European-Russian tour in that same year, reported that he already saw Jewish shops in Hamburg with their windows splattered with anti-Semitic graffiti. He later said, "I got across Germany as fast as I could." Obviously, not stopping to give any performances!
So if the Nazis had known that Columbia Pictures was a Jewish-owned business (they probably did, the name Harry Cohn being a dead giveaway), they would have banned any and all Columbia films mach schnell, and not only those starring the Stooges. All American films were under a Nazi ban by 1939-1940, which caused a lot of trouble for every Hollywood studio, but especially for Walt Disney's. The Disney brothers had been relying on the European markets to help them finance their increasingly expensive animated features, and now that money was cut off. As a result, both Pinocchio and Fantasia lost money, in spite of their excellence.
And the Disneys were about as Gentile as you can get, but it didn't matter.
A bad, bad time that I wouldn't have wanted to live in.
