I saw this in the theater at the age of 6 (a friend’s mom took a bunch of us). It was not age-6-appropriate but I remember laughing a lot. Michael j Fox’s first movie, if I’m not mistaken.

Hitler tells Neville Chamberlain he'll halt war in exchange for the Sudetenland.

And the rest of Czechoslovakia. And Danzig. And the rest of Poland. And Denmark. And the Low Countries. And Northern France. And...
