WWII Pledge of Allegiance
1942, Once Upon a Honeymoon, Ginger Rogers is talked into spying on her Austrian husband (who, unbeknownst to her, is a Nazi). The agent who recruits her (played by Albert Dekker) gets her to recite the pledge of allegiance with him -
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all.Yeah. No 'under God'... And yet, somehow, the Republic stood. Even triumphed.

How bizarre. The Pledge of Allegiance was the origin of the Nazi salute and of Nazi behavior in the USA. See the discoveries of the historian Dr. Rex Curry. That film was made apparently at the time when people in the USA were trying to cover-up the pledge as the origin of the nazi salute and nazi behavior, and people were dropping the pledge's early nazi salute. The Pledge of Allegiance is Hitlarious.
