The Private Snafu films were clearly made to be seen by soldiers and not by the general public. The dirty jokes, sexual innuendos and language is relatively tame today but never would have been allowed in the regular theaters due to the Production Code. But, such off-color remarks went over very well with the enlisted men and helped to illustrate important information in a humorous and memorable fashion.
In this film, Snafu is very lax in caring for and wearing his gas mask. However, after being his typical ineffectual self, Snafu learns to love his gas mask after nearly being wiped out by the enemy.
Like all the Snafu films, although they were intended as training films, they are very watchable even today.
