Who doesn't love padding a story? In many ways propaganda and rap music are kindred spirits; both paint broad pictures without footnotes or any sort of a bibliography.
For those interested, here is brief history of American propaganda posters from from the first world on towards the present. The one at left was my personal favorite, both because of the sheer ridiculousness and b/c of it's renewed timeliness. I'm wondering though, is it possible or practical to wear a hat like that in a car with no roof? You'll notice that spectral Hitler left his hat at home. That or he's sitting on it.
Also, in the spirit of gas conservation, i thought I'd give a shout out to the late Pimp C, who often celebrated the helmet-buffing aspects of carpooling. Just check his verse from where da g's after da jump.

you can only wear a hat in a convertible if you have the nazi war machine blocking the draft for your arrival. as for hitler, that's really his brother Spizer, an oft used hand model and regular fill in for his older brother.
never getting out from under his brother's shadow, in the late 60's he was a staple of shows such as Laugh In and a personal favorite, Guess The Anti-Semite, though he was always bachelor number two so it wasn't hard to pick.
His last appearance came on an episode of Hee Haw upon which he rode a wooden donkey and sung a song about Cornbread in german.
"Cornbread ist yummy, gesetzt ihm in meinen Bauch, mein Bruder hasste alle Juden, ich wünschen gerade Fliegenhonig. Wort oben."
Hence was the end of his stint in hollywood.
