The article says the film was produced in 1943, but the film mentions D-Day and the Invasion of Normandy (about 14:54 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K6-cEAJZlE ). How did that happen?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.71.247.84 (talk) 00:48, 16 August 2017 (UTC) 

This is clarified by the first sentence of the article: Don't Be a Sucker! is a short film produced by the United States War Department released in 1947, adapted from an earlier version from 1943.

Can anyone find a source for the 1943 date - other than IMDB and the "recent" (2017 sources) ones - which might well be based on IMDB and us? Cooper and Schneider has Don't Be A Sucker is an anti-discrimination film which was produced during World War II by the Army Signal Corps for use with the armed forces. After the war, a shortened version of the film was widely shown both commercially and under educational auspices. In 1947, the Department of Scientific Research of the American Jewish Committee undertook to study the impact of the film.  Msrasnw (talk) 08:52, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

In any case the year 1947 is shown on the "THE END" card, in Roman numerals as MCMXLVII. Gestumblindi (talk) 21:47, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
In my previous comment, I referred to the 17 min 21 s version File:Don't Be a Sucker.webm previously used in the article; now it's the longer File:Don't Be a Sucker (high resolution 35mm transfer).webm (22 min 49 s) where there is no year at the end. Gestumblindi (talk) 23:36, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

According to https://fedi.video/videos/watch/t4sN6wtVxGox9V8MyK1EzX (I know this is no source for Wikipedia), the film is from 1947, and not as currently stated in the article, from 1943. rugk (talk) 20:39, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

The article already acknowledges this discrepancy. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 20:56, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
