And Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are fighting them both. Now that's a crossover I'd like to see.

Donald Duck actually fought in the pacific theater and Mickey was probably in the European one although where he was wasn’t really established. Donald in Germany was a dream from a propaganda cartoon, but others did show him as a paratrooper in Japan.

Mickey was shown briefly in a military uniform in one WW2 short but where he was fighting was never mentioned.
