Also, he's from my home state, so that's doubly cool. Maryland represent!

I saw this on tumblr recently and it turns out that unfortunately this was a prop for some war propaganda movie.

The link that you provided says that it's from Pathe Newsreels, which is somewhat different than "some war propaganda movie".

Seems legit? I mean, it's not that animals required passports to be on ships, but that they gave the little mouser one to make him part of the crew.
