The Second World War started in the 30's and carried over into the 40's. World War 2 started when Hitler invaded Poland. Other major events of the Second World War would be the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, and the 2 catastrophic atomic bombs that shortly lead up to the ending of WW2. During this World War, Anime was urged to produce animations that enforced Japanese spirit and national affiliation. This event still impacts Anime today as it has inspired several animations to revolve around these tragic events and write a story.

The American Occupation of Japan was a time just after World War 2, and was dealing with forced demilitarization and the aftermath of the two atomic bombs. This affected million of people in different ways, and not just those in Japan. But those who were in Japan were punished and was an attempt as a reform in Japan. This affected Anime as well as many Anime's weren't released in Japan shortly after WW2. There are few that were but none leaving significant impact or still around today. (According to my research)

Although there isn't many animes still around today in the late 1940's I found this one after lots of research. Doubutsu Dai Yakyuu Sen is an Anime based upon animals playing baseball. There were two teams one team was full of gorillas and the other was with a variety of other animals. The only other information I can find on this short film was that the gorillas dominated in the game and beat the other animals with ease.
