You can stream Booby Traps (1944) on History Vault with a subscription.

Pvt. Snafu thinks he's too smart to get caught by an enemy booby trap, but he soon finds that the traps are alluring and that he is every bit the booby.

Pvt. Snafu's misplaced confidence in his own intellect leads him straight into a series of increasingly ridiculous military snares. This animated short finds the hapless soldier learning the hard way that curiosity often results in a sudden explosion.
