What did the children do during World War 2?

Answer 1

In America, we did nothing special. We grew up playing with our toys and trying to outsmart our parents. Some of the older kids would, on occasion, take up a collection of items for the "boys overseas", or write letters. The only thing we had to do was be quiet when Dad was listening to the war news on the radio. I know the situation was very different for children in other parts of the world, but I can't speak for them.
