Life Goes to War: Hollywood and the Home Front
German civilians were not affected by the war until 1941, the turning point of the war. The daily life of many was not changed from the late 1930's, and rationing was relatively minimal. (Hitler feared poor morale at home would induce the riots that contributed to their defeat in WW1.) Anyhoo, to the interesting bits, after the german defeat at Stalingrad (1943), german civilians were under great pressure at the home front to enhance the war effort. Women were eventually employed working 10-12 hours a day in factories, and children from the Hitler youth and a form of german "girl guides" were used in desperation to operate anti-aircraft batteries, searchlights, and eventually, the defence of Berlin itself! Allied 'carpet-bombing' on several german cities including Berlin & Hamburg killed hundreds of thousands of civilians. By this stage the german civilians were being well-and-truly annihilated.Despite this, some aspects of daily life continued; even with the Red Army on Berlin's doorstep, garbage runs still operated, flower sellers, shop owners, approx. 600 000 Berlin civilians continued their daily life, with unwavering trust, in the fuhrer (or control by the deluded fuhrer). The impact on these civilians hit them when they were killed.Other german civilians include those in concentration camps who worked and died (hundreds of thousands) in steel and armaments factories for the war effort. These civilians included the mentally ill and the physically disabled, considered weaknesses to the supreme, nordic race.German POW's in Russia were held for many years after the war, in appalling conditions; out of more than 200 000, 5000 soldiers returned in the 1950's.Apart from all this, there was the great shame in being manipulated by the fuhrer, losing the war, and being acused of the deaths of millions of Jews.
civilians supported the war effect by organizing volunteers to mend clothing for the soldiers. many women made ammunition from their household silver and hundreds of women followed their husbands to the battlefields where they washed mended and cooked for the troops. some women risked their life in combat. thousands of African American slaves escaped and passed as free people , others went to the frontier, where they sometimes joined the native American tribes. they also served in war.
it was a change from plantation life.
With most men fighting at the front, it was left to the women to take over traditionally male jobs. Working in factories, driving the buses, trains and trams, etc. With the war over, and the returning male survivors, a lot of women resented having to return to the so called "Womans' Role" in the home. Many women (and men) began working for the emancipation of women - which is still not fully achieved, even in 2017 - though it is better that it was in the 1900's.

Total war put pressure on the people on the home front to take of everything themselves without a large chunk of the population being home. It was the beginning of women making up a serious amount of the workforce.
Home front is the civilian population (and their activities) of a country at war. It usually applies to any aspect of wartime life not associated with actual hostilities.
