Yes, there were horse drawn dairy wagons during WWII. We lived at 116th and Prairie Avenues on the far south side of Chicago and one came down Prairie Ave. I don't remember which dairy it was from but I remember stepping around "horse patties" when crossing the street. Yes. I lived at 86th & Sangamon. There were horse-drawn milk wagons even after the war, from Wanzer's Dairy. There were also horse-drawn junk wagons (rags, ol' iron), and ice wagons until the early 50's. I saw horse-drawn junk wagons on State Street as late as 1960. There were also horse-drawn newspaper delivery wagons during WWII. My father-in-law not only had one when he was working for the Chicago Times, but he also drove a battery-powered electric delivery truck as well. Yes I remember horse drawn garbage trucks in the late forties. They were housed at a stable located at 54th and Wood Street. I remember seeing one of the horses fall and had to be shot. Also several milk daries had horse drawn wagons, one was located in the middle of the block on 52nd and Wolcott

What was Adolf Hitler allergic to?
Nothing in particular, but because he had a condition called meteorosis (a farting disorder), he had to be careful about eating meat and dairy. Meteorosis was probably the reason for Hitler's staunch vegetarianism.
How did people get past rationing in World War 2?
many people must have found rationing in world war two quite hard,as they only received 66 copouns a year for clothes.. that sounds alot but those 66 copouns were to last them a year, plus alot of the clothes were either 8 copouns or over!
Drafting during World War 2?
All combatants used the draft in WWII, and before. The USA started its first peace time draft in its history as a nation ( a bill that passed Congress by just one vote ), just months prior to Pearl Harbor. Like many nations, the USA would draft just about anyone. A few exemptions were made for health issues (ex: Frank Sinatra was exempt due to flat feet, meaning he couldn't march long distances) or criminal background. One of my uncles was exempt for a time due to his job in a 'critical' industry ( he worked on a dairy farm ) but later in the war, 1944, he too was drafted. Interestingly, the Navy and Army drafted freely during the war, but the Marine corp. refused to draft and used entirely volunteers, as they had during their entire history. Late in the war, needing men for a possible invasion of Japan, the Marines did draft for a short time, the marines also drafted for Vietnam. Of course, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan drafted. The Soviets drafted men and women en mass without regard to criminal background, health issues, etc. Entire towns and villages were stripped of all manpower and often women-power, with these personnel then pushed right into combat. After the debacle campaign Winter 1941/42 Germany, which already had a limited draft, started a major call up of its manpower. Factories were stripped of males, often replaced with German women or conscript labor from France, Poland, etc. As the war went on the exemptions became fewer and fewer as even the most trained personnel were needed for infantry.
What was a weekly ration for a family of 4 World War 2?
WW2 front line food rationsYou get the following:1 Tin of Corned Beef (better known as 'Bully Beef' to friend and foe alike). Comes in the tan-and-green early war Australian military labeled tin. Of course, this is the proper key-turn variety tin with the silver-coloured ends as made in Argentina for the Australian Armed forces to this day. Ready to "pour" from the tin when the temperatures reach 110 degrees and up!2 Packs of Arnott's Plain Biscuits (These are military biscuits and not fancies)--Hard on the teeth but oh-so-filling! Sealed inside cello bags, inside the buff and properly labeled early war wrapper reminiscent of WW1 ANZAC fame. (3 ounces each)1 Tin of Tuna in the proper buff-labeled "Diamond Brand" tin as seen in many pictures of Australian rations from the war. Fish was a vital component to rations for men in the desert, to receive plenty of protein in a not-so filling package, while delivering a bit more salt to the diet in order to encourage drinking of water.3 packs of WEET BIX, Australia's favourite high-nutrition Cereal/biscuit. These can be eaten dry as a snack, or boiled with water and sugar, or, better yet, eaten in Milk (hot or cold) as an energy breakfast. Standard Aussie issue wrapper from the time period covers one serving each of these sealed inside an inner cello pouch.1 Roll of Steam Rollers Mints in the buff war-time wrapper. These are actual Australian Steam Rollers as issued to troops, and will pleasantly surprise you folks if you don't care for the British or German mints that eat your lips off. These are mild and tasty, and were one of the favourites with all troops in the theatre, even inspiring some German mint makers to work on more pleasant mint varieties when some rolls made it back from the front!1 pack of Indian "Sun" brand matches, which were both issued and sold through NAAFI outlets. They were cheap, plentiful and somewhat waterproof, and come in gastly hand-assembled and labeled wood and paper boxes, just like the originals!1 Australian 3-in-1 pocket tin opener in its proper 1940 dated envelope. This opener will open cans, lift up caps, and serve as a spoon. The design is so clever, it is still in service today!Australian WW2 Early War Ration Set B Tinned Tea LotThis is another lot of Reproduction WW2 Rations, this time it is a set of Rations as used by Australians, Brits, New Zealanders, South Africans and, given half a chance, Germans and Italians during the North African campaigns, and most any front line between 1940-1943.These reproductions were made up to supplement rations to our group of British WW2 Burma Campaign re-enactors, as the Brits in Burma and elsewhere would utilize a virtual smorgasboard of mixed rations, ranging from locally procured food stuffs, over standard rations, such as 24 hour meal and Compo Rations to exotic items, such as US and Australian ration packs.These would be perfect for most allied or axis re-enactors running about in North Africa, Crete or the Balkans.You get the following:1 Tin of Service Blend Tea in the reclosable 3.1 ounce package. Lid is pry-up style, tea is properly atrocious, and label is standard Aussie Mil. This is where the mate who is good at making Billie tea can shine. (Yes, you use a tin (biscuit or otherwise) with a handle to make the tea in. After brewing it up, you swing it around to settle the leaves...This requires practice, mate!)2 Packs of Arnott's Sweet Biscuits (These are military biscuits and not fancies)--Quite tasty with a spot of tea or coffee, or even as an energy snack inside your GP ammo pouch. Sealed inside cello bags, inside the buff and properly labeled wrapper. (4.5 ounces each)1 Tin of sweetened condensed Milk in the proper compo ration wrapper. Even the flimsy rim tin is right! Brew up a mess of tea to share with your mates, or bribe the Gurkhas with this sweetened treat!1 pack of "Hard Sweets". Similar to British Boiled Sweets, these red, green, orange, yellow and white "lollies" are intended as supplemental rations and energy food, and were a standard item found inside the pocket of most any Commonwealth trooper. 2 cello packs of one ounce each inside the properly marked outer package as issued with daily rations and flight rations.

What is information on the Chicago Guernsey Farm?
The Chicago Guernsey Farm was located on Garfield Road in Hinsdale, IL. My father worked there as a dairy man in the mid-twenties and it went out of existence in the sixties. They had their own herd of guernsey cows and milked them twice daily. Interestingly, during the Second World War, they deliverd the milk on the close-in routes by horse and wagon to save gasoline and tires (which were rationed) for the further routes.
