What was the average salary of GIs during World War 2?
I have no idea what the average salary (pay) was for GI's during WW2, and doubt that anyone can come up with an answer -- but I CAN tell you that when I went into the service in 1943 I was paid $50.00 a month. Remember, however, that that $50 was worth a lot more in those days than it is today. As I passed up the ranks I did get advancements, but I can't remember any amounts. Sorry! vcs
What long term effects did World War 2 have on women's lives?
World War Two had a profound effect on the women of the United States -- particularly in the area of employment. Prior to the war most women were homemakers, stay-at-home mothers. few had a job or worked. Jobs for women were limited -- nurses, salesgirls, domestics (cooks, maids, cleaning women, etc.). During the war -- with all the men of draft age in the service and a giant demand for workers in war plants, factories, etc -- the women had to give up their old ways, roll up their sleeves and go out and work for the war effort. Needless to say they performed an enormous service for the country. I don't know what the country would have done without them. This broke the male-female work barrior and from then on there have been more and more women in the workforce. I don't know what the percentage of women in the workforce is today -- but it's very high. The extra income with both husband and wife working certainly provides them with a better lifestyle, better housing, and a lot of things their grandmothers didn't have. vcs
How did the walkie talkie help with combat in World War 2?
First of all let's agree on what a Walkie-Talkie is. The World War Two Walkie-Talkie was a large backpack unit, with an aerial sticking up, that you talked into and listened using a hand-held telephone-like device. It weighed 40 pounds and operated on FM frequencies. (1944 and beyond. Before that it was AM))It could operate in an area up to 10-20 miles. The smaller "Spam Can" unit (SCR-536)-- which most people mistakenly identify as a Walkie-Talkie -- was a hand-held unit that you talked into on one end and listened on the other. It was shaped like a large cardboard milk carton (Or the tin can that the GI's SPAM came in -- hense the name) It weighed about 9 pounds or so (I can't remember exactly) and operated on FM. The Walkie-Talkie was mostly used for longer distance taffic -- ship to shore, air to ground, headquarters to headquarters, etc. The Spam Can was used for shorter distances -- front line traffic ... platoons, companies, battalions, observers, etc. Both units allowed you to walk and talk at the same time -- or remain stationary. In a way they could be likened to the modern day cell phone. In heavy combat they were the only electronic means of communication on the front lines --until the Signal Corps people could lay and string wire for telephone communication. Hope all this answers your question. If not, come back. vcs
What led to the battle of the coral sea?
The Battle of the Coral Sea came shortly after the beginning of the war in the Pacific. The Japanese military was concerned that the United States would use Australia as a giant naval and airforce base from which to conduct the war against the Japanese in the southern Pacific and threaten the Japanese oil sources in the nearby Dutch East Indies. The Japanese strategy was to isolate Australia by occupying New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, the New Hebrides, New Caledonia, Samoa and Fiji. The Japanese Navy was dispatched to do the job. There they met the United States Navy -- with their big carriers. The result was the Battle of the Coral Sea. vcs
What are ration stamps and why were they used during World War 2?
Because of the great amount of food that had to be alloted to U.S. servicemen in this country and overseas during World War Two (Over 16 million) -- and the food that had to be sent to our allies -- there was a shortage of many types of food here in this country. Those types of foods then had to be rationed -- there were only varying amounts available at any given time. The only way to make sure that every American citizen was able to buy their fair share of the rationed foods was by coupons. A family or a person would periodically be alloted a book of coupons (called Ration Stamps).I can't remember how often the ration stamp books were distributed -- maybe once a month When people went to the store to buy food thay would have to redeem the ration stamps for (only)those foods considered in short supply. The greater amount of the shortage type foods purchased -- the more stamps you had to turn in. You could spend all your ration stamps right away or parcel them out over a period of time. When they were gone -- they were gone. You didn't get any more until you got your next book of ration stamps. vcs
