During WW2, Monopoly used plastic dice, as they do now. Earlier British versions (where the game originated) used Bakelite dice, a ceramic composite that predates plastic. During WW2, British Secret Service conspired along with the game manufacturers to hide compasses, real money and small metal tools in the Monopoly games that were shipped to prisoners held in German war camps.

What did soldiers in world war 2 do for entertainment?

Roman soldiers were known to use a set of dice to while away boring moments. A deck of cards. a pair of dice, a checker board, a chess game, baseball if the situation permits. The troops are inovative. They will find a way to blow off steam and to enjoy themselves.


What Items were need for soldiers during World War 1?

They usually took objects like diaries, photos of their wife, kids and family, cigarettes, Swiss-knife, chains, lockets all those kind of things that will remind them of their family and loved ones. Sometimes the would carry around an odd lyrics of poems and such to keep themselves entertained. They would bring along dice and cards and play games during free time. Hope this has helped :)

On the assumption that "the war" usually means WWII even today, it is summarized by a German who said to Hindenburg that one day people would curse his grave for allowing Hitler to come to power. No doubt most Germans and others have come to agree.
