How did people communicate in World War 2?

Answer 1

Pigeons were used extensively in World War One. Man-made communication systems were still crude and unreliable, so dogs and pigeons were used. Pigeons would have been found just about anywhere on the Western Front. At the First Battle of the Marne in 1914, French troops stopped the German advance on Paris. As the French troops advanced and pushed back the Germans, so their pigeons advanced with them. In the heat and disorientation of battle, pigeons proved to be the best way of sending messages to the French headquarters. At the Marne, the French had 72 pigeon lofts. As the French advanced, the lofts advanced with them - but many of the pigeons were 'on duty' carrying messages and could never have known where their loft had moved to. Incredibly, all the pigeons at the Marne returned to their lofts - despite the fact that they would have flown 'blind' not knowing where their loft was.

Answer 2

In World War 2, people primarily communicated through written letters, radio broadcasts, telegrams, and in-person meetings. Military forces also used encrypted codes to send secure messages. The use of carrier pigeons was also common in certain circumstances for communication over short distances.

Answer 3

Letters were sent between loved ones but as for in battle, messengers were on motorbikes or horses. The messengers would deliver the message and then have one be sent back with them. Pigeons and dogs were also used for delivering messages.

Answer 4

The primary means of communication was the messenger: carrier pigeons, messenger dogs, runners (men), and airplanes flying over head, then dropping a messege. The second method was land line (telephone wire).

Note: Adolph Hitler was a "runner" (a corporal and decorated for heroism) during WWI.
