1940'S. I've been learning about inventions in school in the 1940's and the swing was one of them. I hope this answer helps you all.

Nothing. The U.S entered the war after Pearl Harbour, not the Blitzkrieg.

No, but "precidented" is a word meaning, "proceeded by".

"It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing"

"You're a sap, Mr. Jap"

"Kilroy was here"

"Uncle Sam needs you".

"For the boys"

"Be like Dad, keep Mum"

"Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without"

"We can do IT!"

"loose lips sink ships"

"God is on our side", etc, etc, etc.

The Normandy Invasion.

The USS Suwannee (CVE-27) was in a number of naval engagements during WW2 ~ look to the related link below for additional information .

yes.

in germany, Hitler had forced every unemployed man to work on public service like building roads. one such project, was the creation of : the peoples wagen: valkswagen.

plus all the jeeps in WWII films :)

Cars were fairly common at this point. In Germany they were working hard on the Volkswagon, or 'people's car'. There are lots of great sites about the 1940s. It won't be too difficult to look up some more about this era.

Arbeit Macht Frei is written on the gates and literal translation would be work is liberating.

World War two was the event that really changed fashion. Most materials were needed for the war effort so fashion had to use new or unusual materials to create clothing and accessories. For example wool was rationed so clothing was made of Rayon (a new invention) and America cotton. Shoes were made of velvet, mesh, and reptile skins since leather was unavailable.

Rationing made what was available even more limited. You couldn't sew outside pockets, add pleats, or other decations made of fabric because these wasted fabric. Many women re purposed old clothing and made new clothing out of it. Styles had to be simple and easy to make for the home sewer.

I could go on and on. I just completed a book about 1940's fashion with a lot of information about how the war effected fashion. Search for 1940's Style Guide ebook and you can read more about it.

The early 1940s is largely associated with World War II. During this time, large numbers of people moved from rural to urban areas to find industrial work, the kind of work needed to help build equipment for the war. This trend in urbanization continued long after the war's end.
