WW2 Homefront

A ration book is important because it helps ensure fair distribution of scarce resources during times of scarcity, such as during war or national emergencies. It is used to allocate limited quantities of essential items like food, fuel, and other goods to prevent hoarding and ensure that everyone has access to the necessities. Ration books help maintain social order and equity in times of crisis.

Blackouts occur when there is a disruption in the electrical power supply. This can be due to various reasons, including severe weather conditions like storms or hurricanes, equipment failures, grid overloads, or deliberate actions like power outages implemented by utility companies. When the power demand exceeds the supply capacity or when there is a fault in the transmission system, blackouts can happen to protect the electrical infrastructure from further damage.

During the late 1800s to 1960s, women often formed adjunct organizations to support the work their husbands performed. For example, the Women's Postal Workers Auxiliary was formed in the mid-1960s. So some woman's husband worked for the Edmonton Fire Service (Edmonton Canada??). The Women's organizations held meetings, sought to have laws made to protect the employees, petitioned Representatives, Senators, Governors, etc., held fund-raisers, etc. Each organization could establish other chapters for other related service workers. Many of these women's groups only lasted between one to six decades, and faded into history as more workers formed and joined unions. As well, women's roles shifted. No longer did they just support their husband's job, women also became employed. By the way, no husbands have ever formed an "Auxiliary" organization to support the employment of their wives or other females!

If you come across World War II ration stamps, it is best to consult with historical experts or collectors who specialize in war memorabilia. They can provide guidance on their potential value, preservation, and whether selling or donating them to a museum or archive is the best course of action. It's important to handle historical artifacts with care and respect their historical significance.

There is no commonly known term or word called "corelette," so it is unclear what it refers to. It may be a misspelling or a unique term not widely recognized. Can you provide more context or information about it?

During a total war, governments of warring nations mobilized their entire societies towards the war effort. They implemented measures such as conscription, rationing, and censorship to ensure resources were channeled towards the military and to maintain public support. Governments also utilized propaganda to shape public opinion and boost morale. Additionally, they established war economies, directing industries towards producing weapons and other supplies needed for the war.

They were tough.

U.S. soldiers were given Hershey's chocolate bars in rations. It was considered a great snack for boosting energy.

Actually the exact opposite is the case. Not withstanding Hogan's Heroes where bribes are routinely paid to Shultz in the higly prized "AMERICAN CHOCOLATE", the real bar provided to American troops in WW2 was a special order bar bearing no resemblance to a chocolate bar any of us would buy at a store. It in fact was so bad, so difficult to eat, and so hard on the digestive system, that it was a useless product for the most part.

You must remember that his chocolate bar was an US Military design, not a Hershey design (it was produced by Hershey Chocolate). The US Military wanted an emergency rathion, not a treat for the soldiers and so they put forth a set of requirements for the bar among them being:

1) the bar must be temperature resistant so that it would not melt in the field

2) it must provide approximately 1800 calories

3) it must taste only slightly better than a raw potatoe

Yes, these were the requirements of the bar. The thinking was that if the bar tasted even remotely good, then soldier would eat the bar anytime they wanted a treat, rather than saving it as an emergency ration. Unfortunately, Hershey was too good at its job. The bar was indeed temperature resistant to about 120F., it did provide the requested caloric quantity, and it tasted bad, was hard to eat, and caused indigestion on most occassions.

As a result, the bar was pretty much a failure, for the army, and a great success to Hershey. Hershey received no less than five awards of Excellence from the US Govenment for the bar and its variations over the years. But in the field the bar was rarely eaten and instead was either thrown away, or if possible traded to anyone who did not yet know how bad it was for anything more palatable.

In the defense of Hershey Chocolate, they did indeed to a some excellent work with the bar. They met the requirements the US Military put to them. In the processes they had to invent an entirely new way to make chocolate bars. And they did over the years by request, make several attempts to improve the bar in various ways. They even made it resistant to poison gas at one point through its packaging.

To recap, the LOGAN bar as it was called in WW2 is nothing like a "real" chocolate bar and was not enjoyed by anyone.

The postage rate in April 2009 was at 42 cents. It was raised from 42 cents to 44 cents on May 11th. The second ounce of postage remained at 17 cents.(10/2009)

to build public support and keep up morale for the war effort

Men are not better than women, nor are women better than men. They are different and cannot be accurately compared.

While women are pound-for-pound stronger than men, men are usually bigger, and therefore will be stronger, which of course is a desirable trait in rugby. Having said this, women's rugby is considered by some to be a purer form of the sport, owing to the fact that they tend not to rely on brute force (although there are undoubtedly some female players capable of doing this) and instead rely on skill.

what industry supported the efforts of the office of war information (OWI)

Not nearly as many as Stalin was responsible for, but Stalin was 'our friend and ally' so we don't talk about it. Hitler was a ruthless and feared leader of Germany during WW2 there is no way to put a actual number of men woman and children that were murdered by this man.If someone was to estimate a number of deaths he is responsible for including his own people i would estimate at 15 million or more.....

the scramble for africa was a huge cause of tension between the european powers in 1900 because all of the european countries wanted to expand their empires colonially. they fought over certain lands in africa, especially, that gave them sea access and trade routes. also, each african country had their own natural resources that europeans wanted badly.

During the war. For many African Americans, the war offered an opportunity to get out of the cycle of crushing rural poverty. Blacks joined the military in large numbers, escaping a decade of Depression and tenant farming in the South and Midwest. Yet, like the rest of America in the 1940s, the armed forces were segregated.
