WW2 Homefront

THEY BOMBED ALL THE CITIES BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO TORTURE THE PEOPLE TO BE GIVING IN TO THEM TO OVERRULE THEM.

gasoline, food and metal (Granby High School Students Do not read)

OK some of the products were stockings, shoes, food ( eggs,sugar,coffee,meats)and gas. That's about all i know

In Great Britain everything was rationed because the Germans had so imperiled trans-Atlantic shipping and obviously for the war effort. By the Way stocking were rationed because the silk was used as bags for holding propellant for field artillery shells. The silk cut down on sparks which would cause propellant to blow up. Shoes were rationed due to the obvious need for shoe leather for military boots and shoes.

That depends on how many people actually have a car :)

The trials demonstrated to the world that war criminals would be prosecuted ; justice and the rule of law would prevail .

German Americans and Italian Americans were interned; and they were incarcerated in more than 50 camps across this great land.

I am living proof of such internment; I was 12 when I was interned at both Ellis Island, NY and at Crystal City Texas. More than 15,000 German Americans and Italian Americans were interned. Upwards of 40,000 German Americans were arrested by various agencies.

See http://www.foitmes.com for more info on this! The question is "false."

If you are speaking of a formal internment as the Japanese Americans were, then no they weren't. However in many parts of the US, these different groups were "interned" in place and very carefully watched. There are many local traditions of certain families and entire groups who were "quarantined" in the town or forced to move to that particular area.

One such town was Cullman, Alabama. Being predominately German American, during the war, this town was heavily watched by the government and almost interdicted by the state. Other pockets of German Americans were "reminded" that they were not welcomed in the community, necessitating hasty moves in some cases.

While there was no formal internment by the federal government, the local populace did make sure that such citizens were closely watched. Part of the reason is that these populations did not settle quite as densely as the Asian Americans, preferring to emigrate further into the interior of the country. While they did settle in enclaves, most were small and rather far apart.

Only in the large metropolises is it apparent that there are "Little Italy" or "Germantown". For most of the country, the citizens are more homogeneous with smaller neighborhoods as a cultural base.

I am not 100% sure, but if they did you would think that they would publicly announce it in speaches, photos, and posters like the US did. if you do google searches for this you will find no evidence of metal drives in ww2. I think its safe to say that there was next to no scrap metal drives in germany during ww2.

It was when both Soviet Russia and the US competed against one another to see who could build the most nuclear weapons, and who could build them the fastest.

The U.S. emerged from WW2 as a superpower and the leading proponent of democracy in the world. The U.S. is the only country able to stand up to the Soviet Union and prevent the spread of communism. The above along with the baby boom Quicker advance in technology [not only inthe US but all of the other countries involved in the war] 'Disagreements' with the USSR [communism became a bigger deal after the 2nd world war] Nuclear Powered Navy [Hyman Rickover was like "ooh make a nuclear bomb with lots of power, how can we harness this for more power?"]...{g-d-d--n Rickover}

People were brutally abused and demolished during the walk. If people wanted water they had to get it from dirty streams filled with maggots, leeches, etc... Either that or they'd get shot. The guards were so mean that when someone dare ask for water, they were either beaten to death ,bayoneted or hanged.

The nurses of World War 2 were already nurses. They left their job positions to join the military branches and go overseas. Some nursing students were rushed through their nursing programs to finish and join up. Many nurses switched from civilian jobs to military jobs to serve in the USA so other existing military nurses could go overseas. Some nurses joined the Red Cross.

Women made bombs, ammunition and thousands of other things for the war.

They cooked very much as they do today- there were gas and electric ranges, but no microwaves and very limited frozen meals, but otherwise, cooking has not changed much.

28,000 Norwegians fought with the Allies even though Germany occupied Norway. They operated an Underground Resistance network to sabotage the Nazis and get Jews to freedom. The helped to win the war and defeat the Nazis.

Until the arrival of the Spaniards and the horses they brought with them all Native American people were pedestrians.

It is estimated the death toll was 63-60 deaths in World War 2. Half the death toll is was of the Soviets who lost about 20-25 million people. The Jews had a death told 6 million together with other people like homosexuals, gypsies and members of resistents groups in concentration camps suffered the most in WW2.

Second Answer by editor: The total death toll has been recounted using computers. So far the death toll of World War 2 world wide is 71-72 million worldwide. It has been hard to get an exact death toll because some people were vaporized in bombs, fires and the atomic blast. There were so many people who never had their deaths recorded too. The Soviets lost 20 million people when the Nazis invaded their nation. The Jewish death toll is 6 million and the death toll of the "undesirables" that the Nazis killed is 5 million. It is not included in the Jewish death toll. Anyway many web sites show a figure between 65 to 70 million and you should use those figures for now until the recounts are done. It may never be accurate.

They put out fires like a fire man and they worked for the womens land army

The rationing of food helped the US send food to England and the troops. The rationing of fuel and oil assisted the war to fly planes, move ships and vehicles. The rationing of clothing and other things allowed companies which normally manufacture goods to change their manufacturing plants into war armament plants. It also allowed clothing and shoe companies to make uniforms, coats and boots for the troops.

The same thing held true for Canada, England, New Zealand and Australia.

The atomic bombs , Fat Man and Little Boy , were delivered on targets Hiroshima and Nagasaki by two B-29 Super Fortresses , the Enola Gay and Bockscar , originating from the Pacific island of Tinian .

they usually dont were hats if you aren't talking about russia. they were helmets.

Morrison shelters were made of heavy steel and wire.

Men wore suits with ties or casual clothes such as slacks, button down shirts, polo shirts, swearter tops and dress shoes or sneakers. The women wore dresses nearly all the time. They wore pants or jumpsuits if they were working, especially when working in the the manufacturing industry. They wore dress or casual shoes.

If you want to see they styles they wore watch the movie Since You Went Away a 1944 movie with Claudette Colbert or watch Mrs. Miniver a 1942 movie. These movies are probably available to be checked out for free from your local library.

The coupons or stamps or rationing cards all varied according to the recipient of the ration card. Children each received their own card. They were able to get more milk, dairy products and meat than the adults could do. Cards for babies had more milk also. Each food item had their own squares or stamp locations according to the food item. See the link below to see what the rationing cards look like.

Just about same clothes what people wear in USA and everywhere else... Not really any exceptional clothes what Finns would wear, just normal stuff what you get from stores..
