As it turns out there are no published silly civilian wartime activities during WWII, wartime activities that we found includes:
Collection of scrap metal
Individuals and communities conducted drives for the collection of scrap metal, aluminum cans and rubber, all of which were recycled and used to produce armaments.
American moviegoers were treated to a steady stream of war-related programming.
Throughout World War II, the movie-going experience included a newsreel, which lasted approximately 10 minutes and was loaded with images and accounts of recent battles, followed by an animated cartoon.
While many of these cartoons were entertainingly escapist, some comically caricatured the enemy. Among these titles were “Japoteurs” (1942) featuring Superman, “Der Fuehrer’s Face” (1943) starring Donald Duck, “Confessions of a Nutsy Spy” (1943) with Bugs Bunny, “Daffy the Commando” (1943) with Daffy Duck and “Tokyo Jokie-o” (1943).
American women played a vital role in the production of such war-related materials.
With tens of thousands of American men joining the armed forces and heading into training and into battle, women began securing jobs as welders, electricians and riveters in defense plants.
As per Guff.com, in Nazi-occupied France during WWII, civilians were guilty of looting and committing other crimes while the social structure was on a temporary pause. Some even impersonated police officers to extort, cheat, and terrorize the hypersensitive public out of money and security.
We’ve all seen “Saving Private Ryan” and “Band of Brothers,” but here’s a list of facts from World War II that you probably didn’t know shared by Businessinsider.com.
