I can't answer about life on the battle field.  I can tell you a little about life at home.\n\nThere was no butter.  We bought oleomargarine.  It was white.  It came with a packet of yellow food coloring.  You mixed the food coloring in the white oleomargarine to make it look like butter.\n\nLetters were written daily.  Long, rambling letters telling about everything that went on at home that day.\n\nIf you rode the train to visit the base where your father was stationed, it was a long, hot, boring ride.  You had to sit in a seat that was covered with scratchy material.  Most of the time I had to sit on my mother's lap.  The train was full of military traveling to and from bases.\n\nNo matter if you were at home, on the train, or at the base, you listened to the news on the radio.  The room was totally quiet so everyone could hear what was being said.\n\nPeople read newspapers avidly and shared them with their neighbors.\n\nThe blackouts were not enforced for those of us who lived in mid-America.  We did have to be careful but not like the people in England or the people who lived on the east or west coast of America.\n\nMy mother's best friend's husband died in France.  His body was never recovered.  That was hard for her to deal with.  She held a memorial service, but that is not like a funeral with a casket and a body.  It took her a long time to accept his death.\n\nI was so young at that time that I don't remember being without sugar, new clothes, new shoes, or tires for the car.  Those are all things that were rationed and hard to find even when you had the coupons.\n\nPeople were supportive of one another and did more for each other than they did in subsequent wars.  We had paper drives and the whole town participated.  We collected scrap iron.  The children worked odd jobs and received pennies as pay which they took to school to the teacher to help buy a war bond.

All I can tell you about Schrader's background is that he was born in Bortfeld, Germany. He was born in 1903 so he would have been about 11 by the time WWI hit. Depending on how far back you consider "childhood", it was either normal or he grew up during the war. If you're assuming the formative years, I'll assume normal.

While the story is fictional, the depiction of World War 2 in the movie is considered the best ever.  It is the most accurate depiction of what really happened, unlike what video games depict.

Hi there, \n\nThe Second World War went on for 6 years from 1939 - 1945.\nIt caused a great man and machine loss for the humanity. People suffered, rich countries turned poor, poor countries turned poorer, and the poorer countries had nothing left after the war.\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

Yeah they died. And on the homefront there were homefront commandos, Rosie the Riveter, war bonds, gas rationing, tobacco rationing, meat rationing, rubber rationing, metal rationing, grease recycling, $1-a-yr CEO salaries, victory gardens, and a draft.\n\nToday the armchair warriors say "WELL I PUT A STICKER ON MY SUV! WHAT MORE CAN A MAN DO?"

Well ,it depends on what your status was. If you were a slave, it was pretty bad, if you were from the North it depended on how high in society your parents were. In the South, things were generally kind of rough for everybody. Also, just about everybody knew someone who was in the war, and it was especially difficult for the people who had relatives/friends on both sides of the war.

Pros: \n-A sense of pride and purpose to your life. No matter what your role, you're making a real contribution. \n-A chance to train for a career that may transfer to civilian life\n-A chance to get an education for free\n-A real resume builder, especially if you do well, get promoted, and also get a college degree\n-Cameraderie and friendship\n-Respect for your service by most civilians. Again, resume builder!\n-Steady pay check\n-There may be travel. My dad was stationed in Germany and in Greece, and he got to tourist around a bit. \n\nAnd for those who aren't sure about where their life is headed, or who are drifting, it will give your life focus. \n\nCons: \n-A lack of freedom. You can't do what you want, when you want to. \n-Having to follow orders\n-Being seen, by some civilians, as the mouthpiece of the US government and its policies\n-A lack of understanding, by employers, of what your role equates to in civilian life, once you separate from the service and try to get a civilian job.\n-A "boy's club" type of environment. Sexism and homophobia are more overt than in many civilian careers, although this is constantly evolving.\n-Low pay\n-Stress on family life due to moves and deployments\n-Risk of death and serious injury

World War II was the thing on everyone's mind. The Holocost was taking place. People didn't have televisions in their homes, but they listened to the radio a lot.\n\nCasablanca was the big movie of the year, and Bing Crosby came out with the song "White Christmas" \n\nMany women were working in factories while the men were overseas. Until WWII, most women stayed at home. This was the creation of the undercurrent of the women's movement that came in the 60s.\n\nThe Grand Coulee Dam was finished in Washington state.\n\nFranklin D. Roosevelt was president.\n\nThe Alaska Highway was completed in October of that year. It was 1,523 miles long.\n\nThe brilliant scientist, Stephen Hawking was born that year.\n\nHarvard University chemist Louis F. Fieser invented napalm, a jelly-like mixture of gasoline and palm oils that sticks to its target until it burns out.\n\n\nThe title "United Nations" was first used to describe the allied pact.\n\nThe population of the US was 134,859,553.\n\n\nThe Federal spending:   $35.14 billion\nFederal debt:   $79.2 billion\n\nA first class stamp cost 3 cents.\n\nHow Green Was My Valley wont the Academy Award for Best Picture.\n\nRCA Victor sprayed gold over Glenn Miller's million-copy-seller Chattanooga Choo Choo, creating the first "gold record."\n\nIs this enough?

I don't understand your question?  Would like to help, but what, exactly, is your question?\n------------------------------------------------------------\n\nYou have not responded, therefore, I am going to take a stab at what I think you might be thinking of.  During "The Golden Era" of Hollywood filmmaking, famous director, Frank Capra created a series of movies called the "Why We Fight" series.  They were super-patriotic films illustrating the many reasons on the homefront and the war front why our troops/country were involved in WW II.\n\nSo, I am going to guess that your expected answer is:\nthe "Why We Fight" series of movies.  Hope that helps.

Military families are well taken care of. They get free healthcare and prescriptions and free living quarters with utilities paid. If they live off post they get additional money for living expenses. My husband has been in for 16 years and he loves his job and his duties as a soldier. He has so many awards, I can't even count them. Some people choose to be a soldier because that's what they want to be in life.
