Does anyone know good questions to ask for a interview with someone who was on the homefront in WWII?

You could ask them about how perceptions of women changed (how they viewed themselves as well as how others came to view them) as they scrambled to fill the domestic job openings left by the men who went off to fight overseas.\n\nAlso, did s/he feel compelled to take a "patriotic" job with the defense industry or something that benefited the nation's war effort?  If s/he didn't, why not?  If s/he did, what did the person end up doing?  Did they feel they were helping out their country?\n\nDid they ever worry what might happen if their homeland got invaded (I'm assuming you're asking North Americans or UK people)?  Would they have been ready to take up whatever arms they had and try to repel the invasion, even if there wasn't much hope?\n\nAfter the war started, how long did they think it would take to end?\n\nWas rationing effective or did too many people just gyp the system in one way or another (bribery, hoarding, etc.)?\n\nWhat sacrifices did they make so that they could help out the soldiers?\n\nDid they buy war/liberty bonds?  Did they worry about the massive federal deficits?\n\nHope this helps out.

my grandfather served in Europe during WWII. he was part of the liberation of Dachau. he told me that you could smell the odor of burning flesh from miles away. he saw the ovens. he saw the surviving victims starved within an inch of their lives. so starved that a normal meal would kill them. they took German soldiers (including officers) into custody. they described what their duties were. it was absolutely horrific. my grandfather is neither a liar, nor a senile old man telling tales. these things happened. anyone who says they didnt is either deluded or diseased.

this answer is to your other question.. the one about being home invaded. \ni was hom invaded about  a year and a half ago, July 17, 2004 to be exact. i will never forget that date. it was a horrible experience, i was 13 years old and 4 men wnet inside my aunts house with big guns, they stayed ther for about two hours, searching the entire house for jewels, money, etc. when they were leaving they tied us up so that we couldnt see in what car they left. \nit was a horrible experience but we delt with it by talking between us, about how we felt, we said what we wre scared about, and got new security for the house, we bought new locks, and we prayed a lot. i went to therapy, to a psycologist who helped me with my fears and my trouble sleeping. i know what a horrible experience it can be and hope ypou lots of luck.

I am an Army brat. My dad is now a retired Lt Col. I've been to Ft. Meade in Maryland, El Toro in California, Keflavik in Iceland, Ramstein in Germany (which I am now at stationed in the Air Force), Mildenhall in England, and Ft. Lewis in Washington. I'm glad that your dad is coming home to you soon. Hope he enjoys his short break from the desert. God bless!

Best bet is if you know what units they were assigned to, do a search on those units.  \n\nI come from a military family, found a wealth of information on the Navy, Army Air Corps, and Army from WWII, Army - Korea, Brown Water Navy - Nam, by searching those.  Included were refrernces to my relatives by name.  Even found my own name from Grenada and Desert Storm.  \n\nExample:  8th AF (Uncle Served WWII, B-17 pilot decorated postumously), USS Cobia, WWII:  Uncle Served on four combat cruises, USS Kitty Hawk (Same Uncle Commanded this vessel), 554 River Division: Uncle Served two combat tours), Swift Boats:  Cousin Served (OIC, WIA, Feb 28 1969), and more.\n\nI even found the inscription from my grandfathers headstone   in the military cemetary where he is burried.  \n\nHope this helps and happy hunting

I would keep trying to contact someone at Ft. Bragg until you get some information. He has to be on a data base there somewhere. Good luck.

World War II: The Impact at Home\n\nThe quick fall of France to the German army in 1940 shook the strong pacifist sentiment of the American public. Suddenly, Great Britain alone stood between Nazi Germany and the United States. Once the United States was fully committed to the war in December of 1941, patriotism soared in American society. Americans' willingness to carry out blackout and civil defense drills; to recycle metals, paper, and even cooking fats; to work longer hours, but to have fewer consumer goods to buy with their salaries demonstrated the nation's strong support for the war. There were political changes as well, as the country began to shift to the right. \n\nhttp://us.history.wisc.edu/hist102/lectures/lecture21.html\n\nWhat effects did WWII have on women in America?\n\nWomen began to do the jobs that the men used to do. They worked in factories, steel mills, and on fighter planes. A woman who worked in an industrial or manufacturing job was refered to as "Rosy the Riviter".\n\nWomen married earlier in life, had more children and relied much less on their husbands after the war. The divorce rate in the United States and Britain skyrocketed, compared to previous years. Women held higher paying jobs than in pre-war years, and this caused some conflict when men were discharged from the military and wanted their old jobs back, which were now held by women.\n\nWomen went into the workplace and never looked back. They took over factory jobs, drove trucks, flew military aircraft across the Atlantic Ocean to England, and numerous other jobs that had traditionaly been open only to men. Once the men returned from the war the women were more independant than ever and would never be content to sit at home again.\n\nWomen played the role of helping fabricate weapons and bombs and all the equipment the soldiers would need. Women never set foot on the battle field but they also were nurses and assistants and that helped alot since they needed medical treatments\n\nhttp://www.faqfarm.com/Q/What_effects_did_WWII_have_on_women_in_America
