- Synopsis:
Unlike most accounts of World War II, this DVD focuses on the social and economic life of U.S. Citizens who for one reason or the other could not enlist for active duty in the armed forces. The civilian perspective presented here speaks of the hardships and pains the civilians endured while supporting the war effort from home.
Though the overseas war effort was staggering, the films you will view on this informative DVD set focus on the behind-the-scenes endeavors that took place in the United States during the war.
From growing better crops and educating youth to eating better, the films deal with the smallest of issues related to social and economic concerns. They also foster better understanding between various ethnic groups and honor the contribution of African Americans in the war effort. The films extend an invitation to women to join the Coast Guard and educate on the safety measures during an unlikely gas attack. The DVDs round off with an inspiring story about the services and activities of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
While the films are shot in black and white and contain few dramatized reenactments, the thorough content makes this set of DVDs a valuable source of information about the home front during World War II.- Studio:
