1940 -1950 (jan 1, 1940 – dec 31, 1949)

Description:

When America entered the European war against Hitler's Nazi Germany, Europeans had already been embattled for four years and news of the war had spread around the world. In a time before television, people relied on newspapers, radio, and documentary “newsreels” in movie theaters for information about current events. These media rarely captured the human side of war, so people turned to movies and to the magazines to find the drama of both military and civilian wartime situations.
