Illustrations

This is a great article. I thought we might want to have some period illustrations -- ration books (I have my wife's grandfather's), posters, or wartime propaganda aimed at the home front. Here is one example which might be great to have:

Wartime advertisement for saving grease

There are a few others like this -- including one, rather disturbing, hailing grease as "rat poison" against the Japanese "rat" -- at the Ad Access site at Duke University.Russell Potter 22:13, 5 June 2007 (CDT)

I agree that posters are great. See D'Ann Campbell's [my spouse!] powerpoint lecture using WW2 posters at [1] CZ is college level and we can and should handle strong stuff--as Dower points out re ww2 in pacific, US and Japan both used nasty images. Richard Jensen 23:22, 5 June 2007 (CDT)
Richard, thanks for the link to the Powerpoint -- most impressive! My personal favorite was "You Can't Ration Love". There's a rich array of material to choose from, enough to support this and other future entries on this era, and all the goverment-produced stuff is, I believe, copyright-free!
