WWII US Homefront US Navy Sweater
World War Two was a period when the united States came together to fight a common threat. After the
attack of Pearl harbor there was fear among the citizens. The possibility existed that the Japanese
could attack the mainland. Food and fuel rationning were in place. The factories were kicked in
high gear to produce the arsenal of democracy. Men volunteered for the armed services. Women went to
work at the factories.
The items that were manufcatured for civilian consumption and use during this time period are known as
'homefront items'. Companies produced a wide array of products that families could send to their loved
ones fighting at the front. Some of the items manufactured include earrings, banners, jewelry, and
many trickets that would have the branch of the armed service or war propaganda.
