Yep...... War Babies I would say 1935-1945 half a generation or so

I made a mistake before. Trump is 72, 1946 so he is in fact a boomer.

After the war there was a boom in babies

A Generation is usually considered to be about 25 years.

The WAR BABIES are about from '38/'39-to early '46; or a year later to start with and an earlier ending. It's a confusing time period ( wartime usually is! ) and naming generations started with the BOOMERS!

That whole "SILENT GENERATION" is a newish thing and NEVER included most of the WAT BABIES, who were just ignored by those who made that name up.
