I find these articles interesting. When I was a little boy I remember so well sitting before a radio listen to the war news of WW2, use to scare the dickens out of me, blankets over the windows, no lights allowed anywhere in the house. I was just a wee little boy but remember it so well.

Thanks!

Thank you sir. I have been posting these articles more or less since January 2008. Yours is the first contribution I recall that gives an actual first-hand account of the time. A wee little boy’s notwithstanding.

I love the article about the political conventions...

The Dems didn’t even want to mention the fact that FDR was running for an unprecedented Third Term... they, just marched on with it...

I also love how, the Republicans were saying, “the NEW DEAL is following a worldwide trend toward National Socialism”... and they didn’t want to give up on the American system. I’ve often wondered whether people at the time realized that they were embracing Socialism... I guess, they were... and, just didn’t care.

Sort of like today... :-(
