Thanks Homer... Interesting to see STRIKING miners.. even during the war efforts.. and, good ol Harold Ickes Sr dithering and doing not much of anything..
Also, early reports of mass killings of Jews...
And the not-so-exciting, or well known.. early stagings in the Pacific.
Amazing, still... how LONG this all took.

I cannot imagine striking miners getting much sympathy from all the moms, dads and wives who have loved ones dying overseas.

In the context of history, the global breadth and scope of this war was unprecedented. And may never be seen again. Not so much how long it took, but rather that all of the world mobilized for it and how the battlefields ebbed and flowed across so much of the earth’s surface in four or five short years.
It was a war that began in 1939 with biplanes and cavalry charges. In 1945 it ended with jet fighters and nuclear weapons.
