petroleum products are involved in making gunpowder, IIRC. this could kill two birds with one stone (so to speak)

As I recall, my Mother told me that during WW-II people were told to save all of their bacon fat and turn it in for the "War Effort" as it was used to make gunpowder.
Does anyone know how this was done?
Was it for small arms propellant or for the heavy artillery?
