During World War II, even if the wealth and wealth were as strong as the US military, the rear still had to tighten the belt and give priority to the supply of materials for the frontline soldiers. From that era when all the people are soldiers, we can also see some moving breath. Beginning in December 1941, the U.S. military announced operational orders against the Axis powers.
Beginning in April 1942, North America began to implement the strategy of limited supply of sugar, and the next month will increase the scale of limited supply of commodities, including milk and beef. At that time, the voucher system was implemented, and the residents could buy the necessities of life with the voucher in their hands. In this regard, almost all the people in North America responded, and few complaints circulated.
By the end of 1942, North America felt like it had returned to the Great Depression. It was difficult to meet the needs of ordinary families with coupons. It took ten days for urban residents to drink milk and eat beef. It takes only half a month to have a chance. Compared with the luncheon meat that the front-line US military is tired of eating, it is a rare delicacy in China.
When became available, the ticket system and limited supply caused the emergence of the black market. When the residents have used up their tickets, in order to meet their daily needs, they will buy some items from the black market. Although the black market has been rectified many times, it remained a tacit secret in civilian life until the end of World War II.
Not only that, but there have also been many initiatives to support frontline activities in North America. For example, the silk stockings worn by women are the supplies needed by paratroopers. For this reason, almost all American streets were on the streets during World War II. I can't see anyone wearing stockings, and a large number of stockings have been supplied to the front lines of the US military.
Of course, in addition to limited supply, North America has also launched an alternative mass production campaign. Because a large number of laborers joined the army, the output of agricultural products fell sharply. For this reason, starting from the end of 1942, North America began to promote the so-called "family garden".
The flowers and plants in the park are removed,Even the family garden has been revisited, and everyone is actively working to grow potatoes or lettuce in their garden to meet the needs of the family. By the end of 1944, the vegetables produced on the family farm not only met domestic demand, but also many fresh vegetables were sent to the frontline.
