Conversaciones históricas REWIN | En el frente doméstico del condado de Montgomery durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial

In the early 1940s, all across the country, we were swing dancing to the music of Glenn Miller. Starlets like Ginger Rogers and Mary Martin, were lighting up the silver screen. Esquire magazine featured Petty girls. Gasoline was about 20 cents a gallon, bread about 8 cents a loaf, and a movie cost a quarter. And there was a war going on. Here in Montgomery County, people were affected by the war in a myriad of ways. Through interviews with people who were there, learn how Montgomery County residents supported the war effort, dealt with food shortages, entertained troops, protected civilians, and managed the labor shortage during this challenging time in our history.
