1940s USA - Life During WW2 in Vintage America - Colorized

Today, we embark on an emotional journey back to wartime. While the world watched, America seemed to stand on the sidelines in the early days of World War II.

However, everything changed when Japan unexpectedly attacked Pearl Harbor. This event marked the turning point that thrust America into the heart of the conflict.

How did this impact Americans? Who were the brave soldiers who later joined this global war? And who were their loved ones, anxiously awaiting the return of their men?

Although the war didn't unfold directly on American soil, it profoundly influenced the daily lives of everyone.

In this video, we share raw footage from that time, now brought to life in color. Not every detail is perfectly colored, but these images still offer a captivating glimpse into the past.

Let's learn from history and explore together the impact of World War II on America. A journey full of emotion and history that you won't want to miss.

I wish we had the same spirit and unity we had back then today.

These photos are priceless. The numerous sacrifices the Greatest Generation made to win the war against tyranny must never be forgotten. It's sad to think that fewer and fewer of these people are still living. It's refreshing to see that more and more people are recording interviews with soldiers from the Second World War so that their stories can be shared with future generations.

One of the saddest times yet the greatest time of unity for our great nation . I cry now for what this country has become and for what2 all those brave men and women fought for and died for . Absolutely disgraceful nowadays 😢.

Kudos. At &7:10 or so, Kingsville Field is now NAS Kingsville. They were the advanced training base for fighter and dive bomber pilots. We used to find intact dummy bombs to the south area of Kingsville. Kingsville and NAS Kingsville, is about 50 miles outside of Corpus Christi, and located in Kleberg County and not Nueces County. Not complaining, just adding info to your doc.

We were better looking back then. Svelte and stylish people.

All of my relatives either served in the armed forces, or worked in factories. We never quite saw this before, and may never again.

Oh my god, it’s so beautiful and moving! I have tears in my eyes. Thank you to all these people. Their descendants should be proud of what they did in these difficult times. Hugs from France. 💐🗼🗽

At 9:12 there's a pic of two women at Marinship, Cali. The woman on the right has an arrow penned onto her hand pointing at her wedding band (I assume it wasn't a tattoo). Was that a thing back then?

[trishr]

It would be interesting to see an episode on what American Women did to support the War effort. Rosie the Riveter, Victory Gardens, Etc etc.

Why they can't get the colors right is beyond me.
