Archive of WWII pamphlets for GIs re: post-war life
Hat tip: Hell in a Handbasket
According to the introduction:
[T]he G.I. pamphlet series was prepared under the direction of the Armyâs Division of Information and Education between 1943 and 1945 âto increase the effectiveness of the soldiers and officers as fighters during the war and as citizens after the war.â
There are some great titles here that give insight as to what the Army felt weighed highly on GIs' minds, such as:
Is Your Health the Nation's Business?
Will the French Republic Live Again?
Can the Germans Be Re-educated?
The Balkans--Many Peoples, Many Problems
Can War Marriges Be Made to Work?
Do You Want Your Wife to Work After the War?
and
Will There Be a Plane in Every Garage?
