Wow, a time where there was actually a need for a war, not just some president (no names) unofficially declaring it. The people on here who mentioned the persecution of the Jews by Nazi Germany forgot one thing -- it was also in the 40s that Nazi Germany fell and the surviving Jews were liberated. France was freed from German control. Hitler killed himself. The Nuremberg Trials were completed. Big band music ruled. Soldiers were considered brave and their home-comings were celebrated, not scorned. World War II lasted for 2,174 days and claimed one death every 3 seconds. It was a long, bloody war, but we should be damn proud that we were the victors. The 40s, put simply, ruled.
