So who made money in World War Two?
The Bush family, the DuPont family, Standard Oil, Ford, and more.

Well, they made a living, but for the most part no more than a living. --- BobCeleste
My parents were typical, --- during the war they both worked at well paying jobs unavailable before the war, and saved enough to buy a house on a few acres..
BIG step up for them... And for millions like them. Our new neighborhood (formerly small farms), was subdivided and hundreds of homes were built, most by do it yourselfers from their wartime savings..

Yup, they went from ten years of hopeless depression to building a future for themselves and their children.

From what my father told me, in Minnesota the depression wasn't that hopeless. My brothers were born in '31 and '33, I in '36, and while my father never had a 'good' job, we never lacked for anything essential.
But after the war, by golly, we were 'rich'! (I wish) ---
