There is one thing for sure if the wives girlfriends mothers sisters aunts and grandmothers filling the hundreds of thousands of jobs that otherwise would not have had anyone to fill the slots the Allied forces could not have won.
We have a tendency to always think of the American women their sacrifices and hardships during that war, but the ladies of GB had a far more dangerous task. Many of whom ran underground railway networks to spirit folks out of danger zones. Many went deep behind the enemy lines on intelligence gathering missions. Knowing that if outed or caught it was certain death through torture.
I hate to turn this into something negative but every time I see a young female "(you can't hardly call them ladies anymore and they barely even fit the description of a woman)" whose complaining or protesting about some frivolous otherwise made up issue in many cases I can't help but think yeah if your grandmother or great aunt were here today she would set you straight in a heartbeat. this is not only limited to the female gender either a huge percentage of males are as bad if not worse.
I have the greatest admiration and respect for the women who serve behind the seances during times of war enduring the hardships of their men being gone having to take care of the home life by themselves and at the same time working in factories producing anything and everything required to hopefully allow their men to come home alive.
