Just wondering if any on here are of the age to tell me more about how
rationing worked during WWII? I have just heard stories from my parents
and grand-parents, remember seeing what was left of books of coupons
or something when I was pilfering through the "junk drawers" when I was
a kid, one of my favorite things to do then. What all exactly was rationed?
I understand rubber (tires), gas, even food, but would like to hear more.
Maybe give us younger folks some perspective on what it was really like.
I remember my mom telling me about some of the local kids who had been
playing with gunpowder, and injured themselves, concocting a story that
German spies had captured them and tortured them or something to that
effect - said folks all beat the bushes looking for Germans for awhile before
the kids fessed up.
