How about a Home Front Forum?
For example, with us Brits the Firemen who fought the fires in the bombing raids & the men who dealt with the UXB's. Life in general in those dark days of 1940 to the breaking of the news of the second front.
America coming out of the depression wondering should they be dragged in to another European war. The shocking news of Japans attack bringing America in the war and how they Brock war production records.
Well you get the picture.
