Historical Note
World War II or the Second World War (1939-1945) was a global war between the Allies and Axis, directly involving scores of countries. "World War II changed everything in Indiana, sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently. The necessities of war--the overwhelming need to defeat the Axis--set the boundries that shaped lives...The lives most disrupted by war were those of the Hoosier men and women who served in the military forces."
