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."

Madison, James H., "Hoosiers at War: An Overview of Indiana during World War II" Traces of Indiana and Midwestern History, a publication of the Indiana Historical Society, Fall 1991, Volume 3, Number 4.
