[or-roots] Memories of WWII

[Harguess, Dale]

I can one up this one.  

My uncle worked for Walt Disney during and after the war.  He liberated
several of those old films and used to show them to all the family and
friends in the 50's.  Later he and a couple of his friends from the
studio put together their own film with clips from the war and animation
and lots of goofy stuff.  It was a riot.  I don't know what ever
happened to that movie but it would be a treasure to someone now.
Probably disintegrated because of the type of film they used to use.

Cecil:  We must be of the same generation.  I, too, remember the War
years, and I have Victory at Sea also. Really worth it.  I also managed
to get a Special Set from Disney called "Victory Through Air Power" by
Alexander De Severski. it's animated by Disney, also has a bunch of War
time Disney Cartoons, and some propaganda shorts about conserving for
the War.

	There are many things that I remember about WWII, but today my
letter flipper (mail man), dropped the 2 DVD, 26 epasodes (12 hours
total), of "Victory At Sea" through my mail slot.  A very great buy!

	 

	I remember rationing, and the day I spilled a new 5 pound bad of
sugar in the wood shed.  Yikes!

	 

	I remember the really bad synthetic rubber ballons produced near
the end of WWII.  We didn't have to pay for them until you inflated them
and they didn't break (Foster, Or, general store).

	 

	I remember the GI's who took a rest break in our barn.... That I
almost burned down a few years later.
