This week we got to read some WW2 letters and how they would communicate through writing. We read articles about news & censorship, diaries, and propaganda. I liked how the letters would help the soldiers and encourage them to continue fighting for their county. They really needed these letters because it was their way of coming out of the violence around them. Some of the letters would just be to help the soldiers catch up on what’s going on outside of the war along with giving and receiving updates about literally anything. Back then the only way people would get news would be from newspapers, radios, and sometimes the letters the soldiers would write. This must have been very stressful for the people because not only were their friends or loved ones in war, but they didn’t as good technology as we do now so not everyone had access to the knowledge of what is going on around them.
