During the war many people who werent soldiers found ways to help out. For example, women had to give up the jobs to work in factories and produce weapons, planes, and ships etc. They also provided the soldiers with clothing and socks. They struggled with working in factories and also having to go home and do their own house work. While the little boys gathered scrapped metal or candy wrappers to recycle for the weapons. Other than working in factories they had rationing which meant that they couldnt buy things they wanted to buy.
Cars had to be made out of zinc instead of copper. In 1870, few factories had over 500 workers, but by the 1900s, more than 1,000 factories had between 500 to 1,000 workers. American workers produced more goods, more cheaply, but in less time.
In June, 1942, British, Soviet Union, and the US, had 11600 aircrafts while Germany had 3700 aircrafts and By december 1944 British, US, and Soviets aircrafts increased to 42,500 aircrafts and German's to 8500 aircrafts.

This picture represents how the women are part of the contribution to the war, by observing the picture, the woman is trying to show her aggressiveness to give people courage to fight for their country because before, women were not working, but since the men had to go to war, women had to start working, so she's showing that everyone should give support and do their best.
