The Home Front and the Everyday Routine of War

The war is a fight for survival both for the soldiers and the folks at home. The state’s war assistance for families only covers basic necessities and many women have to earn extra money - as street workers or ticket collectors, but also in munitions factories, where they slave for up to 13 hours a day. Added to this is the constant anxiety over food. Due to the poor supply situation - partly as a result of the British sea blockade – all major food is soon rationed and only issued in small quantities. Those who can, forage in the country. Famine reaches a peak in the "turnip winter" of 1916/17. By war’s end, around 700,000 in the German Reich have died of hunger, or the results of malnutrition. mehr weniger
