When the War Came to Australia



War Documentary with no narration published by ABC in 1991 - English language







Information

------------------------------



This four part series, as seen on ABC TV, tells the story from the point of view of ordinary Australians on the Home Front during World War II. Personal recollections, rare archival footage and the music of the time combine to create an evocative and haunting picture of this unique picture in Australian history.

This social history of the impact of World War II on Australia focuses on how the war was greeted on the homefront; the reaction to the arrival of the Americans; the fears generated by the bombing of Darwin and Japanese submarines in Sydney Harbour; the PoW experience; and the roles and challenges the war presented to women. Although more Australians were killed in the World War I than in World War II, many more Australians were directly affected by the World War II. It continued two years longer, it was closer to home, the enemy actually attacked Australian soil and greater demands were made upon the economy.

This ABC television series contains the recollections of hundreds of people interviewed about their feelings and experiences of war in Australia. \"When the War Came to Australia\" presents the shared experiences of millions of Australians who did not serve overseas, but contributed in their own ways to the war effort.

3)  Saviours, Heroes, Lovers: Our New Allies 

The Yanks are here! \"Over paid! Over sexed! And Over here!\" The Yanks arrived in their tens of thousands, initially receiving a warm welcome \"Down Under\". Australians breathe a sigh of relief and welcome them into their homes and their lives. Australian women are charmed by their uniforms and gifts of nylon stockings, but the Australian men resent them and their success. Conflict was inevitable in the streets of Sydney and Brisbane. General McArthur takes over the Pacific war, becoming the Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in the Pacific and inspires the country. Normal life is put on hold as the men are away fighting in the Pacific and North Africa and the women work longer hours. Life in Australia became grim as rationing of essential items began to restrict everyday activities. Life is very hard with little leisure. Surely it was meant to be better than this?
