&quot;World War II M&amp;Ms&quot;

"World War II M&Ms"

Title: "World War II M&Ms"
Description: "The Red Cross provided goods such as M&M's to soldiers in the 1940s. You can view this original wrapper in "American Enterprise."
Creator: Sean Jacobson, an employee at the Smithsonian Museum of American History, has compiled several images that highlight the role of chocolate during World War II. In addition, he supplements the Smithonian’s archival images with family images of his grandfather’s time in the service. I found this source through the Smithsonian website. I searched, “images,” “Hershey,” and “WWII.” This source includes many unique images that have been compiled from several other Smithsonian collections.
