I admit among my fascinations is the popular culture during World War II. A couple of books I've read have gone into that, and I've picked up other interesting tidbits (eg, a Gallup poll in early 1940 which revealed that ``World War II'' was the only popular name anyone in the United States had; there were attempts to give it a different name, none of which even feigned catching on), but do look to learn more.
I do know that the war's declaration was greeted more with this strange resignation than enthusiasm or fear, particularly compared to the outbreaks of World War I, at least according to secondary and tertiary sources interested in making that comparison.
