By all accounts, 1940 was a year of tremendous upheaval and tumultuous change. Hitler’s war machine was steamrolling through Europe, crushing all who stood in his way with his blitzkrieg or “lightning war.” Stateside, the first peacetime drafting act (Selective Training and Service Act) was put into place, meaning that all men between ages 21 and 36 had to register for possible military service. The television network CBS demonstrated the first color TV system in New York City. And on the West Coast, the first freeway (Arroyo Seco Parkway) in the United States was cleared to open for service in Los Angeles.
