My parents lived near a USA transit camp and after the war Dad was building a kitchen and needed a sink so went the the abandoned camp. He found a sink but also a box of chocolate. What a luxury and everyone ate some. They all found out it was Exlax!
I wonder if I can get that radio program in Australia? I was born in the last year of the war, 1945, so I remember all the songs, the slogans, and rationing, which ended when I was 8.
