Slightly unrelated, but I used to have a link to an historical article (kicking myself for having lost that link) about Pearl Harbor and how the GIs would have died without blood transfers from the sex workers whom the GIs otherwise treated shitty (like in the original novel of <i>From Here to Eternity</i>, which had <b>A LOT</b> of glorious gayness in it).

Note that the linked article perpetuates an inaccuracy I've seen repeatedly with reference to these photos. The gun they're staffing is designed to shoot at ships, not planes (out rather than up). So they were probably not responding to an air raid, but to the sighting of a possible enemy ship. See the comments (and a delightful bonus picture of the soldiers getting made up by their colleagues) here: https://www.vintag.es/2020/01/soldiers-in-drag.html

Dazzle was very in, in 1940. I mean, just look at how they painted that long, thick gun.

Looks like the pilot for “It Ain’t Half Hot Mum”

  Indeed, none of these censored photos will come as any surprise whatsoever to the British public.
  
  Most episodes just have the one cross-dressing soldier, as I recall. For maximum frock-age I'd go for Forbidden Fruits episode from series 2.

Patton was right. We defeated the wrong enemy.
