The Three Wisemen gaze at the Star of Bethlehem in wonder in this 1944 WWII war bond poster. It was very likely displayed close to Christmas, with the implication that buying war bonds in lieu of presents would be the best choice that year. In America during WWII, every resource was poured into the war effort. With over 12 million Americans - 11% of the total population - serving in the armed forces, everything from food to labor was tight on the Home Front. War Bonds were another popular way for the Home Front to contribute to the War Over There. A staggering 80 million Americans purchased war bonds during WWII.
