What was not available during world war 2?

Foods were rationed because they needed the food for the fighting warriors and for the United Kingdom.Tires were rationed because they needed the rubber for the military vehicles and other things.Gasoline was severely rationed because the "war machine" used hundreds of thousands of gasoline daily.Clothing was limited so the uniforms and shoes and field gear could be made.Metals were limited because they went to building the vessels and machines for war.Antibiotics and other medical supplies were rationed to the hospitals and pharmacies so the men overseas could get what they needed. Blood was scarce in the blood banks but people lined up around buildings to donate blood for the US home front and the war front.Now on a more interesting note: They did not have jet planes, global positioning techniques because there were no satellites nor did they have computers! They did not have television, cell phones, but they did have teletype and telegraph and radio.

What products did World War 2 ration books have coupons for?

OK some of the products were stockings, shoes, food ( eggs,sugar,coffee,meats)and gas. That's about all i know In Great Britain everything was rationed because the Germans had so imperiled trans-Atlantic shipping and obviously for the war effort. By the Way stocking were rationed because the silk was used as bags for holding propellant for field artillery shells. The silk cut down on sparks which would cause propellant to blow up. Shoes were rationed due to the obvious need for shoe leather for military boots and shoes.
