OK it's roll film, but still interesting from a historic viewpoint

With the shortages going on at the time, I wonder how civilians could justify the expense of color photography and how the wartime economy could supply non-strategic products like color film?
Perhaps color photography was deemed important for morale on the home front?
Or did it preserve silver, which would have been a strategic commodity?

Interesting!!! I also liked the link at the bottom of the page for the vintage WA "selfies"...
I wondered why some writers call the Europe War a "B/W War", but the Pacific was "color", but the gloom of winter weather would lend itself to B/W... (But lotsa German color early...) But the South Pacific had the light & colors (and often the USMC 8X10 Kodachromes), but many important B/W's, like Rosenthal's famous shot, but...
I'm confused... I better stop listening to the writers... :-(
