      Did everyday Germans largely experience the war in the same way as everyday Americans? Or were their experiences mostly different? Did home front Japan resemble in meaningful ways home front Great Britain? Or were the differences between the home fronts more important than any similarities? Such questions are at the heart of Paper Two. In this paper, you are to compare the home front experiences of the Axis powers with the home front experiences of the Allied powers. Were they similar—and if so, in what important ways? Were they different—and if so, in what important ways? Finally, are the (possible) similarities more important than the (possible) differences? In short, the paper is asking you to answer the following question: can we speak of a common home front experience in the Second World War?
