Did US soldiers make jewelry during World War 2?

%REPLIES%%DETAILS% Answer They not only made jewelry, but something else called Trench Art. It has become very colllectible as time goes by. The practice started in World War I and continues today.

Here is a web page that shows some Trench Art. You can also go to Google. Com and type in trench art and get many hits slcollectibles.com/trenchart.htm Answer some dead Japanese soldiers had a lot of gold teeth, some gi's would take the butt of their rifle and smash it out of their mouths and collect those.

I heard tell of some collecting ears from dead soldiers. Nasty little trophys.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
