American music during World War II

Wartime radio is a genre of music that was enjoyed during the late 1930s through mid 1940s. After the end of World War II, this music escalated until the paranoia of the Cold War made this kind of music irrelevant after the Soviet menace (under Joseph Stalin) replaced the Nazi menace (under Adolf Hitler). One notable example of wartime radio songs is the iconic World War II song Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. Swing music is also another notable example of wartime radio music. Lawrence Welk would later play this kind of music on The Lawrence Welk Show.
