    Wartime Photographic Activities and Records Resulting Therefrom Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/10/3/287/2742261/aarc_10_3_1q687m1553317472.pdf by guest on 25 September 2021 By DONALD C. HOLMES Library of Congress, Washington, B.C. ORLD WAR II was as much a war of photographs as of bul- lets. When the first war clouds appeared above the horizon, the WUnited States was as well equipped as any nation to utilize the potentialities of photography to the utmost. At the outbreak of World War I quite a different situation prevailed, for the United States at that time depended heavily on Europe for photographic equipment, particularly lenses, and for dyestuffs used in the manufacture of sensi- tive materials. Indeed, when we entered World War I there were only a few pounds of optical glass on hand and no facilities existed anywhere in this country for making more. Stocks of German dyes, even with the supplemental cargo of the German merchant submarine Deutschland, were exhausted long before war was declared.
