Also wondering how non-resistant people responded to one of the biggest propaganda efforts of the USA.

Ernie,
^^Did you have a second link?
(In my mind) there are at least 2 categories involved with propaganda, the first deliberately demonizes the stated enemy,
the second is not aggressive in the same way, but represents a war effort of supporting troops (who, esp in times of drafts) are pawns in the games. Even if willing pawns.
To add some perspective about bread .. think of it, no sliced bread until 1928:
“The Complete History Of Sliced Bread”

^^WWII / 1943 / Bread in another war effort: “The FDA bans the manufacturing of sliced bread”
“A Baker's Dozen of Bread Wrappers”
