I'm in Band of Brothers fandom, and before that I was in Captain America comics and Agent Carter, and boy there is A LOT of WWII stuff, especially American stuff out there.
I really love Archive.org's WWII collection which has period magazines, army field manuals, and all kinds of good stuff.
If you're doing someone's childhood, the WPA commissioned guidebooks to a lot of cities and states. Here's one to New York.
You can also get a lot of period novels that are still in copyright through the affiliated Open Library. Like this lesbian memoir, or this account of growing up poor and Jewish on the Lower East Side.
