In the last post, I wrote about the U.S. government wanting fingerprints of persons working in the milk industry in DeKalb County, Illinois.
From the July 8, 2015 History Daily "FBI's Colossal Fingerprint Filing System During World War II" by John Titor.
A whole lot of photos of interest. Out wartime government in big-time action.
During the war, the FBI collected over 23 million cards and 10 million fingerprint records and housed them in the Washington, D.C. Armory. Every month around 400,000 cards were added to the collection. It took huge resources to investigate potential defectors and spies in the United States.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
