Reminds me of the “Thankful Villages” or the rarer “Doubly Thankful Villages” in the UK. The former for villages where none of the men died in WWI and the second where none of the men died in both wars. Kind of sobering when you realised that the majority of places suffered losses of their men.

I don’t think condoms were popularized in the 1930s.

Edit: Apparently they were around then and just began being mass-produced. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condom
