The article explains how war disruptions hit the Sonneberg German doll trade, shifting production to the United States with new indestructible wooden dolls. It notes Germany’s dominance in bisque heads and mechanical features, French dolls’ limited output, and the wartime squeeze on wages. It describes Doll Land in Thuringia, child labor, long hours, and meager pay, with families earning only a few dollars weekly.
