A lengthy question, but maybe someone will be able to help me with the answers I am looking for.

During world war two (1939-1945), were people living in occupied countries e.g. Holland, France, Belguim, Denmark, Norway etc. able to visit restaurants, cinemas, theatres, concerts, dance halls.

Was there a postal system available to citizens of occupied countries?

Was a train and 'bus service maintained between occupied countries?

Did any airline continue to provide a passenger service, if yes, from where to where?

Was travel permitted between occupied countries?

What about telephone calls?

During WW2 was there any popular music broadcast by the Occupying Powers before they started confiscating radios?

What, for example, were the most popular "songs of the day" say during 1940, during 1942 and during 1945.

A lengthy question, but maybe someone will be able to help me with the answers I am looking for.
