I'm not sure if anyone else has posted this, but if you're near Paris, you can go check out this exhibit. It runs through November 15.
Ration-book chic goes on show in Paris
Exhibition reveals how women in the fashion capital ingeniously stayed stylish under Nazi occupation
As the recession takes its toll on women's wardrobes, France's frugal fashionistas are scavenging for ideas from one of the most intriguing Paris exhibitions of the year.
The museum of the resistance hero Jean Moulin is hosting France's first exhibition of fashion trends of women under the Nazi occupation. The collection of more than 400 *accessories – from hats made from scraps of cellophane to cosmetics that made bare legs look like stockings – tells the story of Paris's dark years between 1940 and 1944.

Maybe they'll have an exhibit catalog available (though it'll probably cost a small fortune...)?
