Just realised that the US flag in the diplomacy screen is incorrect, it shows the current 50 star flag, whereas the 48 star flag is the historically accurate one (Hawaii & Alaska only joined the union in 1959/60). A silly correction request I know, and I suspect many WW2 games have the same mistake, but since it is prominent in the diplomacy screen area, it show up more clearly than most.
BTW, just discovered this on XTRG's excellent TEAW PBEM let's play, whose playlist can be found here (I'm assuming he's playing the latest version):
