First you must understand that there was no Birth Control pill during and after World War 2. The pill came along after the baby boom. From 1945 to 1964 millions of men and women married and had lots of children. The reason the pattern continued so long was because the Korean War occorred so soon after World War 2. The joy of men returning from war and getting married or returning to their wives resulted in a lot of pregnancies. Once the pill came along in the latter part of the Sixties the women of childbearing age started using them and the population boom stopped.
