IIRC the winters in '47 and '48 were bloody cold and the period '40-'45 saw a massive increase in burning of hydro-carbons as industry ramped up and air forces burnt the petrol. Indeed there are plenty of wartime photographs of snow bound airfields as well.
Environmentalists can offer no suggestions why there was no corresponding increase in global mean surface temperatures.
