Hi Hive account@mitarticle, you are mentioning about a tulip mania in the 1940s. What exactly do you mean by that? The tulip mania I've heard of was in the 1600s see wiki. The only tulip related thing I know of happening in the 1940s was the hunger winter of 1944 -1945, when the Dutch were forced to eat tulip bulbs due to the lack off food in WWII see wiki.
