For the 1942-1945 seasons the default file in the game uses the real league totals for those seasons. If you want players like Ted Williams to remain in the league they will be playing in that environment.

So in the above scenario, if you are also using historical transactions, then regardless of whether you check the Miss Seasons Accdg to History box, Ted Williams we be will be "loaned" to a "team" called "military" and will miss the war seasons (and then later be "returned" to Boston). Manual edits would be required to keep him and others active through the war years.
Similarly, if historical transactions are enabled, the Retire Accdg to History checkbox will be ignored, and players will retire according to history.
Both of these seem to be, IMO, questionable design decisions that were implemented a few versions ago. Basically taking away functionality/options. (IOW, it used to be that you could play with historical txns but introduce some variables such as players
not missing seasons or
retiring according to history.
