Movies that are set during the years of World War II, in which the war itself plays a role in the action and/or characters. Suprisingly, there are several. Unfortunately, I haven't seen all of them (particularly those from the Soviet Union), so the list will grow over time. (Please comment and tell me of any titles you know of that I haven't included yet.)

      Thanks for the comment, jakubski. Although Chaplin created The Great Dictator in response to the danger and destructiveness of the Nazis and Fascists in Europe, I can't say that the movie was "set" during World War II or portrayed the war itself or its effects on people (though it is a brilliant and powerful satire of events in Europe and a clear warning of the threat they posed to free societies throughout the world). Cheers!
