There are thousands of films about
WWII.
World War II (WWII or WW2), also
known as the Second World War, was a global war that was
underway by 1939 and ended in 1945. It involved the vast
majority of the world's nations—including all of the
great powers—eventually forming two opposing military
alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most
widespread war in history, with more than 100 million
people serving in military units. In a state of "total
war", the major participants placed their entire
economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities at the
service of the war effort, erasing the distinction
between civilian and military resources. Marked by mass
deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust and the
only use of nuclear weapons in warfare, it resulted in
50 million to over 75 million fatalities. These deaths
make World War II by far the deadliest conflict in human
history.
