[[folder:Music]]

* About half to two-thirds of Music/{{Sabaton}}'s output is based on events and figures from World War II.

* Songs about longing for an absent lover's return have always been popular, but those from the Forties – "Till Then", "I'll Be Seeing You", "Waiting For The Train To Come In", etc. – take on greater significance when you think about what was going on when they were recorded.
* Music/IronMaiden has made "Aces High" (about the Battle of Britain), "The Longest Day" (about the Normandy landings), and "Brighter than a Thoudand Suns" (about the Manhattan Project).

[[folder:Podcasts]]

* Dan Carlin's ''Podcast/HardcoreHistory'' has had a few episodes centered around, or related to, the conflict such as the Eastern European Front, the Pacific Theater, and morality of the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
