I've been thinking lately about how much I'd enjoy to write a novel on WWII. However, there's a twist. I want mine to be fictional. Most WWII books are biographies, historical accounts, or books based off real units and battles. Rarely is there a fictional book on WWII. The one I can only recall at this time is Hart's War by John Katzenbach (which is a great read, just for the record).

In addition, I want it to be different than other WWII movies and novels. I want to be different from the kind that glorify the action, but still holds enough combat or conflict to still keep the reader intersted. I had thought of something along the lines of the movie "U-571" but it would be British commandos instead of the U.S. Navy. That or a secret OSS mission to capture a V2 rocket before it reaches the launch facility or something along the lines like that.

Here's where you all come in... give me ideas, lol.

I want to hear from you all here who would appreciate a good war read that would still be interesting even without the glorification of major combat and guns blazing everywhere. So do you want to see some sort of special ops? The view of combat through the perspective of a soldier? Let's hear em!
