There are literally thousands of fictional stories about WW2, many of them have been made into films (by the way all 'novels' are fiction...).
I would also advise you to go and take a creative writing course if you are unfamiliar with the process of writing; writing is something you just can't 'do'. Plus it is a journey fraught with disappointment, as any author will tell you. And it's far harder to get published if it's a novel you do intend writing, as for every novel published there are probably a 100,000 submitted to publishers.

Actually I had several writing courses over my highschool career (though I can honestly say I never really payed attention to the fact a novel is always fictional), all in which I had passed with honors (not to brag). I had written dozens of short stories, etc. I'm quite familiar with the writing process.
Also, I think that's my fault for not clarifying my statement. I believe I meant to say was that I've rarely seen a ficitonal WWII book. I know there's a lot out there, just personally I've never seen that, and I failed to clarify it in my original post.
And @ skunk, I do want to do it for fun, sort of as an on the side hobby to my actual life. So I know it won't be finished anytime soon once I start it, but atleast this way I'd take the time to detail it very nicely.
Thanks all for the assistance. I pretty much have the prep stuff ready, I would like to hear some plot and storyline suggestions.
