Lumpy, - just read a horror story (well ghost stuff actually) which had roots in Britain in 1943.
It was creepy, addictive, and mean. But the read was one heck of a ride,,,,,,wwwhhhoooooooo!
From James Herbert (author of i.e. "The Fog" and "Haunted") it's called "The Secret of Crickley Hall" and has the ISBN of 978-0-330-45210-6.
Creeeeepyyyy

Thanks, I''ll check that one out. Have you found the book recommended by the LW Oberst yet? :)

In 1917, in the Western front, a group of survivors of the British Company Y reach the most forward
German trench in a foggy night...

ok not a WW2 movie, but WW1, maybe like it to see it anyway:

Deathwatch (2002)

also know as "No Man's Land " or "WWI Trench Horror".

Not many spring to mind. I guess war has enough horror on it's own, compared to, say, a summer camp with the young counselors. Heavy Metal has the segment with the B-17 and the airplane graveyard.

Not movies, but...

Anyone remember the "Wierd War Tales" comics of the 1970s? Ghost Boat was a great horror book with a WW2 US submarine theme. They did make a movie later, but set it on a lost liner. Thought the movie was OK.

More then one Twilight Zone episode comes to mind.

The one with the downed B25 in the desert, based on Lady Be Good
The one with the Submarine found postwar where it sounds like people are pounding on the inside and one of the guys above goes nuts.
The National Guard tank crew and ends up at Little Bighorn
The one  where the US Officer leading an attack on a Japanese held cave, switches spots with the Japanese Lt.

Not horror I suppose, but spooky

The Keep was first that came to mind though.

I remember that one. I believe it was Outer Limits though.
