Sure. 'All Quiet on the Western Front' is a must - read. It's a classic that really makes you feel the pain and senselessness of war. Then there's 'Storm of Steel' which is more about the adventure and camaraderie in the midst of battle. Another good one is 'The Road Back' which deals with the aftermath of the war.

One great one is 'The Book Thief' by Markus Zusak. It's told from the perspective of Death and focuses on a young girl in Nazi Germany who steals books. Another is 'All the Light We Cannot See' which follows a blind French girl and a German boy during the war.

Some good World War II historical fiction books include 'Atonement' by Ian McEwan. The story is set against the backdrop of the war and involves themes of love, guilt, and the consequences of false accusations. 'Unbroken' by Laura Hillenbrand is another excellent choice. It tells the true story of Louis Zamperini, a World War II veteran, in a fictionalized yet engaging manner. There's also 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society' which gives a view of life in the Channel Islands during the German occupation.

Another is 'Number the Stars'. It's about a girl in Denmark during the war who helps her Jewish friend. The book does a wonderful job of showing the courage and kindness in the face of Nazi occupation. It gives young readers a sense of how ordinary people can be heroes during such a difficult time.

One more for young adults is 'Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl'. While it's a real diary, it can also be considered historical fiction in a way as it gives an intimate look at the life of a young Jewish girl in hiding during the Nazi regime. It's a very important and educational read for young people to understand the horrors of the war.

I'd also recommend 'The Nightingale' by Kristin Hannah. It focuses on two sisters in France during the war. One sister becomes a resistance fighter while the other endures in a different way. It's a story of survival, love, and sisterhood in the face of war.
