World War II was a major conflict conducted mainly in Europe and Asia and parts of northern Africa from 1939 to 1945.
Events
The war was started in 1938 due to the Nemesis statue passing over Earth. It caused Adolf Hitler to annex the country of Austria. (DW: Silver Nemesis)
The immortal Jack Harkness served in the war as an RAF pilot(DW: Utopia); Fey Truscott-Sade served as a British spy and special operative in occupied Europe (DWM: Me and My Shadow); and Toshiko Sato's grand-parents and Rachel Jensen worked as code-breakers at Bletchley Park, alongside Alan Turing. (TW: Greeks Bearing Gifts) (MA: Who Killed Kennedy)
The Seventh Doctor ensured Hitler would fail to prevent the British retreat at Dunkirk, thus ensuring Britain would remain in the war. (NA: Timewyrm: Exodus
In 1940 and 1941 Germany bombed Great Britain, an event known as the Blitz. The Royal Air Force carried out its own systematic bombings of Germany.
From 1940 to 1945, the Channel Islands were occupied by German forces. (NA: Just War)
For a short period of time on both sides, the Cardiff rift linked 1941 and 2008, allowing Jack Harkness and Toshiko Sato of Torchwood 3 to meet with the original Captain Jack Harkness, and to cause suspicions in the denomination of the institute about Bilis Manger. (TW: Captain Jack Harkness)
In 1943, Fenric was working with his Haemovores at Maiden's Point. Russia and Britain, while nominally allies, were plotting against each other in preparation for post-war. (DW: The Curse of Fenric)
In 1944, the Doctor and Ace arrived at Colditz. (BFA: Colditz)
In 1945, an amnesiac Doctor, Alan Turing and Graham Greene got involved in an unexplained alien conflict, as well as surviving through the Dresden firebombing. (EDA: The Turing Test)
