Personally,i'd recommend you:

Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin

Spoiler

Seven teenagers in 1955 have to learn to live together in the same hold in the reformatory of Shio. Confined in a hall where suffering and humiliation are daily, they are waiting for a ray of hope in a dark, incarcerating world. The story follows their life together and how they move on afterwards.

Senkou no Night Raid(it's also supernatural a bit)

Spoiler

The year is 1931. The city is Shanghai. Ten years before America will enter World War II, the hydra's teeth planted by the first great global conflict are beginning to germinate. Hatching like spiders, they weave the complex web of plots and conspiracies destined to inevitably draw entire nations to the brink of destruction. Caught in the heart of these webs, desperately seeking to separate lies from truth, is "Sakurai Kikan," an ultra-secret intelligence agency staffed by extraordinarily talented individuals with abilities far beyond those of normal humans. Their duty: to stop the darkest plots and eliminate the greatest threats.

And if you haven't seen check Hetalia Axis Powers,it's a comedy/ anime parody based on WWI and WWII.

I can't think of any, but for manga, there's vagabond. Its my fourth favorite manga. Unfortunately, it seems like the mangaka lost interest. He said he was going to continue on June 18th, but there's still no new chapter.
My third favorite is a historical fiction manga. Its called Vinland Saga. It would be my second favorite, but it became a monthly series, so the wait always kills me. Its about Vikings. Its a definite must read.
