Try Berlin: The Downfall by Antony Beevor , only thing is that it's not fiction but real, and kinda brings home what really happens in a war.
Other than that I only read Tom Clancy war stuff so I'd say any of his, Rainbow Six is great read.

Read 'All Quiet On the Eastern Front' Its a WW2 novel, written by a German soldier, and it tells how the allies were sometimes just as brutal as the axis powers. It is greatness.
Read it now.

I'm not taking orders from you, froots.
One I read once about a labrador working in the war to sniff out Germans, and all the places it went etc. A good book, pity I can't remember the name of it.
Spot goes to war
No, I've read that one too, Spot gets blown up on a landmine in that book, this book is called something different.

Rainbow Six... by FAR my favourite Clancy book, and considering current world affairs, it's a great read.
I found it particularly frightening though, and the concept truly does make you think, especially when we find various world powers so hell-bent on destroying one another at the moment.

Clancy gets really dull.
*generic this, generic that, adds generic situation, to create, oh! Genric result*
This is of course, the staple diet of most bestsellers, but his gets REALLY dull.
Red Storm Rising is good, having said that.
*does a hypocrite dance*
And the Sharpe novels. Classic yarns.

Band Of Brothers (which I'm almost finished) is great, and I guess D-Day is too (by the same author, but I haven't read it yet, it's gathering dust on my bookshelf)
