Depends what sort of campaign it follows. Most focus on the western front, the german invasion of the USSR or the pacific. I dont have a huge amount of knowledge of WW2 shooters outside of CoD WaW but are there any games that do:
Battle of Britain? I believe Il-2 sturminov (or something like that) and the Blazing Angels games have covered the aerial warfare aspec
Soviet invasion of Machuria? This isn't worth a game, this was just a minor event at the end of the war
Dunkirk Evacuation? No, but is there much fun in just running away into small boats?
D-Day? (bet there is but like I say, I dont know that many WW2 games) Yup, loads of times!
African Campaign? Certainly CoD 2 and probably more
Nazi invasion of the Balkans? No
Resistance movements eg Free France? Yeah, like the Sabateour
Sino-Japanese War? No

So yeah, there are some unexplored areas, but they would not be that different to what we have already explored. But anyway, to me, the best WW II game is CoH

When I was listing them I didnt mean each having their own title but as chapters in a game like the way CoD WaW jumps through different stages of the war. So fighting as a British soldier you could start of getting Blitzkreig-ed, to getting to the evac-site at Dunkirk, to aerial combat in the Battle of Britain, skip a bit and go to D-Day, liberating Paris and then the Battle of the Bulge.

Also missed to some off my list

Hiroshima Bombing

Pearl Harbour

Siege of Leningrad
