I think you should do what you want to do, we r not you we don't know what you like, if other people don't like it is there opinion but don't turn down anything you want to do just bc of others peoples opinions.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
