Your sonnets always have a an "all of one piece" feel to them. You carry through with your message to the reader in good form. Personal taste vary, and I usually see minor changes, had I been the author, but that's what makes poetry fascinating for me.
L-2..."And feel you here the moment I awake". I think you could re-think L-12 for flow and give more thought to the flow and content of your final couplet, but then again, just another writer's opinion. I consider your sonnets some of the best writing now being posted on YAP.
I think maybe this is why I am not in love with sonnets, they simply are droll and too pasty, too much like pastry which has been kneaded too long and hard to chew, I know sonnets is what you do but I have read stuff you write that actually was really good that was not sonnet and truthfully once a sonnet has been mastered I believe it is time to lighten up and go develop something unique to our own personal word processor our brains.
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.
