GURPS WWII

GURPS WWII Core Rulebook (2001) covers historical events from the end of the Great War (1918) to Japan's surrender (1945).
GURPS WWII is considered part of the Powered by GURPS line and has a variant of Classic GURPS Lite included.pg 176-205 Strangely, it and several of its supplements are among the few Classic GURPS works that don't have "Classic" in their current marketing name.

Many movie theaters in the 1930's and 1940's had this format (reproduced in the PBS series Matinee at the Bijou): trailers, a cartoon, one or more selected short subjects (a clip from Puttin' on the Ritz involving Alice was used as a short subject in an episode of the PBS series Matinee at the Bijou), a chapter of a cliff-hanger serial, and the feature presentation (about 60-90 minutes long)
