First I want to make one thing clear from the beginning. If it was coming off as I was saying that I blame Wonder Woman for World War II or the casualties involved in it, then that was not what I was trying to say. In no way shape or form could I blame her for all of that. My concern was the concept that she had given up on mankind so much that she wouldn't even get involved in a blatant evil. This wasn't a political war fighting over territories, the Holocaust part of the war was directly about genocide. If Diana was made aware of that, and was standing on the beaches of Paradise Island, and shrugged her shoulders and said something along the lines of "That's what men do," or "they'll never learn," or those types of messages, to me, personally, that's less heroic.
If she was involved in the war as just a nurse, or as some other type of less direct combat, then I'd be greatly relieved. Though it's not necessarily what I would have gone with, she is doing something about it. Even when the character was active during WWII in the comics she didn't stop the entire Holocaust nor even the war. The point was though, she was making a difference.
The concept that she wouldn't know about it is pretty tricky when she could give the exact whereabouts of a sword that was sold on the black market. WWII was probably the biggest news story of the 20th Century, so not getting wind of it would be difficult (granted knowing about WWII and knowing about the Holocaust aren't the same thing.))
The concept of the Nazis having the Spear of Destiny or other magical type artifacts would make it more likely for her to be there, as she'd want them back on in the proper hands.
WWI was a war that had a obvious villain, was in Europe, led by a group of Nazis that cared about mystical artifacts, that was bent on slaughtering an entire group of people, and destroying cultures. Again,if there were ever a time a character like Diana would get involved, that to me would be more pressing an issue then the Doomsday fight.
Obviously we don't know what is going to happen in her movie. Maybe it will be explained, and there will be legitimate reasons, but, what I was trying to display is that if, even after all the atrocities she has seen, if she is made aware of how bad WWII actually was, and just shrugs her shoulders and says "Let them kill each other,it doesn't concern me," then that,I will have a problem with. If anything it's over generalizing the entire planet. Are there men who act with violence and are neanderthals, yes. But not all men, women and children. Hopefully she will be a nurse or spy, or something along those lines.
