It's possible to argue that most war movies contain a certain amount of horror because of the nature of war and the amount of death and suffering within, but that doesn't specifically classify them as horror films.

Back to the Second World War, there is also Michael Mann's The Keep, which I haven't seen for a long time but remember finding both enjoyable and impressive.
There is The Devil's Rock which is set during WWII on the eve of D-Day, but following the opening where three commando's land on a beach and enter a secret castle location it turns into a scary runaround with demons rather than any sort of war film and could be set at any time in history.
