WW2 was huge, they seriously couldn't have found anything besides a story about damn mailmen?
If they wanted to tell stories from different perspectives during ww2, they'd be better off making a movie about the North African campaign or the Japanese invasion of SE Asia. Plenty of non Whites fought in both those theaters, especially for the latter.
Hell, look up Lieutenant Adnan who served in British Malaya against the Japanese. I'm sure his last stand would make for a great movie if done right.
But who am I kidding, these studios only want to tell stories that they can twist into going "look, evil whitey".
They could have just done a reboot of the Tuskegee Airmen, Netflix style: The entire show would be about white men trying to ground them and sabotage their planes. Then as the war in Europe is concluding, the airmen fly to Hitler's bunker just before he suicides. After busting down his door, they say "Black. Lives. Matter." and shoot him with his own gun.
This earns them a visit to the White House. When they enter the Oval Office, they see a black man sitting at the desk with the President standing next to him. The captain says "But, you're not the President!" to which the man replies "The President answers to me. You don't really think a white man would have let you finish off Hitler, do you?" Then everyone in the room raises their fist and shouts "Wakanda forever!"
