To Americans, what is the definitive WW2 novel? Is it this one?

WWI: All Quiet on the Western Front - Erich Maria Remarque
WWII: Eye of the Needle - Ken Follett
Cold War: Watchmen - Alan Moore
Vietnam War: The Things They Carried - Tim O'Brien

Well okay, not really. But these are the ones that come first to mind for me.
