Other tribes chose not to support the war, but focused instead of protecting their own Caerns against the growing mass of Banes that were on the rise. Other Fenrir rejected this, claiming that humans and their politics were secondary to the duty of the Garou to protect Gaia. If necessary, the would use the Weaver's tools to reduce humanity once again, as they did before. A faction among them saw the Übermensch that Nazi esotericism exalted as their own ancestors, and believed it was time for humanity to learn its rightful place. The Get of Fenris nearly split over the issue.

The Garou usually do not become involved in mortal conflicts, having enough conflicts of their own. The ideals of the Third Reich live on in Anarch groups like the Final Reich, or the individual interpretations of former Nazis that were Embraced, with Doktor Totentanz the most infamous example. Numerous elders were destroyed in the fighting, while the war caused an exodus of Kindred from the Old World into the New, straining their domains and caused even more tension between the Anarchs and the Camarilla in these lands. Some spread stories of heroic vampires that Embraced camp inmates and helped them flee, but these are generally regarded as fanciful tales certain vampires (like the notorious Lord Ashton) tell themselves to feel better about their role. While such notions are exaggerated, certain individual vampires, like Prince Breidenstein of Berlin, supported the Nazis in an effort to eliminate competitors or gain revenge, although none of their numbers ever controlled Hitler himself.

As it is custom, blame for the events tends to fly around. The pogroms and death camps resulted in a secure way for regular feeding, and members of all Clans and sects made accommodations with the Nazi war machine. While some groups may have profited from the war, the main instigators, actors, and victims were human. The crimes committed were thought of by entirely ordinary people, with no supernatural nudging required. Hitler was not a secret infernalist, Churchill was not the puppet of a vampire, and Stalin was not a stooge of a mage cabal. It is important to note, and highlighted in several White Wolf publications, that World War II and its crimes were a fundamentally human endeavor. It is generally regarded as a turning point in human history, given the horrible scale of war crimes committed (including, but not limited to, the Holocaust, the Rape of Nanking, the displacement of numerous ethnic minorities in the Soviet Union and many more), the acceleration of decolonization and the reordering of the world into two blocs at its end. The war ended in 1945 with the defeat of the Axis.

These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history. It resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. The main combatants of World War II were the Axis powers, consisting of Nazi Germany, the Empire of Japan and the Kingdom of Italy (along with smaller states like Finland, Romania, Hungary, and Iraq), and the Allied forces, consisting of the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, China, the United States of America, and various governments-in-exile, like France, Poland, Greece, and Ethiopia.
