What would be film noir or neo noir movies, set during a war?
(and the war should have a place in the fore, or back ground)

The Roaring Twenties is a film noir with some battle scenes. I can think of no others.

ACT OF VIOLENCE, CROSSFIRE, SOMEWHERE IN THE NIGHT and DEAD RECKONING all feature ex servicemen up to their heads in noir.
THE MAN BETWEEN stars the ruins of Berlin as much as James Mason or Claire Bloom

There’s a great sub genre I call Nazi Noir. Ministry of fear is one of Thebest.
Quiet Please :Murder - Stars George Sanders , Nazis looking for rare book
Hangmen also Die - about the murder Of Reinhard Heydrich by Czech partisans.

I second Hangmen Also Die! That's a great one.
To Have and Have Not and Journey Into Fear also spring to mind.

Counter-Attack / Zotan Korda (1945). Columbia Pictures. A taut thriller shot in noir style that has Paul Muni as a Russian military officer along with another fighter (Marguerite Chapman) trapped in the cellar of a bombed out building with several German soldiers. Muni has the firearm to keep the Germans at bay, but there is the need to stay awake and there is the uncertainty of who is trying to dig them out – the Russians or the Germans. In the hands of veteran director Korda and genius cinematographer James Wong Hong, the dark crowded underground space is never less than cinematic. I hadn’t known of this film before before I saw it on TCM.

The Tall Target is a rare example of a Civil War themed thriller with elements of film noir.

Crossfire involves bigotry and murder in a GI setting right after WW2.

I was going to say that but it's post war. I get the feeling the war had only been over a few months though.

Night Train to Munich is a good one. The third act is pretty suspenseful.

Good one, though I'm questioning whether many films listed here are truly Noir. The 1939 The Roaring 20s has been mentioned by one poster and I can't see that as a noir; more like a gangster picture or, more broadly, a crime film, in which World War is a factor in its story and if the topic here was "Gangster Films With Wartime Settings And/Or Theme", I'd agree.
