Many students in some parts of the world have no relevant knowledge to that period because relatives (dads, grandads, uncles etc) were not in the war. So make sure that the players do not assume their characters know anything much about the conflict.

You date yourself. My grandparents barely remember the times when the war was on. I got a lot more information on it from movies. And even more information because I'm a history buff and liked to play axis and allies (the board game).
The agency idea is right though: give the players fair warning before the game that they might want to have history buffs among them.
