List of events during World War II: 1942

This is a list of events during the second world war during the year 1942.

''Note: when looking up events by date it sometimes happens that different official sources contradict each other in terms of date. Almost always these differences are very small, usually one day difference. The reason for this can be found in the fact that certain military actions during the night start and continue into the early hours of the next day. Also happens that an author fully describes the situation when the action is over, in other words the day after the surrender, the day after the peace negotiation, etc. They also noted that the end of a military offensive or campaign is not always readily identifiable. The determination of the date depends on the reference that was used by the author. There is sought in this list, as much as possible, to indicate the exact reference of the date via a description of what happened or was meant.''
