Do you know the name of a World War II era french singer? ?

Question

female one that is...please help us!

Answer 1

Edith Piaf's career began in the mid-1930s, so she can certainly be said to be a WW2-era singer.  She was the most famous, beloved, and tragic of French singers.

While Piaf was primarily a singer of popular music, coloratura soprano Lily Pons - whose career started before Piaf's, and ended about three years before Piaf's death - was France's foremost classical and opera singer of the time.  

Answer 2

Édith Piaf might be the most famous one, but she had her hits in the period right after the war. (first major hit in 1946 i believe)
