Thanks! I guessed that in terms of the comic books, WWII did play a more important role... I just thought that, judging by but the films, it came off as random, or rather contextless (for those not familiar with the comic books of course).
How can it be random or contextless when it linked to the rest of the movie? The man Wolverine saved in that scene invites him to Japan decades later, seemingly to say thanks but, it transpires, for other reasons.
Wolverine gets a further flashback when he is at Nagasaki with Mariko, and she says how her father says the recovery and redevelopment of the city shows that everything can heal and find peace again, maybe even Wolverine.
The WWII stuff was integral to the plot of the film!
