Service records for WW2 aren't on general release although you can apply for them at a cost of £30 and you would need to expect a long wait!

War Diaries for the Army and Operational Records for the RAF are available at the National Archives as well as Recommendations for Honours and Awards. There are some POW records on various websites and more is available at the National Archives.
