Franklin D. Roosevelt was the President through most of World War II. However, he died in office five months before the war ended. He died on April 12, 1945, and the Japanese formally surrendered on September 2nd of that year. Harry S. Truman took office upon Roosevelt's death and was President for the remainder of the war.
