I had read that the density of men in front of the second war was high. Except in Russia where land areas are very large.
In perhaps the Korean War was also used a high density of men. In Vietnam anymore.
Every war has its particular characteristics.
It is my assessment correct?
I have no idea about frontages for the Korean or Vietnam war, but otherwise I'd say your assessment is about correct.
Generally, open terrain allows for larger frontages, where close terrain requires narrower frontages.
Although certain theaters in WWII had high densities of men, battalions in The Great War had even narrower fronts. With many Great War defensive fronts of about 500 - 1000m per battalion, instead of WWIIs 1000 - 2000m.
