I've heard a rumor that I would like to verify.  Is there anything that states a president may not be removed from office, including due to a presidential election, during a time of war?

I was also taught that, however it is not actually true. The example I was given was FDR and that the reasoning behind his long time as President was that there wasn't an election during wartime when actually there was in 1944. The reason he held office so long was that the 22nd Amendment which limits a President to 2 terms or 10 years, whichever comes first had not been passed at the time.
