Can I go a little bit off topic and mention a 3 part series/film called Generation War.
It's German and focuses on the war between Germany and Russia during WW2.
I thought it was superb.
Brilliant this

Das Boot.
And - even better- there’s been a brilliant new serialisation in recent times.

Wasn't this part of a trio of mini series related to Band Of Brothers? Cracking series it is too.

Don’t think so as it was a German production

Regardless of whether it's factually correct or not, for me it's Full Metal Jacket.

Yeah, it was billed as the German Band Of Brothers probably because of the theme and the 3 episode format. I enjoyed all of them.
Reading through this thread, I am struck by the fact that there are several war films that are just great films, irrespective of the subject.
One such has not been mentioned:
All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)
An American film based on the 1928 novel by the German writer Erich Remarque.
Highly rated by critics and audiences alike, the film contrasts the
gung-ho, go for glory attitudes in Germany with the reality of the horror of WW1.
Das Boot was originally a German tv series which was later converted to a film. Tv version better imo, as it better captures the claustrophobic atmosphere on the sub. Film still good, tho'
Finally, as befits a football site,The Great Escape. Some entertaining nonsense, Steve McQueen on his bike, but we should remember it is based on a disgraceful act of murder of PoWs.

Surely on a football site Escape to Victory merits a mention - no wait it had Stallone in it so maybe not
