What are some of your favorite foreign WWII films that I can find online or streaming?
I’ve seen a few such as Come and See, a polish film about the Warsaw uprising, and In The Fog.

Forgot about those. Sisu was action packed and gave me Quintin Tarantino vibes.

Ashes and Diamonds? Kanal?

If it wasn't either of those two, I highly suggest both of those.


Grave of Fireflies
Das Boot
Black Book
Army of Shadows
The Burmese Harp

Obviously, Downfall suffers from all the (often hilarious) parodies made from it. But, it is a masterpiece. And Bruno Ganz was - to coin a phrase - literally Hitler.

Das Boot is probably the best and has already been mentioned so Darkest Hour.

It's very good.

Ganz nailed the role.

Are actors in foreign films not eligible for Oscars? Because he was not even nominated*.

A German army deserter finds a Nazi captain's abandoned uniform during the final weeks of World War II. Emboldened by the authority it suddenly grants him, he amasses a band of stragglers that cedes to his every command -- despite the suspicions of some. Citing direct orders from Hitler himself, he soon takes command of a camp that holds German soldiers accused of desertion -- and begins to dispense harsh justice.

Cheating a bit but, Tora! Tora! Tora! The Japanese parts of the film were shot and directed by Japanese.

T-34. It’s a Russian action movie rather than a traditional war movie.
