I planned on watching band of brothers throughout the day yesterday but just couldn’t do it. Memorial Day is a bit tough on me and the waterworks started as soon as the real world interviews kicked off, and the spout turned off and on throughout the first episode.
I love the series but I think the combination of my mental state in it being Memorial Day, and the fact that I was exhausted from the weekend was too much.

"Into The White" on Prime.
An enjoyable true story about a little known WW2 event. A study in humanity vs the folly of war & its politics.

Just watched, thanks for the recommendation...good story.
Have watched enemy at the gate, going to checkout some of the other recs. Usually put on while working and subtitles on some of these make it tough.

Das Boot is amazing

Fortress is a good Russian title. Amazon Prime has several others. They are hit or miss, but give a pretty good impression of what they went through.

A German movie thatI really enjoyed.
Really long review:
Review of the 2017 German Film The Captain on the National WWII Museum website
Trailer on YouTube
It's available to stream on Showtime.

The Captain is a dark, brutal film which looks at World War II’s final days from the perspective of German soldiers behind the frontlines.
Der Hauptmann, released in March 2018, takes place behind the German frontlines in April 1945, weeks before the end of the war. Max Hubacher, who plays the movie's anti-hero Willi Herold, does a remarkable job. He is very convincing as a private who has deserted from his unit and is merely trying to survive. The Captain is directed by Robert Schwentke, who directed two of the science fiction action films, Insurgent and Allegiant from the Divergent trilogy.
This is a very dark brutal film which clearly depicts the chaos which existed towards the end of the war. The opening scene shows Willi running from a group of German soldiers, intent on killing him. He manages to escape and then you realize the hopelessness of his situation. Shot in black and white, at times reminiscent of Schindler’s List, the filming is beautiful and at the same time very disturbing. We see a landscape which is dark, grey, and dirty white; the landscape seems to go on forever. The filming poignantly shows the hopelessness of the situation. There is no sign of life as the film pans out across this dark dreadful landscape. The movie successfully pulls you into this dark landscape and you feel the desperation of the situation.
quote:
The Captain is based on a true set of events which happened in Germany towards the end of the war. The real Willi Herold was executed for his crimes on November 14, 1946. The Captain is not a pleasant movie to watch and is very disturbing. The filming is the highlight of the movie; the landscapes are captivating, beautiful, and disturbing all at the same time. It does clearly show the power of a uniform and the need for authority. Most importantly The Captain clearly illustrates the blind loyalty and fanaticism of German soldiers as the war is coming to an end and the situation is hopeless.
