Query: Gritty, sentimental war movie

This was a very hard-hitting (no matter if it was manipulative to a degree) war movie. The opening and closing battles were very intense definately surpassing Hamburger Hill. I didn't mind the slower middle sections that allowed for us to catch our breath. I didn't think that the Germans were portrayed in any lessor light than the Americans. Both routinely killed the wounded and the captured. Both were trying to survive. Don't tell me that a released US soldier wouldn't have recycled into another unit if he had been released. War is Hell! As far as this being basically a US movie.....it is! If you want the multi-national approach see The Longest Day (an excellent movie in it's own right). Summary....I really felt bad at the end and can now understand a little of what my father went though.
