Although I don't agree that WW II shouldn't be remembered, in most cases these movies are way too pathetic to enjoy for those who have real interest in WW II, as they in most cases tend to paint heroes, victims and villains in very much one dimensional fashion and in most cases also spin and bend historical facts.

I'm regarding as one of the few exceptions for example:

One of my personal top 5 war movies, three out of which are German.
