They don't make WW2 movies like they use to. A Bridge too Far, The Battle of Britain, The first Midway movie, and many others from that time frame are classics.

During the Normandy battles the 25 pounder artillery gun was the mainstay of the British and Canadian armies. The skilled crews achieved such high rates of fire that some dazed German prisoners when captured demanded to see the belt fed automatic artillery gun that was giving them such a pasting.

I would put the assault on the factory from Stalingrad (1993) pretty high up there. The actors are what make it great, you see tons of different human traits: fear, shock, bloodlust, battle hardened, stoic, leadership etc... all in a 10 minute scene where only around 50 of the 500 company survive.

Battle of Britain is a great movie. I think it won the Academy Award for special effects that year but those stuka scenes are hard to watch. Of all the planes used in the movie the JU 87 was the only one the did not have a working plane for. All the stuka scenes are done with RC models.

What doesn't make sense is how the Chain Home stations didn't detect the Stukas. They should have picked them up early enough for the fighters to have been scrambled. Fun fact: The chain home tower at Stenigot, Lincolnshire is still standing and from the top you can see bomb craters around it from the Luftwaffe's unsuccessful attempts to hit it.

People often think about the ww2 on the ground between infantry, tanks, etc. However, what truly made ww2 terrifying compared to other wars was the usage of aircraft in a coordinated way to support ground forces and destroy military targets.

The anti-tank guns scene was very well done, and the strange truth is it never happened. The tanks destroyed during the first stage of the attack were destroyed by panzerfausts fired at point blank range by what has to be considered a suicide mission by a small group of Germans in a trench hidden next to the road. The fight escalated as the supporting infantry opened up. Also, the RAF did not come in to the save the day, the Irish Guards defeated the Germans with their tanks.
