This was another recent Danish movie I watched, harder to watch and admittedly post WWII but about the effects the war had immediately after.

Loved April 9 and Land of Mine. VERY good movies.

Generation War is also very good from Germany (though it is technically a tv series). YouTube link

Haven't seen this yet, but this looks pretty interesting from Japan.

The Winter War (Finnish: Talvisota) is a 1989 Finnish war film directed by Pekka Parikka, and based on the novel Talvisota by Antti Tuuri. It is set in the Winter War and tells the story of a Finnish infantry regiment from Southern Ostrobothnia fighting on the Karelian Isthmus, focusing mainly on a platoon of reservists from Kauhava. The film was released in Finland and Sweden on 30 November 1989, the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Winter War, and in the United States in December 1989.

1939: The Battle of Westerplatte is very good.

I understand it is somewhat controversial in Poland, in that it reexamines the battle based on previously undisclosed testimony of the garrison. To me, the graphic and honest depiction told a more heroic story than the accepted mythology.

Another that might have started this except only watched it without understanding a word is the Norwegian 12th Man, sadly seems not on YouTube free anymore.

'La Vache et le Prisonnier' (1959)
aka 'The Cow And I'

A "French-Italian tragicomedy" following the exploits of a French prisoner of war who uses a cow as cover to walk from captivity in Germany back home to France.

Something a bit different.

There are two movies on the Dutch resistance by Paul Verhoven, one is "Soldier of Orange" with the late Rutger Hauer, another is "Black Book", with Carice Van Huyten(the red witch in GOT, and Tom Cruise wife in "Operation Valchirie")
