Top 10 World War 2 combat films from German perspective ranked | Films | Entertainment
Following the Top 10 ranking of Nazi-smashing World War 2 movies, here are the best in the genre as depicted from the German combat perspective.
This list, once again ranked on IMDb, features films about the Third Reich’s armed forces fighting on different fronts by land, sea, and air.
Additionally, a couple of movies that made the ranking depict two of the most infamous periods at Adolf Hitler’s High Command, where German combat decisions were made at the very top.
One of those is Downfall, which missed out on No 1 to another German-language epic reckoning with its country’s dark past.
