I was assigned to NATO HQ and we took our Boyscout troops visit the battlefield in mid-Dec. We camped nearby with temps down to 16 deg F.  The actually temp during 1944 was significantly lower (30-40 deg lower), and it felt like we were freezing our asses off at 16F.

Remarkable gallantry in the face of terrible conditions for our WWII soldiers.

Midway, because like many moments throughout the war, Divine providence somehow arose to turn the tide. The battle of Midway could have brought devastating losses to our Navy. That or Churchill. What a great movie that was.

Not among the best but “Fury” with Brad Pitt has the scariest and most realistic tank battle scene ever done. It honestly scares the shit out of me every time I watch it. If you have a good surround sound it will blow your mind.

 

also, U571 has some similar scenes. Sound in that movie was first rate.
