Few modern suggestions set in wartime, little different flavors.
Dark Blue World
Gloomy Sunday
Was Downfall mentioned?
edit: there are a couple of good flicks set in finland or norway (but wasn't sweden) during ww2, can't put my finger on them this minute.

Noticed several have mentioned "Das Boot"
I've tried watching it several times and just can't make it through the whole movie without getting bored. Never understood why anyone thought it was great.
JMO, though.
"Farewell to the King" staring Nick Nolte is a pretty good War Movie that has not been mentioned, yet.

The Best Days of Our lives.
It was actually about life after WWII.

The Batle of Britain, the one that used real planes not CGI. Michael Caine, Trevor Howard, Laurence Oliver, and Susannah York are in it . Made in 1969, using real Spitfires and JU88's, ME 109's for the combat scenes.
The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

A couple of interesting Korean war movies, actually produced in South Korea, are "Brotherhood of war" and "The front line ". Of course, if subtitles aren't your thing, then give them a miss.

There are no problems that cannot be resolved by the suitable application of high explosive.
