Good, Obscure and/or Old Foreign language war movies

My Favorite genre would have to be war movies, I guess If I had to pick one.
Anyone got any examples of good and Obscure and/or Old Foreign language war movies that I might not have seen. I prefer the small unit, gritty, realistic ones as compared to the "big epic heroic propaganda" ones. One problem with a lot of war movies is their use for nationalist propaganda.
Please pick one movie only and give a link.
I could pick loads but the
movie I will give is
La 317eme Section by Pierre Schoendoerffer (also called The 317th platoon)
1965 French film
In 1954, the Indochina War begins to come to a close following France's defeat by the Viet Minh at the deadly Battle of Dîen Bîen Phû. Some French units are cut off and risk being overrun at every turn -- including the 317th Platoon, a unit of French soldiers and Laotian allies who are led by the idealistic but inexperienced sous-lieutenant Torrens and adjutant Willsdorf, a former soldier in the German Wehrmacht during WWII. Their survival depends on completing a trek through the dense, jungle-laden, expanse of enemy territory that stands between them and the safety of the nearest French outpost.
Its one of the few movies (only two that I know of) that the French
made about the Indochina war 1945-54.
