Particularly ones that don't shy away from its shocking brutality.

Come and See (Soviet Union) – quite harrowing.

"Enemy at the Gates" was fairly brutal, and I heard it was based on a true story about a duel between a German sniper and a Russian sniper at the Siege of Stalingrad. "Attack and Retreat" came out in the 1960's, and for that time it was somewhat brutal. It's about Italian soldiers serving on the Eastern Front. Many years ago I had a very vivid dream in which I was a German soldier on the Eastern Front in 1944; a member of a unit called the Ghost Team. It was kind of like the German Dirty Dozen. We were completely expendable, operating behind the lines, and wearing masks that we made out of bandages. I remember crawling through a minefield in winter with my bayonet on my Mauser rifle and using it to probe for mines as we sneaked up on the Bolshevik defensive positions at night. It was so cold. After I awoke I thought that would make a hell of a movie, but unfortunately I never made enough money to produce it.  |

Stalingrad from 1993 was decent.

This should probably go in the book section, but if you want a hard hitting first person account, read "Notes of a Russian Sniper" by Vassili Zaitsev. Enemy at the Gates was loosely based on his book. You really feel like you are in the trenches, blown out factories and sewers of Stalingrad.
Cross of Iron, Stalingrad, Enemy at the Gates are the first films to come to mind though.
