I came across this movie today that a friend shared, never knew this movie existed before now. It is called "My Way" and is a South Korean film based on a real person, Yang Kyoungjong, who was a Korean conscripted into the Japanese army to fight Russia. He was captured by the Russians and then later conscripted to fight the Germans, where he was captured again. He was then conscripted into the German army and fought in Normandy, before being captured one final time by American troops. The man certainly got around.

 

This is an amazing D-Day invasion sequence, though an inaccurate one. It is note worthy I think though for showing D-Day from the German side, where most movies primarily (and understandably) focus on the Allied side.
