Haven't heard of these ... Will do a search. Cheers+1 for Downfall.
Land of mine is a brilliant portrayal of post ww2 when the surrendered Nazis were forced to clear the lands of land mines. Recent release but well worth the watch.
Other series that have been missed are:
Generation war.
The Heavy Water War.

Toy story, Willard, Apocalypse Now.http://www.foxnews.com/entertainmen...-jacket-actor-r-lee-ermey-dies-at-age-74.html
