If you want to really feel how soldiers lived in the battlefield, I totally recommend the TV series "Band of Brothers". It is also the book but the TV series is awesome.
Band of Brothers is directed by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, two of the greatest figures in Cinema today. It is based on the book written by historian Stephen Ambrose.
The narrative centers on the experiences of the "Easy Company" of the 2nd Battalion. It talks from Easy's basic training at Toccoa, Georgia, through the American airborne landings in Normandy, Operation Market Garden, the Battle of Bastogne and on to the end of the war.
The events portrayed are based on Ambrose's research and recorded interviews with Easy Company veterans.
Here is the trailer of the series. Band of Brothers captured in my opinion perfectly the emotions of soldiers in the battlefield and you can have a little taste of the series in this trailer.
Feel free to comment if you have already seen this. Don't be ashamed to say if you cried.
