Wouldn't even really consider "Where Eagles Dare" a war film per se. Yes, it's about a (fictional) WWII mission, but it's done in the same sort of over-the-top Saturday matinee mood as "Raiders of the Lost Ark". The Germans can't shoot straight, managing only to graze one of the protaganist's hands, an injury which is quickly shrugged off. And the heroes possess a couple of small knapsacks that yield a seemingly endless supply of explosives and ammunition, all of which unerringly find their mark.It's probably one of the most "fun" WWII movies to watch, and I guess in that sense it could be considered propaganda, especially since it was released at the height of the Vietnam War. It doesn't suggest any "good reason" to fight (like the "Green Berets", a decidedly pro-Vietnam War propaganda piece), but does suggest that war is smashing good fun!

Plus they had a helicopter in this.
"Would not consider"....One of the most ...WWII movies to watch....
I saw it long time ago , and I remember only a few good actions scenes....But it has nothing to do with what I meant.
Hitch did made more real propaganda films loke " Aventure Malgache ".
... means "intrinsically". There's no contradiction there. Just a misunderstanding on your part. Sorry about that.
Sorry too! But I still see a contradiction there and I know what " per se " means.
And I did not mean a contradiction by words but of the spirit of your missive.
Still see it.
