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!
