If I may interject...

One way to show the horror without graphic detail, is to show it in the eyes of the survivors, and in the way they interact with each other after the battle, and how they interact with their (new) reality. Of course, that has been done before with varying degrees of success by other directors, so Spielberg would have had to be creative to come up with his own way of doing it - something that he seems incapable of.

Actually, the famous beach scene just raises the bar for the next guy, to make such scenes even MORE realistic, and thereby de-sensitizing the audience to such scenes.
