Yep. Fun fact about that movie: the main cast had to re-dub their lines because of filming conditions. They all speak English too, so did their own English dub. (I still prefer German with subtitles, since it helps with the overall feel.)

Probably my second favorite war movie after Apocalypse Now.

I didn't know that. I suppose they at least tried to dub the German speech to synchronise with their faces on screen. I watched it in German, I am going to have to rewatch it again ohne Untertiteln at some point.

Apocalypse Now is also great.

Bear in mind I cribbed that from the IMDB trivia page (the same thing appears unsourced on Wikipedia), so it may be totally made up.
