    Help me find the name of a movie

    So I have memories of an old black and white WW2 movie. Cant for the life of me remember the title.

    It is about American POW's. I believe it is similar to Stalag 17. I vividly remember the ending, the men are all standing in line, knowing they are about to be executed, and the NCO looks down the line and says something to the effect of "Stand up straight". They all suck their guts in and stand at attention. Then it goes off and does the usual montage showing each of their faces.

    Hoping someone here can help.

    That and it didn't end as described. The Great Escape ended with "The Cooler King" being escorted back to his digs.

    I'm no help on the name. I vaguely remember the movie though. I thought the POWs were Brits though. But yeah, the guys are lined up in front of MGs to be executed, proudly come to attention, and the movie ends.
    Go Ukraine! Piss on the Russian dead.

    Now I want to know…
    Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succor of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.

    Definitely could have been Brits. Glad I'm not the only one that vaguely remembers it.

    Do you remember if the enemy were Japanese or Germans?
