Saving Private Ryan/Nightmare Fuel

Omaha Beach. To wit: "MOMMA! MOMMA!!" Don't forget the guy who's wandering the beach in a daze, looking for his severed arm.
Also the unfortunate radioman next to Captain Miller on Omaha.
The sound of the approaching German Tiger was accurate enough to give many veterans in the audience flashbacks.
There's also the scene where Mellish gets into a hand-to-hand fight with an SS soldier, and loses by getting stabbed in the chest by a combat knife. Slowly overpowered, the knife slowly sinking into his chest until he bleeds to death.
- More so if you understand German, as the SS soldier is, with a slight mocking tone, telling Mellish to stop struggling so that his death will be easier.
Any of the battle scenes in the film could qualify. They did a really good job of showing you how scary and dangerous battlefields are.
