The beginning of that film is the only war film shot in a POV perspective. If you have not seen it you have to check that one out.
Whats mind boggling in Saving Private Ryan is the level of detail. In the final battle scene the decimated US troops face a crack German Waffen SS brigade.

In one scene, its comander comes rolling down an alley in a Tiger tank, giving commands in a now extinct German accent (eastern Prussian), my Grandmother used to speak that exact accent.

Gotta give thumbs up to Spielberg for that movie, although I hate the vast majority of his other stuff.
