Eagles Over London (1969)

A war movie set during the 1940 British evacuation of Dunkirk. The plot has a group of plucky German saboteurs masquerading as British troops on their return to England. The Nazis' goal is to infiltrate the enemy's homeland, then locate and destroy hi-tech equipment that's enabling the Allies to counter the German bombers as they fly over the land with their deadly payload.
There's a spectacular beach scene near the beginning that might fool you into thinking you'll be getting a more explosive drama in all, but elsewhere it's more modest, following a group of British soldiers as they hunt for the invaders despite not knowing how numerous they are or what they look like. There's dogfights and explosions, but the film's most memorable scenes are the ones that deal with men and their dedication and reaction to duty.
