History is written by the victor

My question is this;

Obviously, every history lesson we learn is a little subjective merely because we're getting one side of the story (mainly the victors side saying "those guys are villains, yadda yadda yadda and we won and kicked their @ss..).

Now we've all seen and loved shows and movies depicting the Allies (mostly American) in World War Two. Now I understand this, as the main producer is located in America, main target audience is Americans.

BUT, we see submarine depictions of BOTH sides (of the Atlantic) in movies like U-5?? (bloody hell its late..), Das Boot, Run Silent Run Deep, etc.

My question is this, based on the fact that there are submarine movies depicting both allied and german efforts during the war, why is there (or if there is, why have i never heard of it ) movies depicting the actions of the Wehrmacht and (dare I say it) SS *Panzer Corps*. Obviously I'm not interested in it for any attrocities they've done, but I'm wondering on this late night why there are no movies depicting the combat prowess of Wehrmacht, Fallschrimjager, and any other German troops during WW2?

What are your thoughts on this?
