There's a film from the late 60s/early 70s called, "If It's Tuesday, This must Be Belgium."
It's about a whirlwind bus tour of Europe, and includes all the usually comedo-romantic adventures that a busful of strangers can have.
There is a scene where the bus has stopped at some battlefield somewhere in France. The American male is feverishly explaining to his wife exactly what happened that day when his squad advanced over this very hill, with Germans firing upon them unmercifully, etc., etc., etc. As he and the wife cross the screen, a German man is having exactly the same conversation with his wife moving in the opposite direction.
It's one of the funniest moments of the movie, and I just kind of flashed on it on seeing you were heading for a battlefield, even if yours was WWI, and the story relates to WWII.
hm. Maybe I should be getting some additional sleep.
