Before I clicked the "show" button, I knew that's the scene you were describing. That scene has always stuck with me too.
Also, that scene sticks with me because of the great sound design, I know you don't like to watch it, but next time pay specific attention to the sweat of the German soldier. My dad and I used to show Saving Private Ryan to people in order show off our brand new surround sound system back in the day. You can actually hear the sweat of the German soldier dripping on the uniform of the American soldier. It's little details like that that make me proud to be a fan of cinema.
