WI: A Film Realistically Depicting Partisan War?

Yougoslavia made a movie about the great offensive by the Germans to wipe out Titos partisans and their escape

Battle of Neretva, I believe. Yugoslavian cinematography made a lot movies on the subject. Some are less than realistic, but there are a few more realistic ones.
 
Army of Shadows is a fairly no nonsense depiction of the French resistance, ending as it does with the Resistance Fighters gunning down the heroine (though not the main character) because she had been compromised by the Germans holding her daughter hostage.

ONe of the less realistic was the movie about a partisan airforce
 
The Partisan Airforce was real. I haven't seen the film, so I don't know how realistic it was, but the Yugoslav Partisans did have an airforce for a short period.

That movie was very unrealistic and had Messerschmits chasing biplanes and being shot down by them.

There was the movie Commandos (Diversants) which seems one of the more realistic movies depicting partisan warfare. There was also movie about 'grenadiers' I guess the most accurate term as a translation of the word that literally translates as 'bombers'. Anyway, the movie as about a group of young boys who joined partisans and used to sneak up on enemy bunkers in the dark and throw hand grenades inside. In my memory, it remained as one of the more realistic ones.
 
There was pretty good Czechoslovak movie based on Slovak novel called: Death is called Engelchen. Other one is called Vlcie diery (Wolfs lair). And there is recent Slovak Rozhovor s nepriatelom (Meeting the enemy). Everything basically about Slovak National Uprising. There was also TV series Povstalecka historian (Insurgent history), but that one even if interesting sticking out importants of communist party in the Uprising.
 
From polish cinema, two films come to my mind:

Hubal, history of the first partisan unit of WW2, a polish cavalry squadron that refused to surrender and fought Germans until 1940.

Kanal, film by Andrzej Wajda about group of polish fighters in Warsaw Uprising trying to escape from Germans through city's sewers.
