“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Horrors of War (2006)
aka Zombies of War, aka Nazi Zombies
I've seen a ton of Nazi zombie films (THREE underwater Nazi zombie films!) and I'm not a fan of any of them. This one tries for a giant war spectacle on maybe $10-20K budget, which would doom it to failure even if it didn't have poor special effects; that bullets make "ping" sounds when they hit dirt is especially disconcerting. It's actually more of a werewolf film than a zombie film - and, yes, Nazi werewolves has been done before and better, too. There's nothing new, nothing interesting, nothing done particularly well. If you're a gorehound and a WW II buff, it's watchable, though the story meanders and there's not much tension.
