You may be thinking of Joyeux Noël, a great film (Diane Kruger, who speaks fluent German, is in the film) about WWI and two sides uniting for Christmas Eve. It's a lot like this film. These films really move me, because they're true (for the most part) and it goes to show... it's so easy for bastards sitting on their thrones to wage war, but we're all still human and when we meet each other and need each other, the true spirit of human kindness comes through.
A wonderful story that isn't a movie can be read here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Brown_and_Franz_Stigler_incident
An American bomber and a German ace meet up in the air. Instead of shooting the American down, he escorts the American out of their airspace, salutes him, then flies off. It would've been too unfair to shoot them down... 40 years later, the American finds the German pilot and they become friends, and then they both die in 2008 several months apart. It literally brings a tear to my eye every time I read that story.

No what im talking about was not a movie and it was WWII. I think they said the enemy actualy gave them directions back to the allied lines. they were foot slogen infentry men lost after a battle. At the end of the show they had interviewed two or maybe all three of the american soldiers. The one guy i remember was living in hawaii and ran some kind of shop there.

That was in an episode of Unsolved Mysteries.
There is also a story about an American pilot who shot down a Vietnamese Mig. he even saw the pilot parachuting into the jungle. He spent years wondering if the pilot had survived. Eventually he found out that the pilot had indeed survived.
