It is one of the lesser shown WWII films on British TV,I'm 34 and i was about 10 ish last time i saw it .I think it Starred Henry Fonda and it must of been after D-Day the abiding memory of it i have is of German machine Guns being hiden inside some Haystack's ......sorry i cant remember any more about it

Sounds more like ANZIO.
Is the scence you mention where a column of US Infantry get ambushed?
The Germans are hiding in false haystacks.
Anzio (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

See this at 31 & 41 seconds.
Are those the haystacks you remember?

The only trouble with Anzio is that Henry Fonda isnt in it. But the clip referenced by Wes W shows the disguised machine guns in the haystacks.

Could you, barrow, have confused Fonda with Robert Ryan?

Yeah cheers guys ! like I said I was probably about 10 at the time.I would still like to know what film that was with Henry Fonda ??Was he in 'A bridge too far' ?

Nope not in a bridge too far. Anzio is the only movie I can think of with machine guns in a haystack. If Henry Fonda is the one you are looking for try these out.

The Longest Day
In Harms Way
Battle of the Bulge
The Last Four Days
The Battle of the Mareth Line


GL hope this helps.
