I watched quite a few a while ago but can't remember the titles. I do remember " 'alo 'alo", it was quite funny. Any other suggestions?
Thanks...
Not exactly WWII ,but no time for sergeants is one of my favorites.
Kelly's Heroes
Catch 22 comes to mind as well. As Tojo mentioned above, "Kelly' s Heroes" has got to be at the top of my list though.
It's sort of a mish-mash of several war genres but "Top Secret" might also qualify.
There's also "Mister Roberts".

I was thinking the other day 'Fifty Shades of Olive Drab' would make a great name for a movie...
Yeah, 'Kelly's Heroes' is a classic.
'Operation Petticoat' and 'Father Goose' are pretty good too. That's all I can think of off the top my head though.

Mister Roberts, I haven't seen that one in a long time.
Don, you type with an accent?????
Any of the Three Stooges shorts from that era....
"M.A.S.H." Oops, wrong war- but it was a hilarious movie which started the whole TV series.
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...

"We found your friend..impaled on zis device"
"What...fake...dog doo"?
Classic!!!
stikpusher Biloxi Blues is another great one
Ha-ha-ha! I loved that movie!
"Ho what?"
"Ho nothing! Just plain ho."
Did you know that "latrine" is from the French? LOL! Christopher Walken was the best part of the movie.
"Pick a volunteer Jerome"
I'm sitting here at my desk at work just laughing. All I can hear is Walken's voice in my head.
You must have been in the FIRST world war!
Danger 5 it's a TV show, 2 seasons on netflix
...and as always find and kill Hitler.
There were a couple of Bill Mauldin's Willy and Joe movies. I cant remember their titles.
But Biloxi Blues is right up there.
I'll toss in a 50's movie 'Hitler: Dead or Alive' which I think was also released under the name 'Cowboy Commandos' (not sure if it's the same film though). Not sure if it was supposed to be a comedy though, it's so gawd-awful insane it's hard to tell.
A tycoon puts out a million dollar bounty on Hitler and three gangsters show up to collect it. It leads to this insane plan to parachute into occupied Europe and 'whack' him. It's one of those movies where you don't need to speak German to pass yourself off as Wehrmacht officers- just speak English with a really bad German accent.
Highlights include one of the gangsters asking if there's a bonus for knocking off Mussolini since 'we'll already be over there'. And the ending- which I have to give away - where they shave off Hitler's mustache and the Gestapo not recognizing their own leader gun him down in the street.
Edit: Now that I think about it I believe the movie was actually made in the late's 30's before the US entered the war.
How about "Situation Hopeless...But Not Serious".

The Mighty Mo says no.
Pretty sure Jerry Lewis had at least one movie in this genre, question is would it be funny enough to qualify?
There was the old TV series The Phil Silvers Show, which lasted four seasons. The main character Sgt. Bilko, was remade into a recent movie starring Steve Martin - but wiki rates it a failure at the box office.

Just remembered inglorious bastards, which I consider a comedy.brad Pitt was hilarious
While not exactly a war comedy, "A League of Their Own" combines many of the elements... WWII home front USA, many light hearted comedic moments, etc. Yeah it's a sports movie, but with war elements and a lot of humor too...
I thought the Great Escape was kinda comical, "back in the hole Fritz?" Got a real chuckle how main character poked fun at the Germans, just forgot actors name was it Paul Newman or Peter Fonda?
we're modelers it's what we do
