WW2 movie title search

[Splinterb]

I recently saw a part of a movie that I was not able to catch the title of- I thought i had seen every WW2 movie out there but...

Its a B/W comedy, late 40's early 50's centering around three British soldiers (two officers are the 'straight men') and a French soldier who blunder about trying to destroy a huge rail gun.

Very dry humor but lots of physical pratfall stunts, so I am guessing its a British film.

One of the funniest I've seen- A nod to authenticity, the Germans actually speak German instead of ridiculous accents.

Does anyone know what this movie is titled? Searched around but to no avail...
