No, I can't give even ONE example.

Thought I might be onto something when I found a list of films it had been used in, but none of those films were set in WWII.
Did find a few mentions that the song was written during the German occupation of Paris, but, like you said, recorded in 1946.

OK, a little help folks, have I just invented this memory of La Vie en Rose
in war films? I think it was used, even if it was not historically accurate.

She does have two other songs in Saving Private Ryan.
