None seen, but it's implied when you see a close-up of a thoroughly banadaged soldier in a field hospital. The bandages are soaked with blood and one covers his right eye.

I guess you can consider it somewhat of a jump scare at 38:45 when (mild spoiler) 3 members of the American platoon suddenly see 3 Germans standing there with their rifles pointed at them. It's filmed in a way meant to startle the audience as much as it did the soldiers.

Not the teeth so much, but the mouth. There's a mildly gruesome scene near the end where a dead soldier has his dog tags wedged in between his upper and lower teeth and then his mouth is violently closed by the coroner who bangs the chin upwards with heavy, metal pliers.

There's a very brief nude scene in the very beginning when one of the soldiers strips down while running through the forest and ends up in a stream. He's briefly shown at a distance naked. You only see his nude buttocks and just a tiny hint of the side view if his gentials when he stands up.

There are many scenes throughout the movie where the camera is very shakey. These scenes are frequent and sporadic, so I don't recommend this movie for people who are really sensitive to it.

Near the very beginning of the movie, it's revealed that one of the soldiers ("Mother") has gotten word that his baby back home was born dead. The baby is not shown. You only see the soldier's reaction to the news.

No, but it's mentioned that one of the original members of the platoon was killed and he'd lost his left arm. A flashback of this soldier is shown while he's wrapped in bloody bandages in a field hospital and still alive, but you don't see clearly the missing arm because of the bandages. Nor do you see how any of his injuries occurred.

Not those exact words, but a soldier is telling his fellow soldiers the story of the women they hired to take their virginity. He mentions that she was planning to kill herself because she'd recently found out that her fiancé was killed while fighting in Sicily.

No, but one of the Jewish soldiers thinks without any direct evidence that the friendly Germans don't trust him because he's a Jew.
It's also a WW2 movie, so there's that.

Yes. It's mentioned that 11 members of the platoon are virgins and it's narrated that they are on a search to lose their virginity before they're shipped over seas. Four of the group are shown going to a hotel where they've planned to hire a prostitute, but it doesn't go exactly as planned.
Very mild spoiler:
Turns out she's not a prostitute, but a war widow (technically only engaged), yet still agrees to have sex with the four men. It shows her having sex with each one individually, though it's not graphic and there's no nudity.

There's a flashback scene to a soldier laying in a field hospital almost totally wrapped in bloody bandages. He's alive in this scene, but an unnamed soldier is in the bed next to him and is deceased. You know this because you see the attending army doctor pulls a blanket over his head.

His body and blood are later used to help the survivors of the platoon walk to safety through enemy territory.

Near the beginning of the movie, one character lets out a very loud and prolonged scream of emotional agony after hearing his baby was born dead.
Another soldier, among 2 others frantically screams and curses in a panic as his group is suddenly confronted by 3 Germans pointing rifles at them. It's a somewhat prolonged episode of screaming/yelling.
Other screaming and yelling of various sorts occurs throughout the movie.

One of the members of the American I&R squad is a devout Christian who was going to become a priest, but never completed seminary. It's said that he personally didn't feel pure enough. His nickname is "Father" because of his religious faith.
There several are Christian rituals, objects, and symbols throughout the movie.

Nothing is overtly stated or obvious, so I'd say no. However, this movie is set near the end of WW2 and the soldiers have probably experienced significant trauma and are likely suffering from some degree of PTSD, but this isn't emphasized in this movie. One soldier appears to be depressed after hearing about the death of his newborn child. It's repeatedly implied by others that he's not mentally stable, but no definitive illness is stated or implied.

No, but the survivors of the I&R squad return to find their regiment has abandoned the camp and left the area without telling them. Does that count?
It's not shown, but it's mentioned how the members of the platoon go their separate ways. It's unknown if any were able to say good-bye.
