Kat - Harvey Keitel
Paul - Leonardo DiCaprio
Tjaden - John Turturro

You need a cast of either young unknowns or young stars to make up the cast. Leo and especially Turturo are too old.

Kat could be an established character actor who should generally lead the cast. I actually liked Borgnine's size as Kat. It made him look older and he's a master at finding food. Plus, even if you are generally hungry, you will still have a gut on you if you've always been heavyset. It adds an element of realism to the fact that he's not a professional soldier.

I would have Kat played by Tom Wilkinson and a group of young guys to round out the rest. Paul could probably be played by a rising young guy like Joseph Gordon Levitt or something.

I didn't care for Harry Potter, but I think that Daniel Radcliffe is a good choice for Paul.

I still think Harvey Keitel could play Kat well with a German accent. You would need someone who could be convincingly in their mid 40s as it would be historically inaccurate to have someone who looks aged beyond their years to play a front line soldier in the First World War. You would have to be physically very strong to be in a non-territorial combat unit and be in your 40s during that time.
