War hero type guy comes back from the war (early war, WW1, WW2) with no hands but he has like claw hook things instead and he has a problem functioning normally because of his lack of hands

Could it be "The Best Years of Our Lives"?

The actor (I can't remember his name) didn't have any hands, and won a best supporting actor Oscar for his portrayal of a person re-adjusting to live after the war.

Is this the movie?

Sounds like "The Best Years Of Our Lives" from 1946

Just watched this movie for the first time a few weeks ago. gotta say it was great. I was really surprised by the honest look at readjusting to civilian life so soon after the war. I thought all war movies of that era starred John Wayne propaganda style. Nicely done.
