My grandfather told me a terrible account of a tank crew not paying attention and unintentionally traveling over some of his service members. He always stopped at that point, I can only imagine the memories he once held of the sights and sounds which the event did manifest before him. RIP grandpa.
My father in law ran someone over in a tank on an exercise. Came over the top of a hill and there were infantry on the other side he didn't know about.
That German Pak75 anti-tank gun was a terror for allied tanks. The crews were generally highly skilled and they used the best optics. I can't see how they could have missed that many times in an open field.
@@Pbairsoftman It's an open field and the sherman's were coming in slowly straight ahead in front of the Pak 40s. It's not about how skilled you are because at this point you have to be literally blind to miss them at all.
@@Pbairsoftman if you’re trained to use it, then you’re skilled crew member. Only thing that would make sense is that since this was nearing the end of the war and these aren’t people who trained enough with it. They only had a week to train before the allied forces marched through Germany. Even still, it is an open field and your enemy is moving slow and grouped up

My guess is that the crew of the M4 seeing the pzfaust 10m in front of them would of probably gone into shock.

Realistic would have been the Americans calling in an artillery barrage and completely destroying the German position, then moving their tanks unopposed.
@@Giacomo020189 it’s in our rifle squad publication that the enemy wouldn’t expose himself. If we are taking fire and a general direction is known, we would distribute fire across our sector and close with the enemy (once we have fire superiority).

I have an original photo of my grandfather during the war standing on top of one of those Sherman tanks all by himself. Family Story: He told me he was hit while a crew member in the tank. He was the only survivor.
He was right, you have no clue if they're really dead, I would give it a few rounds before doing anything else, cause you'll never know when the next man shoots you back.
@@admiralwolf7218 no i think what he means is that stormtroopers from Star wars don't know how to aim and it's the same thing with the German soldiers in this scene, and with the tank destroyers too, they either don't have good aim
@@xnet_cascade6257 unless it hit the bottom of the tank, given the angle he was shooting from. Even if it was to the front armor, its still not a given that everyone inside will be fine.
So the Sherman hits the MG team dug into a fox hole while moving and a antitank gun that was sitting there for 10 minutes watching the tank completely misses from head on?
@@revol148 they always portray them as the undying hero’s, never show the parts like how they tried to make the UK follow their segregation policies against black troops, we had gotten rid of such rules many years beforehand
@@revol148 The first scene of the movie shows the crew repairing the tank with a dead crewmember in it. Upon returning to the rally point, we learn that Fury is the only tank in their section that didn't get blown to hell. A crewman in another tank who they seem to know is so overcome with fear and shock at the carnage he has witnessed that he blows his own hand off with a grenade to get out of getting sent back into combat (though that was edited out ofthe final cut). As Fury rolls through the camp, trucks are loaded with dead soldiers. Nurses and corpsmen are dumping buckets of blood and used bandages outside a field hospital. The new guy's first job: sponge the blood and skin of the aforementioned dead crewman out of his crew station. Shortly after rolling out, the lead tank in the column cobbled together from the remnants of the otherwise wiped-out battalion gets hit with a Panzerfaust. The crew dies screaming, trapped inside the tank as it's engulfed in flames. Save for the TC, who managed to clamber out of the turret, fall to the ground, and spare himself any further agony by pulling a bullet through his own head. AAAAAAAND that just about covers the first 20 minutes. By the time the movie is over, the frightened FNG who joined the crew in the beginning is the only tanker featured in the whole movie to make it out alive due to a combination of luck, and a merciful young Wehrmacht soldier who pretends not to see him, sparing his life as he hides under the tank waiting for them to leave. It would appear that your snarky, "knowing," cynically clever assessment of this movie was in no way influenced or biased by having actually bothered to watch it. Or any other American-made war movie of the past 25+ years.
I absolutely love the comms in this scene prior to the battle properly heating up. Such a good example of how hard you have to work sometimes to make it work smoothly, rather than in most movies, where someone just shouts one order and everything runs like clockwork.
@@Brucey69 To which do you refer? The communication before the PAKs open fire or the battle between the Shermans and PAKs? Battle? Yes it is unrealistic. I agree completely, even stormtroopers have better aim. Communication? No, that's on point and accurate as Chris stated. People are human and sometimes need to correct a lot when there's a lot of variables in the scenario they are facing.
My Dad was in the 4th Armored Division, CCA as a Tanker from the Breakout , Bastonge and the 'Rat Race' to the very end. NO WAY those Kraut Anti-Tank guns could miss like that at 200 yards or less. Dad said they were accurate as all get out and ALWAYS had their ranges marked. The Kraut guns were so high velocity and with such tough armor piercing tips, they would not deflect off a Sherman at that range.... Dad said in the whole war he only saw one Kraut round deflect.. Even at a 10 degree angle, they would blow through a Sherman like a hot knife through butter.
dude this is a movie,not a historical recreation, with all due respect fuck the story, it's a movie made to make america look amazing and the german "sucks" here, next time complain that the storm troopers don't hit Luke ever in the movies...
@Miria noSix Okay, why and how is it moronic? It’s pretty much what anyone would say if they were dealing a crew member who refused to do his task. If anything, it helps push the story foward by not only establishing the relationship of the tank crew by showing Gordo’s increasing frustration with Norman, but also further establishes Normans character. It’s far from moronic. In fact, it’s kind of essential.
@mirianosix9274 despite how you feel about being yelled at in this situation he's basically a liability being too timid and scared to pull the trigger. It puts his squad at risk of immediate death so hurting someone's feelings or so called being wrong about yelling at him is not something anyone would care about especially if your life is one the line
@@VonRammsteyn sturmtruppen translates as storm troopers however in WW2 they were part of the Nazi SS instead of the regular military and renamed the Sturmabteilung
@@greenglassman in a magazine they would stack the ammo like so: Tracer, normal, normal, normal, normal, Tracer, normal, normal, normal, normal, Tracer, normal, normal, normal, normal. Helps you track your shots to the target. Also scary that in between each tracer there's been 4-5 rounds already fired so in effect there's a lot of shit flying your way if you see tracers. Some forces tend not to use them because they reveal your location and there are better alternatives for ammunition. But in a stand up fight like this it doesn't matter. They know where you are and you have a rough idea of where they are (treeline AT guns) so they just let rip. War is hell bro.
PAK 40 anti-tank gun rate of fire was up to 14 rounds per minute. In this scene it only fires 4 times in 2 minutes at sitting duck targets, from a dug in position and would have presighted range, yet misses everytime. Make believe Hollywood twaddle.
@@Delpuertadecabethathe PAK 40 anti-tank gun is actually bad at aiming due to the barrel being long or something like that, so you would have to be close to use the gun to hit the tank so it makes sense that it missed its targets
@@theparanormalattractionsnah, they all would have been destroyed in real life. The AT guns have optics too. In Tunisia German afrika corps destroyed like 70-80 Sherman’s with just AT guns alone
Anti-tank gun crew to their officer: "Sir, several enemy tanks ahead". Officer: "Hmmm, send an MG to the suicidal spot in the open field. Then let them come under 800m, which is a standard tank clash distance." Crew: "But sir..!!! Officer: "Silence! Wait, until the tanks collect all the enemy infantry and let them come deadly close...and then aim the empty places between the tanks." Crew: "Oh boy, now i know, why we lost this war..."
"um actually" letting the tanks get to 500m was a good choice, since the pak 40 penetrates the front armor at 500m, which means every hit should have been deadly. Instead we got bouncy action.
what a total utter crapfest. this the equivalent of shindlers list with stern donning a cape and punching all the germans out, then flying into the air, and ending ww2 for the usa. even though hes polish.
@@fredfinksin another scene the Tiger leaves the safety of it's cover to fight other tanks out on an open field (no tank commander would ever do that), the Fury is an M4A2E8 Sherman also known as the "Easy Eight" which was a much weaker tank vs. the Tiger which was an absolute beast, no way in hell would an Easy Eight ever defeat a Tiger, this is typical Hollywood bullshit. Still, if you put that aside it's a good movie, i quite enjoyed it.
@@foty8679 For some books I have been reading, in the German army tracers were specifically used for air/ground coordination. But maybe they had other purposes, I don't know ?
that soldier at 3:57 looking up while being in the trenches always got to me. its like literally inches away from possibly being killed instantly and no where to go while 4 tanks and a hundred soldiers coming towards you and your ally tanks behind you are gone.
Bear in mind this is in Spring 1945, the gun crews are most likely very inexperienced, and the sight of an American armoured column advancing towards them would only make that worse. All things considered they gave a decent account of themselves
"It ain't pretty, but it's what we do." So many great lines and scenes in this movie. I can't believe I never knew about this movie until just a few months ago. It's f**king awesome.
I don't care how unrealistic this movie is because the scene at 3:51 is like the 2nd greatest part of the movie. Seeing all those guns firing is awesome.

Even though the battles are historically inaccurate (strategy wise) especially that tank scene I have to say using an actual functioning Tiger tank is really impressive
@@prvt.harumi6821 Tigers were notorious for mechanical breakdowns. So yeah Germans couldn't keep them functioning for long but one which survived is still functioning in Bovington!
Ugh, as someone who studied history...particularly WW2, American History books are such rubbish 😵. While the Americans deserve much credit on the Pacific front, the same can't be said about the European front.
I'ts a movie. If it was realistic, the tanks would sit back and call in overwhelming air, and artillery strikes, since it was 1945, almost at the end of the war.
@@phil4487 clearly you haven’t studied enough. The US kept the war going for the UK and USSR (both Churchill and Stalin said they could not go on with the US). They supplied the entire war effort and secured the Atlantic. They then partook in Africa, Italy, and Western Europe, fighting the Germans on three fronts, all the while fighting Japan at the same time. The US deserves the most credit out of any country during WW2. We did the most.
I love how Trini was yelling Norm for doing wrong but when Norm starts to break it down, Trini just gently tell him "it's what we do" because no matter what, they're on the same side and they're already brothers since when Norm entered that tank
I know the Germans were the enemy. But I still have to tip my hat to the PAK gunners in this scene. It's very brave and patriotic to, as a blind man, volunteer to serve your country on the front line.
the pak 40 is effective at range of 1,800 m(1969 yd ) against most types of Allied tanks, including the Soviet T-34 and American Sherman. The weapon, along with the famous 88 mm, was considered one of the best anti-tank guns of the war.
@@greatunclestroller7179 Oh for sure, they should be toast. SS soldiers may have been despicable, but they were good soldiers and I'm sure they could aim. One of the AT guns even had several victory markings on it, so if they've already had several successful engagements they should have been able to hit them no problem. Maybe might get a (un)lucky bounce off the front plate of the Jumbo at an angle, but the others it would punch right through. You're correct
Same with the bomb sights that American bombers had. Closely guarded military secret at the time, but it made our high altitude bombers more effective.
@@sajjadalikhan the reputation of the SS being elite units is propaganda. They were chosen for irrelevant physical characteristics( e.g. Hair/eye color) send political beliefs/reliability. They were well equipped, by German standards, but poor soldiers
Lol its like did you think we came here to bake cookies? I get it though, some people have a more fragile mental constitution than others. Nowadays the majority of fighting age males would be that kid in my opinion. A draft would almost be pointless.
It was his way of being compassionate in the moment. Understanding that the kid cracked. Even the tank commander held back when telling him to turn off his comms. This is why drafts are dumb, as ugly as war is, you need someone who can compartmentalize that trauma and deal with it later, so they can focus on the mission at hand.
I was trained as antitank guner , I could say from this position , well hidden antitank gun has excellent chances to knock out 1-2 tanks. This scene is completely hollywood style :)
yeah, i think that they should have started with more tanks in the beginning of the movie so that they can be realistically whittled down. I get they wanted to show the power of the Tiger by having it destroy 3 of the 4 in the column and ramp up movie tension, but the filmmakers could have gotten the same result if they started with 6 tanks and lost 2 in this skirmish. Better yet, start with 7 and lose another one in the town
the germans accidently reset their skill points after the first attack on the American forces. They clearly forgot to spend points in anti-tank accuracy.
In real life, the Germans were getting rolled over in every which direction in 1945. Too many fucking wehraboo's in these comments, mad that their fabled Nazi supermen lost the war.
Saying "Shoot at the nazis!" is completely stupid. Nazi is an abbreviation for National Socialist and refers to a member of the NSDAP (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei / national socialist german worker's party). Referring to all german soldiers in WW2 as nazis is like calling all american soldier in WW2 "democrats" because Roosevelt and Truman were democrats.
@@Betterhose it's not stupid, those guys are tired battle hardened men, you think they give a fuck about either the right term for the political party or for the wehr? This was a front line perspective anyone that is armed and wears swastikas are nazis to them. When germany completely collapsed the discrimination on german people was high if you're a german you're a nazi. Go read it, it's real
In my opinion, Fury does a REALLY good job of depicting what it was like to be a tanker in WW2. They do a really good job of showing what it was like to live that life, how you can just die without warning, have friends that are there one minute, gone the next, and showing the camaraderie that existed between tank crew members. That is what I feel Fury did really well. Unfortunately the combat scenes are very unrealistic, which is really unfortunate considering the potential the movie had, especially since it was using all real tanks, including the last fully functioning Tiger in the world, which has never been done before. I still love it, and still think it’s the best WW2 tank movie out there, but damn I wish it was more historically accurate.
One thing a lot of people Miss is that the Sherman's intended role was for what they're showing here. Taking out Machine Gun Nest and hardened positions. It was not intended to go toe-to-toe in tank battle. A lot of infantrymen came home because the Sherman did its job. And, especially after the wet ammo innovation, tank crew deaths were a fraction of infantry deaths. In many cases, the tank was disabled and the crew escaped and the tank was recovered and put back into service after repairs. It's very dramatic to show a Tiger tank in a defensive location destroying a tank and killing all the crew but it's not the reality.
So I thought I should look it up since my memory is fuzzy and here's the quote "For the US they were incredibly low - 8% of tankers were killed vs 18% of Rifleman. Only 1581 American tankers were killed in all of WW2 - All types of tanks, in all theatres - Adjutant General's Report. 1/3 of those weren't even in the tanks when they died."
@@macmcleod1188 Yeah that’s true 100%, something that I indeed forgot to mention. Sherman was one of the best infantry support tanks, and this scene in specific does do a good job of showing it
- How do we defend Herr Commandant ? Should we concentrate all of our fire power at once on one tank ? - No Hans ! Fire the MG first even though it will do nothing and our AT guns have 5 times the range of the MG. Then, you wait for the MG to die until you fire the first canon, then you wait until the first canon dies before you open fire with the second. Then you die.
2 + 2 = 4, we stating the obvious here? I watched the movie 2 times, enjoyed it both times because I'm not analyzing each scene with an autistic drive of proving a point. If you want realism, watch "come and see".
@@TheMysteryMushroom "Come and See" bordered on the surreal. Brilliant movie - different method. Unfortunately, the consistent "non-tactics" of the German forces in "Fury" bordered on the ridiculous. An SS battalion ( likely including veterans of Kursk)held up and mauled by a single crippled Sherman?!?! Not an apologist for Adolf and his lot, but no. Just no.
@@twcnz3570 I still want to see that 1985 Soviet movie, Elim Klimov’s final film and masterpiece. I’ve heard great things about it, it’s the horror of war movie to end all horror of war movies.
My grandfather stormed Juno Beach with the North Nova Scotia Highlanders on D-Day. He was a "sapper". A great man with a deadpan sense of humor. Rest in peace.
How bad this movie really is, the tanks would never got out of their cover of the hedge and advance to the treelinie. They would have stayed there and blasted the treelinie with everything they got, or called in an airstrike like in a Bridge to far. The infantry would never advanced like that with the tanks, standing behind a tank makes you a target for enemy fire especially if you know that they have anti tank guns. Band of brother shows how infantry would advance. The Germans also are portrayed pretty bad, they are entrenched in a good position, easily killed of a column of American vehicles, and now a machine gun would open fire on a tank before the PAK? Or they would just shoot on the tank not on the infantry behind it or the tank commanders and extra machine gunner standing on top of the tank? Pls just fire any „military“ or „historic“ consultant on this movie and never ever employ him in anything other than a fantastic flick.
This scene is EXACTLY how infantry and tanks worked together to assault across a large open area. RUclips is full of actual documentary footage of tanks and grunts working together like this. Also, it's a myth that the US had so much air and artillery always available that they could just blow up every bush that might have a Nazi hiding in it.
They missed 4 tanks who were making random evasive turns whilst returning fire, and they nearly killed em a few times, including one dead on ricochet. Not really a fantasy movie, just battlefield tactics. Granted, no one complained when we were saving them from the nazis. Now the King Tiger battle later on is where the movie jumped the shark
You also have to remember this is at a later stage in the war, so the German Army is starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel in terms of manpower, plus all the experienced troops are over on the eastern front fighting the Russians, so the ones fighting the allies are either young and poorly trained, or simply not as battle hardened. In fact, after the victory over France, Western Europe became pretty much a relaxation location for German soldiers and officers, being assigned to duty in Western Europe before D-day was living the high life for a German soldier and/or officer, while the Eastern front became very much every soldier’s worst nightmare, to the point that such an assignment was seen and used, as a punishment.
Something that probably would've made this scene better is if they had one of the Shermans get hit, but not necessarily destroyed, by the Pak. It would've been more realistic, made the Germans an actual threat, and also show how often times in war, tanks don't just explode when they get hit. Often times, they just take damage and are abandoned by their crews. Could've had a follow up scene where once they enter the town, a replacement Sherman arrives, showing the material advantage the allies had at this stage of the war as well.
These scenes were filmed at Shirburn Watlington Oxfordshire. I was working as a telecoms engineer in this area and had never seen a large film production on this scale . I was amazed at the amount of temporary buildings and hundreds of people all involved in this film. It’s something I’ll never forget. I also think the scenes are so realistic that’s why the film is so good.
American boys' accuracy +100, nazis accuracy -100, all hits missed the targets, even bazzoka guy had to pray a bit before shooting so he scored his own death with a head squashed.
Well, you work with what you got, and that tree line would have been very crowded if the infantry protecting the PAKs also had its positions there. You work with the space and terrain that’s there.
Germans in good position, stable aim, having most effective anti tank gun in that time and visible targets. Shermans on the move, no vision, jerking terrain. Hollywood:- Shermans win.
I saw this movie in the cinema and in the room with there best sound system, that riccochet was un-belivable, made we go back and se it a 2nd and a 3rd time hehe.
Fresh conscripts are probably operating it. It's April 1945, literally days from the end. German army was near annihilation and when they drafted they took whoever they could. Besides, mistakes happen.
not only that but its kinda funny how first the MG42 opens up. Then its gone then one PaK opens up then thats gone. Then another PaK opens and is gone, then the infantry is all ohh hey we have panzerfausts. Its like something out of a kung fu movie where the hero is surrounded by like 40 guys but they only attack one at a time.
I love the tone and intensity of this film, however, even historical accuracy aside, if the combat scenes were half-way plausible, Fury could be remembered as a great war film. It's a shame. I still like it though.
**Panzerfaust appears** Brad Pitt: Panzerfau ! Gordo: Hey! Get hit, get him ! Machine: I'm loading the gun !!! Panzerfaust guy: I wonder why Hitler didn't invite me this year to his pool party... was it because I came with a speedo last time? he didn't say anything about a dress code... I even brought a cake, others only brought potato chips and cheap soda, his loss I suppose... I should probably call Helga and tell her not to bake that... **gets shot**
2 years late... but that could describe pretty much all scenes in the movie... Especially the last stand against 100+ soldiers in a tank that cant move.
@@chocolat-kun8689 this was towards the end of the war. The German War machine had been thoroughly crippled by this point. These were mop up operations.
@@Surfer041 Of course, I know that, it's just I wouldn't expect what looked like a 75mm PaK to just bounce off a Sherman's front plate at such a close range. However, on rewatching the clip it looked like it hit the side of the tank, which I would expect to cause a ricochet. However, this raises another problem... why would hitting the side of a tank cause it to ricochet upward?

The obliterated torso being flung into the air is weirdly realistic and brutal.

So the Sherman hits the MG team dug into a fox hole while moving and a antitank gun that was sitting there for 10 minutes watching the tank completely misses from head on?

@Taylor welcome to the Hollywood treatment of the second world war - where the Americans never seem to die !
@@revol148 they always portray them as the undying hero’s, never show the parts like how they tried to make the UK follow their segregation policies against black troops, we had gotten rid of such rules many years beforehand
@@revol148 The first scene of the movie shows the crew repairing the tank with a dead crewmember in it. Upon returning to the rally point, we learn that Fury is the only tank in their section that didn't get blown to hell. A crewman in another tank who they seem to know is so overcome with fear and shock at the carnage he has witnessed that he blows his own hand off with a grenade to get out of getting sent back into combat (though that was edited out ofthe final cut).
As Fury rolls through the camp, trucks are loaded with dead soldiers. Nurses and corpsmen are dumping buckets of blood and used bandages outside a field hospital.
The new guy's first job: sponge the blood and skin of the aforementioned dead crewman out of his crew station.
Shortly after rolling out, the lead tank in the column cobbled together from the remnants of the otherwise wiped-out battalion gets hit with a Panzerfaust. The crew dies screaming, trapped inside the tank as it's engulfed in flames. Save for the TC, who managed to clamber out of the turret, fall to the ground, and spare himself any further agony by pulling a bullet through his own head.
AAAAAAAND that just about covers the first 20 minutes. By the time the movie is over, the frightened FNG who joined the crew in the beginning is the only tanker featured in the whole movie to make it out alive due to a combination of luck, and a merciful young Wehrmacht soldier who pretends not to see him, sparing his life as he hides under the tank waiting for them to leave.
It would appear that your snarky, "knowing," cynically clever assessment of this movie was in no way influenced or biased by having actually bothered to watch it. Or any other American-made war movie of the past 25+ years.
I absolutely love the comms in this scene prior to the battle properly heating up. Such a good example of how hard you have to work sometimes to make it work smoothly, rather than in most movies, where someone just shouts one order and everything runs like clockwork.
ON THE WAAAAY
It’s completely inaccurate and essentially a fairytale
@@Brucey69 To which do you refer? The communication before the PAKs open fire or the battle between the Shermans and PAKs?
Battle? Yes it is unrealistic. I agree completely, even stormtroopers have better aim.
Communication? No, that's on point and accurate as Chris stated. People are human and sometimes need to correct a lot when there's a lot of variables in the scenario they are facing.
"Knuckle up!"
Merry Christmas ya filthy animal
My Dad was in the 4th Armored Division, CCA as a Tanker from the Breakout , Bastonge and the 'Rat Race' to the very end. NO WAY those Kraut Anti-Tank guns could miss like that at 200 yards or less. Dad said they were accurate as all get out and ALWAYS had their ranges marked. The Kraut guns were so high velocity and with such tough armor piercing tips, they would not deflect off a Sherman at that range.... Dad said in the whole war he only saw one Kraut round deflect.. Even at a 10 degree angle, they would blow through a Sherman like a hot knife through butter.
Cool.

For some reason, I REALLY love that line.
@Miria noSix Said no one.
@Miria noSix Okay, why and how is it moronic? It’s pretty much what anyone would say if they were dealing a crew member who refused to do his task. If anything, it helps push the story foward by not only establishing the relationship of the tank crew by showing Gordo’s increasing frustration with Norman, but also further establishes Normans character. It’s far from moronic. In fact, it’s kind of essential.

Tracer, normal, normal, normal, normal, Tracer, normal, normal, normal, normal, Tracer, normal, normal, normal, normal.
Helps you track your shots to the target. Also scary that in between each tracer there's been 4-5 rounds already fired so in effect there's a lot of shit flying your way if you see tracers. Some forces tend not to use them because they reveal your location and there are better alternatives for ammunition. But in a stand up fight like this it doesn't matter. They know where you are and you have a rough idea of where they are (treeline AT guns) so they just let rip. War is hell bro.
@@MrAdamske Are you a vet or just a war junkie? Not trying to be condescending, just curious.
PAK 40 anti-tank gun rate of fire was up to 14 rounds per minute. In this scene it only fires 4 times in 2 minutes at sitting duck targets, from a dug in position and would have presighted range, yet misses everytime. Make believe Hollywood twaddle.
not sure they would miss that much with the high quality optics in open field of view. its an amazin movie
@@Delpuertadecabethathe PAK 40 anti-tank gun is actually bad at aiming due to the barrel being long or something like that, so you would have to be close to use the gun to hit the tank so it makes sense that it missed its targets

Then let them come under 800m, which is a standard tank clash distance." Crew: "But sir..!!! Officer: "Silence! Wait, until the tanks collect all the enemy infantry and let them come deadly close...and then aim the empty places between the tanks." Crew: "Oh boy, now i know, why we lost this war..."
LOOOOOOL, the best comment I read over here
Tak to je dobré 😂
Maybe the officer was a distant cousin of Dan Sickles? (How’s THAT for obscure humor?)
Actually it was: let them come under 80 m !
"um actually" letting the tanks get to 500m was a good choice, since the pak 40 penetrates the front armor at 500m, which means every hit should have been deadly. Instead we got bouncy action.
This movie will be a decade old this year, i can't believe it, i remember when it was released like it was yesterday.
Amazing, isn't it, that a decade has slipped by that quickly? I also remember when I first saw it, and just like yesterday, too.

@@fredfinksin another scene the Tiger leaves the safety of it's cover to fight other tanks out on an open field (no tank commander would ever do that), the Fury is an M4A2E8 Sherman also known as the "Easy Eight" which was a much weaker tank vs. the Tiger which was an absolute beast, no way in hell would an Easy Eight ever defeat a Tiger, this is typical Hollywood bullshit.

The US deserves the most credit out of any country during WW2. We did the most.
I love how Trini was yelling Norm for doing wrong but when Norm starts to break it down, Trini just gently tell him "it's what we do" because no matter what, they're on the same side and they're already brothers since when Norm entered that tank
It's a great movie with some brilliant set pieces and top acting but in reality those Pak 40's wouldn't have consistently missed at that range.
Their reactive plot armor was too thick.
Despite the seemingly infinite number of historical inaccuracies in this movie, it’s still nice to watch.
I know the Germans were the enemy. But I still have to tip my hat to the PAK gunners in this scene. It's very brave and patriotic to, as a blind man, volunteer to serve your country on the front line.

I should tell my Friend this 😅
💀
If %100 of the german troops had been on the western front , ,the glorious german army would have scattered the us troops to million pieces.
Estás seguro que eran voluntarios??
the pak 40 is effective at range of 1,800 m(1969 yd ) against most types of Allied tanks, including the Soviet T-34 and American Sherman. The weapon, along with the famous 88 mm, was considered one of the best anti-tank guns of the war.
Not here
they are only good if they manage to hit their targets
effective doesn't mean 'kill every time'

yeah, i think that they should have started with more tanks in the beginning of the movie so that they can be realistically whittled down. I get they wanted to show the power of the Tiger by having it destroy 3 of the 4 in the column and ramp up movie tension, but the filmmakers could have gotten the same result if they started with 6 tanks and lost 2 in this skirmish. Better yet, start with 7 and lose another one in the town

@@AkimboJV It wasn’t for CQB, it was for keeping the enemy suppressed while advancing.
I remember watching this in a RPX theater. Every time these tanks would fire their shells you’d feel it throughout the entire theater.
In my opinion, Fury does a REALLY good job of depicting what it was like to be a tanker in WW2. They do a really good job of showing what it was like to live that life, how you can just die without warning, have friends that are there one minute, gone the next, and showing the camaraderie that existed between tank crew members. That is what I feel Fury did really well. Unfortunately the combat scenes are very unrealistic, which is really unfortunate considering the potential the movie had, especially since it was using all real tanks, including the last fully functioning Tiger in the world, which has never been done before. I still love it, and still think it’s the best WW2 tank movie out there, but damn I wish it was more historically accurate.
Agree completely.
One thing a lot of people Miss is that the Sherman's intended role was for what they're showing here. Taking out Machine Gun Nest and hardened positions. It was not intended to go toe-to-toe in tank battle. A lot of infantrymen came home because the Sherman did its job.
And, especially after the wet ammo innovation, tank crew deaths were a fraction of infantry deaths. In many cases, the tank was disabled and the crew escaped and the tank was recovered and put back into service after repairs.
It's very dramatic to show a Tiger tank in a defensive location destroying a tank and killing all the crew but it's not the reality.
So I thought I should look it up since my memory is fuzzy and here's the quote
"For the US they were incredibly low - 8% of tankers were killed vs 18% of Rifleman. Only 1581 American tankers were killed in all of WW2 - All types of tanks, in all theatres - Adjutant General's Report. 1/3 of those weren't even in the tanks when they died."
@@macmcleod1188 Yeah that’s true 100%, something that I indeed forgot to mention. Sherman was one of the best infantry support tanks, and this scene in specific does do a good job of showing it
Kelly's Heroes would put this movie to shame but yeah it one good WW2 movie.
- How do we defend Herr Commandant ? Should we concentrate all of our fire power at once on one tank ?
- No Hans ! Fire the MG first even though it will do nothing and our AT guns have 5 times the range of the MG. Then, you wait for the MG to die until you fire the first canon, then you wait until the first canon dies before you open fire with the second. Then you die.
The vehicles, props, uniforms and weapons are all damn good and realistic in the movie. The plot and battle scenes are complete Hollywierd bullshit.
If you dont like hollywierd bullshit I can recomend The Unknown Soldier movie

How bad this movie really is, the tanks would never got out of their cover of the hedge and advance to the treelinie. They would have stayed there and blasted the treelinie with everything they got, or called in an airstrike like in a Bridge to far. The infantry would never advanced like that with the tanks, standing behind a tank makes you a target for enemy fire especially if you know that they have anti tank guns. Band of brother shows how infantry would advance.
The Germans also are portrayed pretty bad, they are entrenched in a good position, easily killed of a column of American vehicles, and now a machine gun would open fire on a tank before the PAK? Or they would just shoot on the tank not on the infantry behind it or the tank commanders and extra machine gunner standing on top of the tank?

@@mynamejeff785 just a regular Tiger.
No tanks. No movie. It's called plot.
You also have to remember this is at a later stage in the war, so the German Army is starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel in terms of manpower, plus all the experienced troops are over on the eastern front fighting the Russians, so the ones fighting the allies are either young and poorly trained, or simply not as battle hardened. In fact, after the victory over France, Western Europe became pretty much a relaxation location for German soldiers and officers, being assigned to duty in Western Europe before D-day was living the high life for a German soldier and/or officer, while the Eastern front became very much every soldier’s worst nightmare, to the point that such an assignment was seen and used, as a punishment.

Something that probably would've made this scene better is if they had one of the Shermans get hit, but not necessarily destroyed, by the Pak. It would've been more realistic, made the Germans an actual threat, and also show how often times in war, tanks don't just explode when they get hit. Often times, they just take damage and are abandoned by their crews. Could've had a follow up scene where once they enter the town, a replacement Sherman arrives, showing the material advantage the allies had at this stage of the war as well.
These scenes were filmed at Shirburn Watlington Oxfordshire. I was working as a telecoms engineer in this area and had never seen a large film production on this scale . I was amazed at the amount of temporary buildings and hundreds of people all involved in this film. It’s something I’ll never forget. I also think the scenes are so realistic that’s why the film is so good.
Awesome to know that you got to see the filming location!
@@InvestmentJoy americano ?
Realistic?Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha joke of a film for realism
if you can’t say something positive then keep your negativity to yourself.
American boys' accuracy +100, nazis accuracy -100, all hits missed the targets, even bazzoka guy had to pray a bit before shooting so he scored his own death with a head squashed.
The "bazzoka" is actually a Panzerfaust.
First, how do you know they are nazis ?
Second, that's not a bazooka.
If it misses a target it can't be a hit. A hit is when, well when you hit something.
The Germans didn’t usually put troops and mg/s out in the open when there was a perfectly good tree line right behind them.
and Positions always was flanked by german snipers and motars, where are they when fight in an american propaganda movie?
Well, you work with what you got, and that tree line would have been very crowded if the infantry protecting the PAKs also had its positions there.
You work with the space and terrain that’s there.
This absolutely nice scene if I ignore the starwars beam
Tracers. The Germans were green.
Gun specs on the internet: "Accurate up to 4 miles"
Gun specs in the movie: "Accurate up to 4 millimetres"
Based Lee.
All the tracers make it look like Star Wars. Esp when they use green and red lol
where u think Lucas got the idea
One of the most amazing things I've ever seen were live night fires with tracer. It looks just like star wars. It's freaking crazy.
well actually star wars looks like that because of WWII. Americans and brits used red tracers while the germans used green.
@@ThePizzaGoblin very true
How do you think they filmed star wars? They just shot each other with tracers.
Germans in good position, stable aim, having most effective anti tank gun in that time and visible targets.
Shermans on the move, no vision, jerking terrain.
Hollywood:- Shermans win.
German accuracy in movies:
German accuracy in reallife:
💀💀💀💀💀
The guy with the anti-tank weapon suffered a bigger stroke then the loader in the Tiger when they were fighting Fury
... a bigger stroke than*
Blood and death everywhere, bratt pitts haircut is still perfect!!!
I saw this movie in the cinema and in the room with there best sound system, that riccochet was un-belivable, made we go back and se it a 2nd and a 3rd time hehe.
Haha I remember that, for a split second it felt real, dobly atmos full surround or something like that
@@rezlongboards3918 also the MG3 earlyer inn that scene made the hole cinema rumble
The best armor is the power of the script in the movie.
Well emplaced and concealed PaK 40's with the advantage of surprise couldn't hit a row of Sherman's at what would be considered point blank range.
Fresh conscripts are probably operating it. It's April 1945, literally days from the end. German army was near annihilation and when they drafted they took whoever they could. Besides, mistakes happen.
not only that but its kinda funny how first the MG42 opens up. Then its gone then one PaK opens up then thats gone. Then another PaK opens and is gone, then the infantry is all ohh hey we have panzerfausts. Its like something out of a kung fu movie where the hero is surrounded by like 40 guys but they only attack one at a time.
Man it's almost like Germany lost the war or something.
Crazy how what you read in forum posts probably isnt't actually reflective of reality.
@@TheNerdForAllSeasons Yep. If the Nazis were as good at war as their fanboys here try to claim, we would all be speaking German.
Clemson Driver the panzerfaust can only be used at extremely close range.
I love the tone and intensity of this film, however, even historical accuracy aside, if the combat scenes were half-way plausible, Fury could be remembered as a great war film. It's a shame. I still like it though.
Air Strike ?
Isn't it remembered as a great war film?
**Panzerfaust appears**
Brad Pitt: Panzerfau !
Gordo: Hey! Get hit, get him !
Machine: I'm loading the gun !!!
Panzerfaust guy: I wonder why Hitler didn't invite me this year to his pool party... was it because I came with a speedo last time? he didn't say anything about a dress code... I even brought a cake, others only brought potato chips and cheap soda, his loss I suppose... I should probably call Helga and tell her not to bake that... **gets shot**
Man, don't say him like that. He was lagging. I feel his pain bro. XD
It was probably because of the speedo.
This made my damn day man lmao.
@TheMz Haha, may be. May be.
HES LAG and got 999 Ping
Thank you boy's 🇧🇪🗽🇺🇲
boys* (plural, no apostrophe. I know, it's correct in Dutch and Flemish, but not in English).
4:54 really, tf2 sniper sounds
LOL STOP XD
ikr
That placement of a machine gun in open terrain like 20 meters in front of perfectly fine coverage is not the best tactical placement.
I'm glad that they placed machine guns 20 meters in front of perfectly fine coverage. Or we would be speaking german right now.
I love when he says " You a Doctor"
It's like watching starwars with those flashy bullets they're firing
Those "flashy bullets" are called tracer rounds.
“All I see are dead bodies…”
“HOW YOU KNOW ARE YOU A DOCTOR?!?!…”
Glad this made the script. 🤩
David Ayer: How stupid do you want this movie?
Hollywood: Yes.
seen a better one? i don't think so. they're all not accurate
@@timmeke_8213 Accuracy is the least of the problems lmao
This has got to be one of the most unbelievable war movies I ever seen.
im sure you can enrich us with knowledge from your numerous combat encounters
@@lol-un6nl I've seen better tactics from COD players than this movie.
2 years late... but that could describe pretty much all scenes in the movie... Especially the last stand against 100+ soldiers in a tank that cant move.
Oh, but our beloved T34 movie is so much more realistic.
Grow up.
@@matthewjones39 Never seen that movie
What an amazing piece of cinema this was! Can only imagine what it was like on the field in actual moments like that… just insane.
"Okay, just so it doesn't seem like the Germans are totally incompetent, let's make it so they actually hit one of the tanks but it ricochets off."
@@chocolat-kun8689 this was towards the end of the war. The German War machine had been thoroughly crippled by this point. These were mop up operations.
@@Surfer041 Surely they weren't so crippled as to use soft steel in their ap rounds though!
@@JakeTheOnion tanks were designed so that shells would ricochet of them if they hit at a certain angle
@@Surfer041 Of course, I know that, it's just I wouldn't expect what looked like a 75mm PaK to just bounce off a Sherman's front plate at such a close range. However, on rewatching the clip it looked like it hit the side of the tank, which I would expect to cause a ricochet. However, this raises another problem... why would hitting the side of a tank cause it to ricochet upward?
@@JakeTheOnion trajectory of the shell, speed and angle tank is moving at? I'm not a military expert, and this is a movie.
Fight? The germans missed all the shoots.
By April 1945, Germany was collapsing fast. Those guys on the AT guns probably got little to zero training for that thing.
@@garmenlin5990 its called plot armor smart ass
@@steviejohnson378 From a movie standpoint, yes. From a historic standpoint, also yes.
@@garmenlin5990 but there were a lot of germans that came from the East Front. That means veterans with quite experience.
@@steviejohnson378 It's not plot armour. He is right. The quality of the troops on the Western front was atrocious at this stage.
2:44 that's friggin awesome
2:45 🏍️ sound I hear
