April, 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy (Brad Pitt) commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and outgunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.

The backround soldiers are great in this scene. The way they act like its no big deal shows how much killing they've seen.
theyre actors man
@@zacharygreen2895 No shit? What's your point?
@@crimsoncherry3525you wouldnt last a day in this movie set man
@@jessemedina4482 thats called acting
@@zacharygreen2895 bro no fucking shit it's a movie
I love how after that whole situation when Brad Pitt was kneeling there he was almost, not necessarily regretful for what he did, but more so realized how much he must have changed since the beginning of the war. Realizing that not everyone is capable of doing monstrous things with ease.
That's the thing. Everyone is capable. Norman starts this film as an indealistic young pup. He has a good heart and he sees the futility in war, but at the same time he's completely ignorant to the realities of war. His growth throughout the film is equally tragic and triumphant.
@@jaybeam1466 I understand what you mean, but I disagree. I think there are many people, who would rather die than do the things seen in war. Granted, have I ever been in a war? No, but I know that life is not something for me to take. Though I think this is a topic that is debatable, I just simply don't see how everyone on this God given earth is secretly able to do horrible things, as if you just have to be pushed far enough. That's my take on it. God bless.
I think so too. On top of that it might be when he realizes he is so changed he can't go home, and he does not have a home that is not Fury.
didnt your god make you a born sinner? whats the problem here@@CatThwomper
@@jackl7778 God didn't make me born a sinner, I am born unto adam, therefore I am born unto sin (so it's adams fault). Though I have been reborn into Christ, therefore I am saved.
But even though I have been born into sin, that doesn't give me a free ticket to sin.
Love that you see the German soldier that is getting his leg treated is looking in terror as Brad Pitt walks of.
@@dps2646 because the German soldier that got shot had a US army jacket on. So technically they could shoot him without it being taken as a war crime.
They treated that German soldier since according to Geneva convention any prisoner of war has to be treated if able with the same care and standard as your own soldiers.
Plus makes less sense to equip an American in German uniform and let a German combat medic treat him.
The German medic treating his troops is a dead giveaway.
Edit: That other guy that challenged the comment deleted his comment 😂
@@mikkel066h No it is a war crime since he was still wearing his own uniform under the US jacket.
@@mikkel066h the guy in Furys squad is wearing a German helmet. Should he be killed to? Grady is wearing a Wehrmacht jacket and helmet
@@MrNewAbortion1 It a technicality. Would red cross or any military official look at this incident and take time to gather enough evidence to make a case that it was a war crime. Likely not since the German was in an American jacket and it would need eye witnesses to testify and a whole lot of other things for this count towards a war crime.
Plus matters little that you are wearing the German uniform under the jacket. Tha law protects people that can clearly be identified as one side or the other.
“It is especially forbidden … to make improper use … of the national flag or of the military insignia and uniform of the enemy.”
and
The Geneva convention "Clothing, usually of a specific colour/design, and insignia, worn by members of the same military unit. In international armed conflicts, combatants have an obligation to distinguish themselves from the civilian population and this can be achieved by wearing a uniform. Therefore, members of the armed forces engaged in or preparing an attack without wearing a uniform and/or failing to *carry their arms openly are not entitled to the status of prisoner of war*. The feigning of protected status by wearing the uniforms of the United Nations or of a neutral or other non-belligerent State is prohibited by IHL. A combatant attempting to gather information on the territory of the adverse party while in uniform shall not be considered a spy (and will therefore benefit from prisoner of war status if captured).
Upham from Saving Private Ryan wouldn’t last a day with the Fury crew
Word
He was such a pathetic disappointment. Great actor, and the real man was great. But the character writing was abhorrent
@@fenrirrising131 He is by far one of the most aggravating characters I’ve ever watched on a big screen
Upham would’ve been better off as a POW, lest he rat, which he probably would’ve… never mind, he’s better off working latrines lol
They would have turned him into a real soldier tbh like they did this guy
War or no war, Brad Pitt hair is divine.
Yes, he does have nice hair.
He also has a beautiful mangina.
@@fredhammer6413 🤨
no having a hairdresser in the nearby trailer is divine
Have you seen World War Z? I thought he was advertising hair products throughout the entire movie.
The entire underlying dynamic of this film is absolutely amazing! Top has to create monsters out of men in order for them to survive, but he is torn apart by that very necessary process knowing he is simultaneously ensuring that any of those men that survive will live tortured existences. Unreal
Horrible behavior by a commanding officer. Forcing subordinates to execute prisoners of war was common - by NAZI officers.
Even in the last scene of this clip, when he's telling normal to get something to eat, it feels like he struggles to look Norman in the eye for a few seconds -- after what he just did to him. He really is torn apart about it inside
That's what I don't think people get when they disrespect our military or veterans, their job is to literally get traumatized overseas so we don't live a life of trauma like other countries have to everyday.
@@jordanhester4821 Once upon a time that was true. For the past half-century or so we have been the terrorists
@@jordanhester4821 Exactly. God bless their souls, and I hope that, though they may live this live with trauma's that most of us will hopefully never have to endure, they will live in bliss with the Lord our God in Heaven. God be with them all, and help them through their journeys. God bless.
One parallel I notice about this scene.
When the German is captured, people are shouting at him, asking who he killed for his American jacket. In fact, he is executed basically on the spot for this crime.
Then, when Norman goes to the others afterwards, Grady is wearing a Wehrmacht jacket and helmet, showing the incredible double standard; killing a German for stealing American stuff, but not batting an eye when an American does the same to a dead German.
Great parallel to further show the grey morality of warfare.
Morality of War is German started the innocent bloodshed, it is a trophy war that is why Grady is wearing a Wehrmacht jacket and helmet. USA is on the right side of WW2. to do not forget who started WW2
There is difference in for example fighting americans in american uniform which is breaking law of war and messing around with captured/looted/taken german uniform as a battle trophy. Grady didn't break a law. Man its two completely different things
@@NAS_Syberia what do you mean he didn't break a law? He committed a war crime, he executed a POW lmfao. Licking boots doesn't let you rewrite history
@@amorantoboy IM into this shit man, if you Wear opposite side uniform to fool and kill your enemies and you got caught, you dont have right to POW status, read some internet then come back and say sorry that you were wrong
@@NAS_Syberia not really the same thing, using captured equipment is fine almost every army aside from the americans frequently relied on clothing taken from the other side if that guy has no coat and there is a one availiabe to take you take it. the rule your refering to would only be considered violated if they could prove that he was wearing a full or mostly full enemy uniform with no attempt made to remove identifying markings he is still wearing german issued webbing a german helmet and is though its not shown it can be assumed a german issue weapon that would be fine escpially in the prevaling climatic condtions. on the other side what bradd pitts character did here was without dispute a warcrime he killed a un armed clearly unifromed surrended POW without provacation with no extenuating circumstances, he also commited a regular crime in forcing the younger man in particapating if he survived the movie he would most likely have faced a cout martial and depending on judge and if the war was ongoing probally the hangman
My great grandfather served and had to shoot the tank gun the entire time. He was at Auschwitz’s and witnessed the horrors there. Never spoke a word about it after he returned until he turned 92 and was losing his mind. So sad
That’s odd. Americans didn’t liberate Auschwitz
What did he say about it?
Btw my grandfather served and was in Auschwitz’s as well. He was a guard
@@CollectorChronicles When did he say he was American?
My pap survived Normandy and made it to Germany. I asked my Dad if he thought Pap would talk about the war. Dad said do not ask.
As far i remember:
He was the only one left for almost the same exact reason: Conscience.
not only that, but he was also spared by a German young man the same age as him, it shows two people with clean conscience from opposite sides, they both didn't want to see anybody suffering, they just wanted the war to end
@@edvinparmeza1298 As it was the end of the war, there's a good possibility that the SS who spares Norman was simply a kid that was plucked from his home and forced into the SS. Sure many of the SS were psychotic fanatics with undying loyalty to Hitler, but the kid may not have wanted to be there any more than Norman did.
@@chrishestand1032 the kid was part of those soldiers or generals and commanders who were fighting just as a duty to their country, they were not part of those psychos who were following the ideology, I think the movie was trying to portray this thing, both sides had people with preserved conscience and innocence like Norman
@@edvinparmeza1298 Could be as well. But I do tend to think many of them just wanted to go home by now. If they still had a home, that is.
@@chrishestand1032 true
“I promised my crew a long time ago I’d keep them alive… You’re getting in the way of that.” Is such a damn amazing line I think about it very often.
i dont know man... it's quite mediocre really

That would be a moment in your youth that you would never forget.

Wow no shit
I wouldn’t need to be forced to do it like this kid did. I’d be like “any more around I can take out? This is fun”
@@DontDefuse wow so edgy and cool
@@DontDefuse "It's a hell of a thing killing a man, you take away all he's got, and all he's ever gonna have."
I doubt you'd be so edgy when it came down to it, you'd snivel and back down like all the keyboard warriors.
Soldiers in the back was a great part of this scene, almost all the NCOs are emotionless, others either laughing in irony or trying to encourage him
They showed the German soldier mercy in SAVING PRIVATE RYAN by letting him go free and he returned and killed Tom Hanks in the final battle. The brutality of war calls for a lot of morally tough decisions.
The guy was wearing allied army coat, which means he was masquerading as allied troop, which is espionage which is punished by death.
@@86Corvus -Which means he picked up a US army coat, not that he was pretending to be an allied troop, use your head
@@SStupendous That doesn't matter, wearing enemy uniforms has been a war crime since before the second world war, espionage or not.
@@JosefiStrauss He's wearing a coat my guy... so all those pictures of Entente Soldiers in WW1 wearing captured Stalhelms and Pickelhaubes should be treated as criminals and executing them would be justified? Vietnam veterans who used captured VC guns and clothing should be incarcerated at the least? Come on.
@@SStupendous I'm talking about the laws of war, friend, obviously some soldiers will have fun wearing the uniforms of defeated enemies, but if the enemy caught you with them, they justified shooting you
4:47 You can also tell Don didn't want to kill the german soldier, but he also knew there was no other way to make Norman to do his job as a member of the team. In a way, Norman's innocence is the last thing that remains of Wardaddy's humanity.
Also touching how Boyd was the one to console Norman after the execution.
Also that soldier committed war crimes
@@gamerstheater1187yes it is, but then again if you're on the winning side it's no longer seen as a war crime unofficially.
Not at all. WAR is getting to him.
He didn't want to have to do that to Norman you could tell it hurt him in a way
@3:38 I love how Scott Eastwoods character is just snacking like he's at the movies. Just another day.

He has a lot of cameos in movies like Fast and Furious and obviously his dad is Clint@@EricToTheScionti
he’s so fine
I like how now the crew got up when Brad pitt stepped in the three got huge respect for the leader
My grandfather, and two of my great uncles, fought in WW2. My grandfather fought in the North African Campaign, one great uncle was in Sicily, and not sure where the other one was-but believe I was in Germany (never met him though). I wish the other campaigns were discussed more because everyone only thinks Germany and Japan when they think of WW2, when many other died in France, Africa, Italy, etc.
Other countries teach more about the other campaigns but the US primarily focuses on Japan and Germany
Have they seen inglorious basterds
This is really one of my favorite scenes from fury. It really makes you ask the question who is in the right and who is in the wrong?
probably the guys not genociding minorities
Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini were in the wrong
@dasportsfan2122 That doesn't mean executing a man who surrendered is "good".
In war. There is no right. Only the grey mist
@@dereklong2072 Morality during war is a riddle. You have to win to get back to morality.
I love the subtle nuances this entire scene has:
The german soldier being executed for the jacket, when Grady is doing the same thing.
"No no, that's the easy part" shooting is easy, living with it isn't.
"Do it, do it Norman! Do your job." Don tells him to do his job, not kill that man, unfortunately his job IS to kill that man, but he says it in a way to keep it "professional".
Don is later seen reflecting on it, not even him wanted to execute that man, but he had to in order to show Norman the true nature of their job and war.
Killing a prisoner of war is surely forbidden in the US Army as well. But it is not taken that precisely 😉😘
@@aldrikvonkralsteyn8117 he was wearing an us uniform so they technically were allowed to kill him
@@reasonableraisin3366 Like the Vietnamese termites in My Lai, right 🤗😘
You put lots of unnecessary thought into the act of killing an unarmed man
@@GeldtheGelded You want to say the soldier is a combatant and can therefore be shot?! In the German Wehrmacht there was also the service instruction that combatants were to be shot immediately, but this man is marked as a soldier, apart from the coat he wears a German uniform, helmet, belt gear, boots. That doesn't make him a combatant.
Action and Reaction. This fantasy film doesn't show me a well-rehearsed military unit, but a mentally ill gang of robbers in a tank, who insult each other racially and incite them to commit crimes. So YES, of course I think about what kind of nonsense was produced and what the message of the film is. It's great when you show your guys from the American armored forces as heroes in such a mentally unstable state. Am I really supposed to think that all tank drivers were such an undisciplined bunch? But the fact is that the American tank crews were not held in high esteem by the infantrymen of the US Army, which is why such mentally ill robber units really do seem to have existed. Many in Germany still remember the crimes and rapes committed by the US armed forces against the civilian population
the scene where he prayed for the young solider was heartbreaking

This is hands down my favorite Brad Pitt movie. I've known a few Wardaddy's in 17 years in the military. I appreciate every damn one of them.
You shouldn't. If they are anything like Pitt in this movie then they are poor leaders and war criminals.

It amazes me how many people I know who've seen Saving Private Ryan but haven't even heard of this. Every bit as good a WW2 movie in my book.
And just as unrealistic
@@todolphy What was unrealistic about it compared to your experience fighting in WW2?
Fury is much better in my opinion. Before this We Were Soldiers was my favorite war flick
Fury is one of the most bullshit films there is want something kinda realistic watch band of brothers
@@vassowned7768 I would say Jurassic World or any of the Star Wars movies are just as bad.
Very intense acting.
Must have been a very oppressive atmosphere on set.
At the beginning of a war:
You are Norman.
At the end of a war:
You are Don!
It is the duty of a soldier to disobey an unlawful order.
This s very much like when you work late and catch up with your friends at the bar when they are three drinks in.
"Take the shot!"
By far one of the cruelest acts I have ever seen in a war film
That's because apparently all you've seen are movies and video games. It's estimated as many as 80 million people died in WWII. Try reading a book. Millions died a much more horrible death than this guy.
@@sidefx996 he specifically said “in a war film” wtf is wrong with you lol. This film surprised me with how cruel the American forces are depicted, its a departure from most black/white morality hollywood depictions of the war. I can’t think of any western films with such grit except maybe that one scene with the Czech defenders surrendering in Saving Private Ryan or the French reprisals at the end of Band of Brothers.
@@pilotwhaleproductions5880 I guess I shouldn't be surprised that kids with cartoons for avatars who have never seen anything besides movies or videos games would be shocked by someone getting shot. In the middle of a war. Go figure. Like most everything else, people's barometer on such things varies based on life experience.
@@sidefx996 your life experience apparently involved no reading comprehension
@@sidefx996 As someone who's spent a lot of time reading stories from and about WW2, this is still one of the cruelest acts I've seen in a war film. You know why? I and the other guy specifically said, WAR FILM. We are not talking about real life. We are not talking about the actual recorded events of history. We are talking about a Hollywood movie. Get that through your noggin and stop being a little wang rod.
Tyler Durden has been messing people up for a long time.
Arriva Dare Chi
The German army was in basically disarray at this point. Low supplies, low morale. Dude was probably just cold and found the jacket off some poor guy who was killed.
Probably one of the more realistic scenes in this film. Hundreds of stories of WW2 veterans saying how they would line up german prisoners and shoot them all in the backs before burying them in mass graves.
That's a fucking war crime.
@@marcinsmyczek8583 yepp, but who cared at that time really.
Wrong. There were only ever two stand-out circumstances of this ever happening. In one case, the guy was let go with a slap on the wrist. In the other case, the guy was court marshalled and forfeited his rank and spent time in the brig.
@@TheBuhrewnoShowtrue, one guy was a kid on an mg in one of the camps and he just got pissed and laid out a bunch of dudes. I think he got the slap on the wrist but I’m not sure, I think his co was just like “you can’t do that but yeah”
@@marcinsmyczek8583that was the Meta during WW2
my only issue with this film is that pitt clearly states in this scene he promised his crew he would keep them alive and then decides to sacrifice all of them in the end by making them stand their ground in an unwinnable display of pride, it just makes no sense
They chose to stand with him, he didn’t make them all stay. He told them to leave, they didn’t want to leave his side. He made his promise and they made their promise to stand until the end with him.
He literally told them to go while he'd stand his ground, idk what part of that seems forced
@@Akodakun It's forced because it's almost impossible to say no to standing by your commander that's probably saved your life dozens of times. I don't think they had a choice but to stay. They would know life would be unbearable had they left him to die.
I don't think that's how it happened I think you need to watch the movie again
@@kylequintanaThey did it out of sheer loyalty not because they really wanted to.
God I hope they make another movie about WW2 at this caliber again soon
At 4:47 you can see he didn't want to do this to Norman, but he had to. Great acting!
No he didnt
@@snubbyy wow good argument! And why not? Care to elaborate?
@@schouten841 I'm sure trying to understand and judge the decisions of leadership during war is unfathomable, but to say that he made the wrong choice has plenty of merit. He forced a new recruit to commit a war crime for the sake of "teaching a lesson", I would argue that there are much more ethical ways to get your point across, there's also the aspect that you just made a traumatized killer who now might seek revenge and put everyone in more danger.
@@HoodieProduction true, but in his eyes this was the only solution
Nevertheless General Patton was chastised for slapping a soldier. (actually two of them). War is hell but In real life, it you treat a non-com like that, you just reduced your chances of making it back to home base. In Vietnam one of the things that the squad leaders would do is take the rifle clips from the newbies who went out on their first patrol so they wouldn't shoot themselves or their team when they panicked.
He slapped dudes in the hospital with shellshock though, not like this
i'm just admiring brads sick fade
This was the backstory of the punisher.
Brad Pitt isn't broken up about the German. It hurt him to force Norman to kill him, but it had to be done our it could cost all their lives
Most Nazis Soldiers were mostly Young Boys And That German soldier Sound like he’s older and he’s just defending his homeland. not All German Soldiers Agreed with With Hitler and All Also German Generals Too. like Ewin Rommel He Rather go with German Empire From WW1. Ewin Rommel Was Forced to Work For Hitler.
And Also Just Like the Japanese Tojo Was a Dictator. but Emperor Hirohito was Not Tojo was trying to hide Information From Emperor Hirohito. Tojo Was the one Who Committed War Crimes In East Asia
"I'm not trained to machine-gun dead bodies," Norman says. Pitt's facial expression almost suggest that he's thinking, "none of us were trained to kill, you idiot." Then he forces him to kill a man begging for mercy because its more important to get Norman over that hump, to the point that he is fine with machine-gunning dead (or alive) bodies in order to protect his own comrades.
Giving someone in your squad a good reason to frag you all for being evil pricks sure is a way to get yourself killed too.
It only works when a German CAN kill you. But here he sits and pitifully asks him not to kill. Maybe I misunderstood you or this translator is wrong, but I think you understood me
@@dps2646 But what will the murder of an unarmed, begging for mercy man give. Kill or be killed works when that person actually has a chance to kill you. Forcing a recruit to shoot a person kneeling in front of you is somehow not cool.
I kinda laughed at the scene where Brad asks the German "do you like fat girls"
This movie was great. Rewatched it a couple of times.
4:47, you can see how much he hates what he is now without a single word said. He seen himself in Norman and the way he teaches is probably the way he was taught.
A trained killer…… can actually hurt his own heart.
Pretty clever sound design here. When they both shoot the German, the bass of the shot is very emphasized compared to the rest of the rounds that fired from here on out.
The thing is that the Sargent would have been court marshaled for War Crimes of executing a Surrendered Soldier and also for trying to force someone else to do it for him. After the war he would be trialed and jailed for this for life. The Geneva Convention was of course violated many times but all sides did it. Americans, Japanese, Chinese, Germans, Soviets, and even the minor powers of the war.
Well no-one seems to give a shit about the Geneva Convention.
Not a Brad Pitt fan but he nailed this character.
"your PTSD isn't scervisce related"
The coffee they give him at the end of the scene.
It isnt for him to feel warmth or comfort.
its to now keep him awake from the same nightmares they all share now and forever.
This is one of the most disturbing and darkest WW2 movies ever made
Brad Pitt is definitely my favorite actor.
Fury, Inglourious Basterds, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Seven, Fight Club, Troy, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Bullet Train; many great films he’s been in
In a situation where you are surrounded by people whose sole purpose is to kill you, you have to accept two things:
- You are not the only one who wants to survive
- Your team relies on you to stay alive
If you are not willing to kill when you need to, you are not just endangering yourself but your team as well.
Yes, the act of executing that man was heinous, but Norman wouldn’t kill at all before then even in combat. That’s why he was forced to do it. It was that enemy soldier’s life, or potentially all of them at a critical moment when Norman acting might be the difference between them surviving or not.
That's a whole lot of justifying a war crime. He executed a POW without direct command to do so. War is ugly and bleak and they don't need us justifying the evils done, even if they may have been on our sixe
Side note, the enemy soldier was wearing a US Coat "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT COAT BOI?" which is against "war rules". It's the rules of war that aren't written down but you don't break them anyways, simply because it leads to actions like this where you get killed from the enemy side regardless of the Real Rules. Now although "two wrongs don't make a right" is absolutely truth, so is "check yourself before you wreck yourself". Don't care if it's victim blaming or justifying a war crime, because it isn't really relevant, it's still going to happen.
Wearing the coat of the person you killed from the enemy, that's going to get you killed upon capture. Simply because the idea that YOU are possibly wearing the coat of a dead comrade that the enemy knows one of YOU killed is going to end up with you in Deadsville. Imagine a Russian soldier today being caught running from the Ukrainian Army in a Ukrainian coat, that is going to be a dead Ivan and nobody is going to go to court over it, and nobody but Russia would convict them, and nobody will cry for the dead.
@@amorantoboy unless you go to war against people you despise with all your being than please don’t throw the war crime BS in the argument. Remember it was a completely different time nazis did so much horrors I think a public execution and a gas chamber is not very comparable in this instance you see the soldiers in the movie they absolutely hate the nazis with every fiber of there being. It’s easy to judge and it’s even more easy to see black and white war nearly erases that line. I will never judge them because I have no right no neither do you unless we saw what those solders see it’s not a valid point
As a vet I agree it’s the reality of the situation
@@DamienDarkside Realistically he could've just found the coat or got it off a soldier, or had it handed to him... has happened in many wars in many notable examples. Same with the firearms. Nobody's killing Vietnam veterans for bringing back captured Vietcong equipment and guns.
Such a great movie
Why didn't this movie win an Oscar?
Absolutely great movie, I’m sure World War 2 was more terrible than the movie. But Fury captures the brutality of war pretty well
All I can do is honor these men for their sacrifices and doing their duty, and live the best life I can, and we all owe them that for which they gifted us with their blood and courage.
You realize this is fiction, right? That it bears no more resemblance to history than, say, a John Wayne movie?
@@MrSunrise- I'm pretty sure he meant actual ww2 veterans, not the movie.
tranny bathrooms and cultural marxism. nothing like it
They are scum.
I love how the other soldiers don’t even react.
I can't justify what Pitt's character did, just recognize that it happened. There is so much beyond the official histories...thank God for Allied victory, now and forever.
What the character did was allowed in war due to the fact that the enemy soldier had an allied jacked on. His rights are forfeit because of it. It is what it is. Having that said, I will thank no god for Allied victory. While I would not have wanted Germany to prevail... the US and A has completely fucked up the world in the last 80 years following that war. How many countries have they invaded now, again? But these invasions have been justified... until whistleblowers come out and inform us that it was a lie.
That fucking country in charge is in no way shape or form an act of God. God abandoned the US a long time ago, at the same time as Capitalism took over a bit too much.
You are a soft man who has never been in a battle for survival... You aren't being asked to "justify" anything. You have no basis for even comprehending war unless you have been in war.
War Daddy: I will NOT make the same mistake that Cpt Miller made.
At least Millar wasn’t an a**hole who abused his own men or laughed at the sight of death.
Imao
Sad to see both sides. They are defending a leader and they don’t even know why, we are defending ourselves
Best war movie since Full Metal Jacket, the ending could have been better
I loved this movie and watched it quite a few times, a buddy and I were hanging out with this old salty Marine and he burst my bubble... "Well the movie was good, but tanker crews would have NEVER acted like that! They took pride in their presentation as soldiers and didn't curse or anything. I'm sure there were exceptions but they didn't look like grease monkeys or execute prisoners on the spot like in the movies...."
I'm glad that was his experience. I am British, my uncle was in the army in '44-'45, in one of the waves after D-Day (he was slightly too young for D-Day) about the same age as the kid in this clip. He told me only a few things about the war; he said once his section found a small group of German soldiers holed up in a farmhouse. There was a firefight, all the germans but one were killed. The last remaining german was brought out, the sergeant (who had fought through the whole war) told my uncle to shoot him through the head. My uncle could not do it. The sergeant took out his revolver, looked the man in the eyes and shot him through the head at point-blank range without batting an eyelid (a war crime). My uncle later discovered that the sergeant's wife had been killed in the Blitz. Another thing he told me was that some of the retreating germans had a saying: "Surrender to the Americans, they will give you chocolate and treat you well. If you are captured by the British, they will slit your throat and leave you to die" (or, in this case, shoot you through the head). And I can understand why - the Luftwaffe had bombed the shit out of many major British cities (and of course we had bombed the german cities in retalliation), the British soldiers were out for personal revenge.

"and shot him through the head at point-blank range without batting an eyelid (a war crime)"
That's not a war crime, that's just war.
Hopefully he didn't say what you said he said, and I'll copy and paste what I'm talking about,
"this old salty Marine"
"They took pride in their presentation as soldiers"
Marines NEVER, EVER, EVER call themselves a Soldier, NEVER.
And yes, they did curse, where do you think we got the saying, "Cursing like a Sailor" They got drunk in bars and fought each other, they didn't take care of their equipment or themselves, they MIGHT have shaved once a week, but yes, that's how it was back then, he was just trying to blow smoke up your ass.
Sounds like old salty marine was full of shit.
@@armybeef68 That is absolutely a war crime lmfao. Executing a surrendered enemy in the field is evil. Always.
Tfw they commit a literal war crime and everyone's justifying it. But if we saw Germans do the same thing we'd be screaming to the hills...
That's kinda the point, though?
@@benz505 This isn't criticizing execution, it's glorifying it.
@@HTacianas you think the sad music in the background afterwards is glorifying it? How about the fact that it shows Norman himself was spared by an enemy soldier at the end of the film? There’s a reason they did that
At best this was shown to be a necessary evil, he was forced to execute a prisoner cause he wasn’t conditioning himself to kill non-prisoners
Well who started this shit?
@@randybonner9870 Probably not the guy who got shot
That soldier was refusing to obey an illegal order. He was right to refuse.
Again, not a warcrime, or illegal. Wearing the enemies uniform is Perfidy, and committing perfidy means sacrificing your convention rights.
@@DaftPanda1 The German soldier was wearing a great coat, yet still obviously identifying himself as an enemy combatant to Allied soldiers.
He was not a spy, as the German kommandos wearing US uniforms and posing as US MPs during the Ardennes Offensive were.
This was a German soldier who found a warm coat to wear. No different than finding a good pair of boots on a dead soldier, friend or enemy, and "liberating" them for your own use.
Summarily executing enemy soldiers (and yes, even enemy partisans) who have surrendered is ALWAYS a warcrime if your nation is a signatory to the Geneva Conventions.
Let me say it again for people in the back.
If you summarily execute ANYONE who has surrendered, you have committed a warcrime. Period, Full stop. This is clearly laid out in the Geneva Conventions.
@@DaftPanda1 Further, even when dealing with soldiers dressed entirely in the uniforms and gear of their enemy (spies,) such the previously mentioned German kommandos, they still retain their convention rights if captured and are (supposed to be) protected from battlefield executions. They are entitled to a military trial and can/will be executed if found guilty.
You can never surrender your rights under the Geneva Convention.
Your actions during war, if they are criminal, may subject you to a firing squad or hangman's noose, but that is ALWAYS for a military court to decide, not enlisted men or their officers.
Again, soldiers cannot just go around administering justice after a battle. That is explicitly a warcrime.
@@DaftPanda1 Funny how westerners always justify their own obnoxious war crimes exactly the same way as the russians do. "it's different when we do it"
And yet most soldiers didn’t care. “You kill him or he kills you, simple math.” The Geneva Convention is some crackpot attempt at making politicians feel more civilized about the disgusting messes they push armies into.
This needed to be done he can't have you out there to afraid to kill u will get your brothers shot because you hesitated ...it's a messed up scene but he was trying to teach him a lesson
Most realistic aspect: showing an NCO making sure his soldiers do the basics like eating. It seems like nothing but to a soldier the basics can be hard to accomplish. Human and real
The military commanders from this movie really learned a big lesson from Saving Private Ryan: In the middle of the battlefield, take no prisoners
My grandfather was a helmet in WWII and since everyone's grandfather was there they know I'm speaking the truth. Thank you all grandfathers and greatgrandfathers and great gretas grand gretafathers in comments.
I couldn't what Logan Lerman's character was thinking. Having to shoot a guy who was probably a couple years older, or maybe even younger than him. War is pure hell. Especially for the boys drafted right after they graduated high school.
I don't know whether to cry or be enraged...😫😡
🤨
@@marlonquintana3466 What do you mean?
Like he said, it’s you or him. Pick
A man chooses. A slave obeys.
I was wondering if this scene here depicts a war crime because bascially this guy has been captured, he's surrendered and I suppose they've accepted his surrender.
So I googled a bit on executing POW's, and I'm a bit confused as to this being a war crime or not.
I think this here is a summary execution, which is technically legal IF we're talking about spies... I think..?
Is the german confirmed to be a spy? Or is he a soldier that just "collected" the coat from a dead soldier?
I suppose the answer is going to be murky at best, but giving the benefit of the doubt to the german soldier that makes this scene just a little more dark.
Executing prisoners of war is a war crime, so this was war crime. It would only be legal if this captured German masqueraded as an American soldier at the time of his capture, but he's just wearing the coat because it's April in Europe so it's cold outside. He wields a German weapon, he wears German equipment above and under the coat - including a helmet, so he isn't pretending to be an American soldier. That means he can't be executed as a sabetour.
I think the true answer might be: this kind of shooting didn't happen all the time, because some officers might have reported it, but if no one caused a fuss, everyone just moved on.
I've noticed Angel just lurks about in the background of this platoon.
War sucks if you the one thing I love about the military is the brotherhood they have
War kills a human physically and spiritually
I feel like this was just an excuse to make him feel like they all felt. This wasn't to make him 'hard' this was to make him just as guilty and evil like the rest of them, because they did things they should've said no to. Yes, this had the effect of making him hard, however it also goes to show how much of an asshole not only Wardaddy and his crew are, but also the soldiers behind them.
Not executing an unarmed soldier isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of being a decent human being in a time where men are horrible to each other. That soldier could've easily become a POW, they had the manpower and equipment to contain him/send him back to the FOB or HQ. Instead they forced a green soldier to commit the most heinous warcrime.
yes, I understand that german killed a US soldier, he might've also executed POWs himself. That isn't an excuse to go down to their level. Anyone that says this was remotely okay either has no combat experience, or is a piece of shit.
"Norman...I havent seen eat anything all day so better get something to eat" This shows the Brad pitt (Wardaddy) Still cares about him a little
I love the detail of Wardaddy kicking the photos away at 2:13. Like, throw THAT shit in the bin.
I read this as "Brad Pitt forced to execute a soldier" phew
- Reported him later and now he's serving life for war crimes! Never let injustice go un tattled on!
I love that Brad Pitt could have been a hard@ss the whole time, but he was very gentle. Knowing the kid is still innocent. He sympathizes, but he knows that having a green gunner could get the entire tank killed. He really did this as gently as possible, the way a father would. And in fact, it seems that Pitt taking the kid's innocence affected him more than the kill did to Norman. This is such a great movie. This is a drama disguised as an action war movie. I'm not sure if it got awards but it deserves many of them.
He murdered a prisoner of war. Dude deserves to be in prison.
@@CarosAnon yeah, fictional character belongs in fictional prison. Smh
@@CarosAnonlmao front lines anything goes. What are you smoking???
In combat you have 2 choices kill or be killed thats something both my grandfather's told me when they served in Korea and Nam
@@justinthebeau2590 they aren't in combat. They shot an unarmed prisoner of war. Your grandfather would hopefully kick the shit out of you.
This movie was awesome. best job i ever had...
I like how they were mad the German had an American coat and they looted bodies
The only problem with this movie is that it's another one of those "pathetic weak rookie gets toughened up by war" stories. Like Saving Private Ryan and many others. They should have just told it straight from the perspective of the hardened tank crew.
Maybe they were trying to show people that lots of soldiers start off with ideals of service to their country and honor but over time realize it wasn't how they thought it would be. My grandmother would tell me about all the wounds and bullet holes my grandfather got in WW2 and Vietnam and how proud he felt of them, but I'll never know if that was his way of coping with it. My great uncle NEVER liked talking about his time in the army, all he would say is when he dies he wants to be buried with his friends
Yeah but that's all war stories to be honest...people aren't born killing machines.
I do respect that though. You are at war the only people that matter are the men to your left and right. If you can’t defend them or yourself then why are you there…
One of the best WWII films ever.
Es la mejor película del mundo la e visto más de 30 veces
i thought that was the ping of the tank turret rotator at 0:30 seconds
Love that 1917 .45 ACP revolver…
Colt New service?
@@malgdrummer M1917 Revolver
ACP is auto.
@@stewartmckeand8953 there was .45 Rimed and .45 auto cartridge pistol. You could use both but the ACP did take a separate plate to hold the rimless cartridge in place
Yeah, moon plate. Don't think the average GI carried them G.
As cruel as this action is it does help him later down the line. When you have line that feels impossible to cross sometimes you just need someone to push you. Once you're over that line, thats it, the hard part is over. All you have to do is stay there till the jobs done.
He the boss! ❤
Pretty sure this movie stands the test of time. I'd put it a little below Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers and The Pacific in terms of trying to capture what the war was like.
this is technically not a war crime. You can't go into combat wearing the other side's uniform - it voids your protection under international law and you can be summarily executed.
sometimes, it really isn't about whats right or whats wrong - its just about what it is.
I think this scene was more about combat veteran vitriol versus green boot "empathy." The guys who had seen their comrades killed/wounded in front of them feel nothing but hatred towards their enemy (especially one wearing their friend's cloak,) and the new guys are inexperienced and trying to be rational. I'm not making a stance on who is right, but I can see both sides of the coin here.
@@saladmcjones7798 Standing up to your commander, refusing a direct order and saying "kill me!" while actually meaning it isn't what I'd call rational. If this isn't a very deeply moral stance - where one would rather die than sacrifice their values, I don't know what is. Just like you I'm not siding with one or the other side, but I do think this goes deeper than inexperience or rationality.
Another case of westerner whitewashing his side's war crimes, color me surprised. You westerner redditors are psychos tbh.
None of these soldiers are leaders but frightened sheep, bullied by trauma and each other, who end up drinking to oblivion.
Germans also prayed and did not want war. War is hell
3:56 he was saying "look I wash for supper" lol
The best thing about this is that the allies aren't these kind saviours who are good people. Some of the allies were terrible
Yeah but 99% of the Axis was terrible, so
And for things like this in response the SS 1 panzer division executed an entire company of American soldier as a punishment for executing German soldiers but of course after the war history teach that the German army executed American soldier for fun but in reality it was as a vengeance
Vengeance from the Germans? The son-of-a-bitching Germans started this shit. Vengeance was ours .
Wich one is a fury ?
Normanhas a pure heart :c
This isn’t an execution. It is murder. Let’s call it what it really is.
That's what war is...?
It's war. How many men did that Nazi bstrd kill?
@@UmbraCatervae01war crimes exist.
"It is prohibited to use the insignia or uniforms of the enemy while engaging in attacks or in order to shield, favour, protect or impede military operations. If captured out of uniform, soldiers are at risk of being treated as spies or unlawful combatants." That means ANY army will execute ANYONE operating outside of the Geneva Convention.
