What moments in this movies were the best to you? Ours was the bond they created in such a short amount of time & how they filmed this, the colors were amazing. This was unlike any war movie we have seen before. Help us vote for the next one to watch in the poll Saving Private Ryan and Lone Survivor are neck and neck. Thanks for watching ❤
My dear friends, I just watched Guy Ritchie’s ‘The Covenant.’ I’d HIGHLY recommend throwing it in the mix.
Except it will piss you off something fierce about the way we left Afghanistan
15:25 Yeah I also saw that video. It was on HD as well, guy didn't even flinch. He accepted what was gonna happen to him.
Chad Pit. That was funny. New subscriber. Yall are pretty good at this.
It was Brad Pitt
"Ideals are peaceful, history is violent.". The best line in any war movie I've seen.
Can you explain it? I'm not very educated
@@corytollison1774 He means that there is a diference in between ideas and reality. Most wars where fought over ideals. This ideals where ment to bring a better world, at least those who started them thought so. But history is violent, despite all this ideals, there has not been many peace time through out history.
The German soldier Norman was forced to execute just after the beginning battle was caught wearing a US uniform. Putting on an enemy uniform removes all POW status and you are shot as a spy. Also Norman needed to be blooded so he could be useful in future fights.
agreed
Fun Fact, in 1930, 1 in 4 people on The streets of any US City was A German Speaker from Germany, Switzerland, Austria, or Czechoslovakia . My Grandpa was one of 12 boys from A Large Swiss Farm Family. His dad would read The Lutheran Bible printed in High German on the front porch. 10 of The 12 boys served in The US Military, and they all understood/ Spoke German. Brad Pitt's character speaking German as a 2nd Generation German Immigrant/ or one that came over as a child with his family from Germany, WAS, 100% Historically Accurate.
That's a terribly weak argument to excuse us warcrimes. The German solider still had all his webbing and helmet on.
@@goatman9998 Please understand that it was Under The Geneva Convention, NOT A War Crime. The German was wearing an American Army Issue Uniform Trench Coat. The Geneva Convention allowed immediate summary Execution of Enemy Combatants wearing The Uniform of their Enemy, or found dressed as a civilian, without A Trial. No war Crime occured when that German was executed by War Daddy.
@@NickWilly-yi5xb I mean you're absolutely correct in terms of legality, the only argument here is one of morality. Despite the fact that the German was wearing the trench coat issued to American Army servicemen, he had still surrendered and was unarmed. The skirmish was over. War Daddy was trying to impress an important lesson of the decisions you need to make during war onto Norman, but that is 100% cold blooded murder. You can't be court-martialed for it, but it's still morally reprehensible according to pretty much every code of ethics in the rules of engagement anywhere.
They were all "kind-hearted" at first. But once someone sees and does the things that these men had to do. It can definitely change a person. Doesn't make them less kind. Thank you to all our Veterans.
that’s is very true
@kristianberg4264 I politely disagree. I have had many friends go overseas to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11. Every man in my family except for one fought in WWI, WWII, my father was in Vietnam for almost 3 tours, Deseret Storm. My grandfather, who was in WWII, was one of the most kind and gentle souls I have ever met. My father was an incredible individual. In his old age, he has become a bit ornery. But that tends to happen when you get old. My several friends who enlisted after 9/11 are still my amazing buddies. Some come home a little bit rough around the edges. But still have a kind heart. They have seen things that some of us could never imagine. But it did not make them mean nasty individuals once they returned to civilian life. If anything, it made them more alert and more cautious. Now, I can't say that some did not struggle with substance abuse upon their return. Some with depression. But they all returned home with the same kindness that they left with. In some cases, they were more understanding. Due to the things they witnessed happening to innocent people. It made them happy to be home and thankful for the fact that they did not have to grow up seeing and going through what some of the innocents had to go through. Of course, some of the people that I know disliked the enemy. However, they were never disrespectful to what they would consider the enemy while overseas once they returned home. It's not an easy thing to go through by any means. But just because you go off to war doesn't mean you're going to come home with nothing but hate and anger in your heart. Do some of our men and women who served come home with that type of disposition? Absolutely. But not everyone. I suppose it depends on the individual. But you can't clump an entire group into one category. Again, Thank you to all our Veterans. Happy belated Veterans Day.
This was Shia's movie. He absolutely nailed it.
I would say his character was my fav too, he nailed the country accent. -Mrs. O!
I also saw an interview about him and they had said he didn't shower for the filming of it. He really was into it
Great movie, I was infantry but worked often with tanks. Both go hand in hand if used properly.

thanks for all you do ! ❤️
Thank you for your service my brother!
Thank You for your service Gunny, and Thank You for going to Viet Nam, Welcome Home.
Thank you for your service
Thank you my friend for all you've done
Mobilizing does mean recruiting every man woman and child, Germany was fighting the war in 2 fronts, western and eastern Europe(where it started) after 6 years they were out of regular soldiers. The people you saw walking were displaced, forced to flee their homes because of the fighting. Sadly all sides took advantage of women in countries where they were stationed, wether enemies or allies nobody was safe. The german soldier who saw Norman was probably the same age and just wanted to go home.
thanks for sharing this info & also thanks for watching
@@TheOctobersReact You are very welcome, first time on your channel and I really enjoyed the reaction.
There is a point to the ending where the German soldier lets Norman go. The German soldier is likely supposed to be young and kind like Norman was before they taught him to show no mercy, and it is meant to show irony that Norman was shown mercy by what he used to be.
Unlikely since that soldier was part of the ss so he is definitely a seasoned soldier.
That soldier was young like Norman and probably still had a moral compass that's why he let him go i guess
Yeah desertion was absolutely an execution worthy offense in WWII, even for American soldiers. 49 were tried and sentenced to death from 1941-1945.
Yep this is 1945, just one month or so left in the war at this point.
This particular crew has been fighting since North Africa, invaded France, battled in Belgium, and died with only a few weeks left.
The German soldier that was executed was wearing an American uniform. By doing so he forfeited his rights under the Geneva convention. By doing so he made himself subject to battlefield execution.
I read an account by a German soldier. He said that the Americans sacrificed their men in infantry supporting tanks. In this film it is done right. The infantry is right behind the tanks. In the war the Americans would have the tanks too far in advance of their infantry. The Germans would keep down in their holes and let the tanks pass over them. Then, as American infantry approached, they would pop up and decimate them.
💯
towards the end the german soldier that didnt rat him out is a real thing and happened a few times in war its called uncommon chivalry and its basically just two people acknowledging their humanity and showing mercy
that makes sense & thanks for watching 😊
48:14 thats wasnt a tank that was a german halftrack. Light armored vehicle for general use. A tank like Fury ( M4A3E8 Sherman tank) would easily kill it.
Edit: the tank doesnt shoot missiles it shoots tank rounds. Depending on the round it can be a armor piercing round which is just a solid chunk or it can also have explosives inside. There are all sorts of different tank rounds and it gets complicated. But what some of them can do is scary.
The sabots that tanks use now are knarly. Theyre tungsten core which is the strongest or densest metal on earth (i cant remember which) and its an absolutely nuts thing. We use tungsten and depleted uranium rounds. Theyre crazy rounds
I served in the US Army as a mechanized infantry soldier in a Bradley Fighting Vehicle. The piece of this movie that I love and appreciate the most are how this movie got the Battle Drill inside the turret correct. It’s a very specific cadence/sequence of calls that each member of the crew makes and is still, to this day, the exact same sequence of calls you’d hear in any American armored vehicle today….. The commander calls out the target type, direction and estimated range; so, “Target tank! Eleven o’clock! 800 meters!”
The gunner traverses (spins) the turret and raises/lowers the gun. Once properly aligned, the gunner will scream, “On!”
The commander, making sure we’re not shooting one of our own or shooting the wrong target, will yell, “Fire!”
The gunner, then and today, will be the one to actually fire the weapon, screaming, “On the way!”
The commander, seeing if that round killed the target or another is needed will scream out to the loader the type of round to load next: “Loader AP!” (Armored Piercing - the kind of round you need to kill armored vehicles.
The previous shot will expel the spent round, the loader will slam the called for round into the breech. If the gunner fires at this particular second, the loader will be crushed by the recoiling cannon, so the loader will scream, “Clear!” once his hands, arms and body is clear of the path of the recoil.
The gunner must wait until he hears the “Clear!” before he can trigger the weapon.
In the history of armored warfare, there has NEVER existed a loader who performs his duties as fast as the gunner wants him to….. The gunners can ALWAYS find a target and be ready to fire before the loader is completely ready. The gunners ALWAYS wants the loader to go faster!
The relationships between gunners and loaders and gunners and tank commanders are the closest inside the vehicle. Tankers are an especially close-knit group; very much ‘us against the world’ mentality. The order, “….don’t get too close to anyone,” reflects the good but inevitably impossible reality that any member of the crew could die at a moment’s notice. Consider: how in the world are you supposed to live, sleep, fight in a space not much bigger than the interior of a small minivan, where your survival is intimately linked to the performance of every other member of the crew and NOT get close to all of them? It’s good but inevitably impossible advice.
also thanks for all you do for us. and all that info we have no idea about. you did this in the nicest way as well. you’re awesome!
@@TheOctobersReact I fought in the First Gulf War in ‘91. That was a ‘good’ war. We fought an army under completely friendly skies (I never saw an Iraqi plane, ever), out in the desert where we had night-vision and GPS and our enemy didn’t. No cities, no civilians, Air Dominance against an enemy that simply didn’t understand what our weapons could do…..
Hang on…..
@@TheOctobersReact If you’re curious…. ruclips.net/video/WKZn-vT9CRE/видео.html
That was my war….
My unit was right behind these guys. I was in a Bradley
The Iraqis we fought were professional soldiers, having just come from a successful war against Iran. They manned their vehicles and fought according to the doctrine, the manual they’d gotten from the Russians…..
Problem was: that manual was out of date. Our Abrams tanks could engage them at many hundreds of meters farther away than they could. We could fire on the move, they couldn’t. We had GPS, they had to stay on/near roads, we could/did hit them from out of the desert. Our optics, including night vision and communications were generations ahead of theirs, they had a real problem with how their tanks stored their ammunition (I saw WAY more Iraqi tanks with their turrets blown off, often upside down on their own hulls, than I did functioning, whole Iraqi tanks) and, again, no cities or civilians to get in the way. From an account I read, Saddam’s generals told him, “The American Army has driven into the desert and we don’t know where they are!” He, apparently, was delighted, “Ah! The desert will swallow them all!” We…. Had…. GPS! I knew where I was every second of every day to within 7 meters on the earth’s surface. I never didn’t know where I was! I knew EXACTLY where I was and EXACTLY where I was going and Saddam just couldn’t understand that.
Actually being able to ship a tank in enough numbers across the ocean was an engineering marvel people don’t give enough credit to the US tanks. German tanks had the advantage of being bigger and heavier because they could make them in Germany.
oh wow didn’t know that!!
We also had military trucks/cars in Europe while they were still using horses, the USA was more advanced than people realize, especially during the 30s/40s.
110% fact! it was a logistics limitation getting there. People say German engineering but it was the Sherman that was simply an amazing work of art. Various engine configurations and a limitless amount of easily replicable parts. The German tanks were overcomplicated and nearly impossible to repair once deployed. When a squad was told to roll out in the morning, the shermans got the the starting line. Tigers, well they didn't all get to the starting line. Nothing will ever be as crazy as Historians explaining how German squads were to jack up a mous in the air to service the tracks and suspension system... in the mud lol there are photos of them pooping themselves while jacking up the prototype (before it blew)
When Hitler mobilized the people that was just another way of saying that they were drafted . That included old men , women and children . In his heart he new Germany was losing the war , but he was too crazy to admit it and admit defeat .
That's true. Both of my grandfathers were fighting in WW2. Okay my mothers father died before my birth so I couldn't ask him anything. He was born 1919 so already 30 when WW2 started. I just know he was fighting against the Soviet Union. But my fathers father was drafted when he was 16.
From his point of view back then it was just a fun game. He didn't know what fighting means. They gave them a rifle and the opportunity to become a national hero. That's pretty nice for a 16 yo.
He was stationed somewhere in the netherland forrests. Waiting in the trenches and playing cards with his (also 16/17 yo friends). That war was not a serious thing to him. More like beeing in a summer camp. So they left the rifles at the trees.
Then american soldiers approaching. They spotted the rifles and the entrenchments and start shooting. He said that he was frightened immediatly. They had no weapons and where unable to leave the trench. Everytime they tried to get out the american machinegun starts firing. So those boys stayed in the entrenchement.
Because the americans couldn't go any further (I guess they assumed a trap or a lot of german soldiers) nor were they able to kill any soldiers they saw because they hid the americans started to bombarded the area with mortars. Dead end. My grandfather thought he would never come home. Obviously he did otherwise I wouldn't be able to write this.
A german tank division pushed the americans back. The commander was shocked to see boys around there without leadership so he sent them back home.
Facts about fury:
1-Best OST name : Norman / Emma
2-Movie versions : 2
3-While the storyline is fictional, the depiction of Fury and its commander Wardaddy parallels the experience of several real Allied tankers, such as the American tank commander Staff Sergeant Lafayette G. "War Daddy" Pool, who landed just after D-Day and destroyed 258 enemy vehicles before his tank was knocked out.
49:00 yeah they prevented that SS battalion from attacking the US Army supply line. Brads Captain told him if anything gets passed you there will be nothing left to stop the SS from destroying the supply line basically so if they ran from that position it would have been devastating to the US Army advancement deeper into Germany. Basically they knew it was a death warrant but stayed anyways. Heroic action.
What i like about this movie. I think it is the only war movie that used an actual working Tiger tank. Most other movies either use mock ups or call other more modern tanks Tigers. The Tiger in this movie was borrowed from the Bovington tank museum and the tank is known as Tiger 131.
As an example of how tough the Tiger was. There is a video, "the tiger that wouldnt die". A Tiger tank was in a battle in Russia for 6 hours. It took dozens of hits from various calibers. The tank managed to drive itself back 60km to safety. They counted up the hits. The tank was hit 252 times.
that’s a crazy good thing to know thank you about it
a lot of people wonder why they chose to stay and fight, but don’t understand the dinner scene.
the dinner scene shows that no matter how much you want to return to normalcy, you can’t. sitting around like a big family reading the news, and then the war creeps back in. that was the point of the horses story. and dons outburst and frustration after “it is what happened don. sitting around playing house with a couple bitch krauts isn’t gonna change a thing.”
if you notice, norman was really clean before the artillery scene, and after the scene he is dirty and exausted just like the guys in the opening scene.
they stay because no matter what they can’t leave. there will never be a return to normalcy. they will be in hell forever.
the cereal aisle scene from the hurt locker portrays this well.
so does the closing scene from jarhead.
the dinner scene is the most important of the movie imo.
thank you for explaining that further. it makes sense.
During war time women and children were starving to death, who didn’t fight. So Americans could tell who was friendly by how starved they looked and fed them and like you said used their showers and such
The term "coon-ass" is a derogatory term used to describe someone from Louisiana, I remember being attached to armored units, when I was in the aervice('89-'92) we provided air defense for them, they took care of us for sure, we would park our humvee behind a tank in our defensive position, and during the cold German winter, we wouldnt even have to run our heat, we were comfortable though
honestly that’s extremely cool and thank you for everything.
In the last fight, y’all wondered what, “the 50” was. It’s the Browning .50 caliber machine gun attached to a swivel on the top of the turret. It was and is an absolutely magnificent weapon. It was designed by Browning in the 1920s or 1930s and is still in use 100 years later. The ‘.50’ refers to the diameter of the barrel being .5 or 1/2 of an inch. If you’ll notice, the turret of the Sherman isn’t broad enough to mount the weapon where a crewman inside the turret can operate it. In the first attack against the cannons, you’ll see an infantry soldier standing on the back deck of the Sherman. At the end of the last fight War Daddy, too, had to stand behind the turret to fire it. The calculation was that the value of the gun was such that designers figured the advantage of having it outweighed the risk of exposing your whole body to fire it and this proved largely true. The .50 can easily chop down even the thickest trees with only a few rounds. It’s rugged, reliable, powerful and wondrously accurate. The round is not quite as long as your outstretched palm and as thick around as your thumb. WWII fighter planes carried 6 or 8 of them. WWII bombers carried something like 12 to try and fend off enemy fighters. When Allied fighters swooped down and shot or strafed tanks, the .50s cut through the thinner top armor of tanks like a hot knife through butter. I recall an incident where an African American fighter pilot, one of the famous Tuskegee Airman, flying a P-51 Mustang that mounted 4 in each wing sunk a German warship using only its guns. The .50 caliber bullets slicing into the ship from above caused the ammunition magazine to explode. Modern Abrams tanks mount, essentially, the same gun. The design is 100 years old but ‘if it ain’t broke…’
Watch "band of brothers"
15:25 to answer that. The commander of the tank is constantly telling the driver what to do. Brad pitt is the tank commander. In war a tank crew have to constantly communicate since they dont really have good vision inside and only the tank commander really has any proper view outside. So the commander is always telling the other whats to do.
I love this movie and loved your reaction. SFC, US Army, Retired. Iraq 04-05, 05-06 M1A2SEP tank gunner. One thing I want to comment on is at the beginning you said it was crazy how they could sit and joke in that kind of environment. It's kind of how we keep our sanity during the craziness. You get closer to your brothers/sisters of the military than your own actual family because you know that they have your back and will go through hell to protect you. Those are the ones that you rely on for strength/hope/sanity in the craziest of times. Also, when you're looking at those tanks you see 4 holes. 2 on top of the turret (thing the big cannon is on) 2 below and to the front of the turret. if you're standing in front of it, the hole on your right is the driver. The one I was in, there is only one hatch below the turret and that is where the driver gets into and out of his station.
i totally understand that. thanks for sharing that 😊
"Ideals are peaceful. History is violent."
Fun Fact: All of the extras are British military or former military. One scene had 350 extras.
Gun Enthusiast Fact: Brad Pitt shoots several German soldiers with a German-made Sturmgewehr 44, also known as a StG 44, the world's first successful assault rifle.
Tank Enthusiast Fact: The second time a genuine Tiger I tank has been used in the production of a WWII film. It features "Tiger 131" from the UK's Bovington Tank Museum, the only fully functioning Tiger I tank in the world.
Historical Fact: Despite the dramatic ending, it should be mentioned that the Ordnance Battalion attached to the 2nd Armored Division would have had Fury cleaned, painted inside, patched, repaired, and released in about 48 hours. The Sherman tanks seen in this movie were considered the weakest of tanks at that time period. However, the L55 M1A2 76mm gun mounted on Fury was capable of penetrating the front armor of the Tiger tank at ranges up to 700 meters, more if HVAP ammo was used.
thanks for all of that. especially for someone who knows little thank you again.
You're welcome. My pleasure.
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
Weakest of the time period? If I'm understanding the context correctly that isn't true, the Japanese type 97, the type 95 HA-GO, the English crusader, and virtually every Italian tank were verifiably inferior to the Sherman.
1:03:44 this is soviet soliders
thanks for watching and letting us know that 🩷
christ when you said, "mobilizing" when the civilians are escaping the nazis, I couldn't help but laugh xD.
Brads captain was also the captain in Blackhawk Down and the English Colonel in, The Patriot!
Lucius Malfoy
Don made Norman do it to "spare" them/her (Emma). Imagine the outcome if the rest of the crew came in earlier. Don knew that either way someone would take advantage of her. This was the "least" worse outcome.
As someone big into WW2 history, it always pains me that this movie perpetuates the myth that shermans were out matched by german armor our normal 75mm and 76mm shermans could easily go toe to toe with panzer IVs and Fury herself is an easy eight sherman as they called em and with her long 76mm could easily penetrate the front armor plate of a panzer V aka a Tiger tank, plus the completely inaccurate portrayal of a german sneak attack on an armored column and the over use of tracer rounds in machineguns.
Shermans outmatched in 1v1 competition, but we had superior numbers (especially towards the end of the war as the German war machine ran out of materials). We have had what is arguably the best main battle tank in the world since the inception of the Abrams. There are arguments that the days of tanks and tank warfare are over. While this might be true on some scale, they'll never go away completely.
Mrs. October you crack me up you said he doesn't even get a practice shot LMFAO 😂
Kelly I miss you! I miss working thirds with you we made such a blast out of it and we did so good!
loved how they gave respects before the reaction starts
The rules of war are brutally clear: a soldier captured in your nation’s uniform is a spy. Spies expect death. I truly mean no disrespect to you but absolutely no one can know they’ll kill in battle. The prohibition against killing is very strong. I’d remind you of the reports all too common in the American Civil War. Infantry soldiers’ most important skill was the whole sequence of events necessary to fire their muskets. Soldiers were drilled on this until they could do it three times/minute. The reports are too numerous to be ignored, after the battle soldiers were frequently found with musket barrels stuffed with undischarged rounds. The soldiers would load and not fire and load again. They could load perfectly but couldn’t pull the trigger.
War Daddy is the Commander. Bible is the Gunner. Coon-ass is the loader. Gordo is the driver. Norman is the Assistant Driver and Machinegunner.
thanks for that! we didn’t know who did what 👍 thanks for watching
49:24 That’s true. The crew is playing dead (by lighting sacks and a dead body on fire) to trick the Germans into thinking the tank is knocked out of action. That way, the tank crew can draw them in and ambush them. This is an example of field craft.
Def watch Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, and The Pacific.
Its not bullying they are testing him. U have to know how they will react to adversity. If they cant handle it in the beginning u gotta break them down to build them back up.
"Oh my God, that was Chad Pitt" 😂 commented this right after you said that, love y'alls reactions to historical movies and shite, if y'all ever do get the chance, or if you've heard the recommendation before, or if you just like history of war and metal, try reacting to Sabaton cuz you guys seem like you'd love em^^
Edit: just got to the part with the German soldier who "surrendered" and was executed, technically what they did was legal to him, although I agree I wish he would've just been taken prisoner, but if an enemy soldier finds and wears the outfit of your soldiers, he could be punished by death, cuz it's like a cowardly act to do, hiding among your enemy to live, after your comrades were killed while fighting to the last, something universally disrespectful among nations
The German at the end ..one kid saved another kid
On the topic of civilian women in ww2, Rape was something that occurred often as towns and cities were captured. Germans and Japanese soldiers on the Axis side were largely perpetrators, on the allies side, US, UK ect. It was illegal to do so. The Soviets however after years and years of atrocities by German. They brought suffer just as awful to Germany. During Berlins capture at least 100,000 women were raped by Soviet troops. It was an awful for women on all sides where battles where fought.
omggggg i believe it 😞
There's a deleted scene where Grady (C**n Ass) talks about what he saw...it makes you realize why he's so broken and angry throughout the movie, especially when they catch them with the German girls
oh wow, i could understand how hard it would be to be a happy great loving person during those times.
@@TheOctobersReact in case you look for it, just search Fury - deleted scene (nervous soldier)
Y’all were talking about, more or less, ‘What’s next for Norman?’ Well, the phrase you learn is ‘needs of the Army.’ If the Army sends Norman back to being a typist, he’ll do that. If the Army chooses to plop him down in another tank with a new crew, it will. He’d most likely be a bow gunner/assistant driver again, as he still hasn’t been properly trained/been to ‘tank school.’ America fought WWII utilizing American strengths: mass production and the higher level of automotive/technical skills or our soldiers compared to other nations. America had already begun its love affair with the car shortly after 1900. Ford’s Model T’s were everywhere. Most American soldiers from either being farm boys or city boys had some familiarity with tractors or cars. Often German soldiers, when their vehicles broke down, actually knew very little about how combustion engines worked and were frequently at a loss to do anything to get the vehicle back up and running. Simple tasks such as changing/checking the oil or spark plugs were outside of many German boys’ abilities. German tanks were often heavier armored and carried heavier guns but were also more complex machines compared to the simpler, lighter Sherman tanks. The American tanks were produced in huge numbers, from memory, something like 49,000 Shermans against 1900 of the feared Tiger tanks. We just out-produced the Germans. Side-note, one of the designers of the Tiger tank was a man whose name, I’ll bet, is familiar to you: Ferdinand Porsche. Basically, if a factory produced, let’s say, typewriters or sewing machines before the war, then it’s really not hard to re-tool it to then produce machine guns. American tanks were produced, it should not come as a surprise, in the same Detroit factories that produced cars before and after the war. American designers did see the need to design and produce a heavier tank with a larger gun that could stand against the heavier German tanks but the war was over a few weeks only from when the first ones arrived in Europe. The Germans had a huge problem from even before the start of the war that they didn’t have enough oil/gas to supply the huge numbers of tanks America produced so they went for quality over quantity. America had Texas, thus, more oil than we could ever need. We went with huge numbers of simple, reliable, easily maintained & repaired tanks. Our maintenance units could put a knocked out American tank bank into operation within 48 hours. Finding the crews to run them was harder than repairing them, thus soldiers like Norman were thrown into them. I saw an interview by an American tanker that told of a day that 20 tanks crewed by 5 men apiece who had no more than 30 minutes’ training were sent down a road and killed to a man by the more experienced German tankers.
Ok, here’s a History story….. So, I show you a vehicle that has caterpillar treads for good cross-country mobility and a large gun on it possibly mounted in a structure that spins that allows the gun to point in a completely different direction than the way the vehicle travels…..
I show you this thing and ask you, “What would you call this thing?” Now, knowing what you know, you might very well answer quickly, “Why, that’s a ‘tank.’” Consider, please, for a moment, though…… Why did you use that word to describe this vehicle? If you were German you might go with ‘Panzerkampfwagen,’ a ‘tank-war-wagon’ which is how Germans did and do refer to them. Doesn’t that make more sense, though? It’s covered, it rolls along the ground and it’s used in war. Tank-war-wagon. Why did you call it a ‘tank?’ You called it a tank because in WWI, when they were first used by the British against the Germans, the problem was they were designed in England, built in England but shipped across the Channel into French ports which were chock full of German spies before reaching the front lines in Northern France. A sizable percentage of the value of tanks lies in their ability to move, thus attack into unsuspecting troops. Besides building the first tanks, England also came up with a cover story to freely relay to French port workers in the employ of the Germans. Knowing exactly what a specific tank can do and where, exactly, it will hit robs it of much of its power. So the British needed these first armored, tracked vehicles to be a surprise. When people asked “What are those things?” the cover story was, “Oh, those are just ‘water tanks.’ They deliver fresh, clean drinking water to the boys on the front lines. They’re just tanks for carrying water!”
The name, however, stuck!
Just like that tanker who shot himself to spare himself from burning alive, pilots in WWI were issued revolvers for pretty much the same reason, WWI planes were made out of dry wood and canvas, and the stiffening agent they used on the wings was HIGHLY flammable, and planes were very likely to catch on fire from enemy fire or engine issues. Parachutes weren't even issued to American pilots because the higher-ups didn't want them to bail out at the first sign of trouble, but then the reality of trained pilots being more valuable than planes set in and in WW2 parachutes were standard issue.
You guys seem to know very little of WW2 and what our troops were fighting against. Hitler and the SS were ruthless murderers that killed over 6 million Jews and ethnic minorities. There are very few times in this movie that made me laugh. It's full of sadness. The scene giving 'Machine' his war-name brought me to tears because of the camaraderie. They accepted him as their brother and that they will die together making a stand against pure evil. That's what honor is all about.
You may feel the compulsion to run when faced with the terror of war. Soldiers have a different obligation. War Daddy knew that and faced the end - and so did Norman - then all of them realized and understood that death was their sacrifice to the cause. To run at that point would haunt any one of them - or anyone - for the rest of their lives and they would have died in dishonor - the worst fate a soldier could ever imagine. It's better do die fighting for the cause than to die running in fear and cowardice or on your knees as a slave or a prisoner.
we are planing on watching more bc obviously we know extremely little bit are so so interested
@@TheOctobersReact I want to apologize for tense nature of my comment. War movies have a vivid affect me, especially good ones like 'FURY' and the meme of the minds of soldiers in the hell of combat. You guys are good folks and you're doing a great job with your channel. I'm a follower and really love your reactions.
The Japanese at the time were on a similar path as the nazis.
My country of Australia was so worried about Japan and the possibility of them invading that we ended up stockpiling over 1 million tonnes of mustard and phosgene poison gas shells for use as had been used in ww1.
For me, this collection of medals at minute 03:38 has - as they say in German - a bland aftertaste. Three of these five awards are for civilians, one of which is specifically for mothers with at least four children. Either the filmmaker wanted to underline that the crew of Fury also likes to slaughter civilians - old men, women and children - and steal their medals, or the decorator of the film has no idea what exactly he hung there for decoration...
It really amazes me how little you two know about pretty much everything
A beautiful movie. His palm reading of Emma came true. Norman was also great in 3.10 to yuma. The final battle could have been influenced by an actual even in ww2 that Audie Murphy did, by single handedly holding off a German battalion, with a 50!cal, on a burning non moving army tank destroyer, for over an hour, by himself. If u need other true events or true story movies, watch Saving Private Ryan, 13 hours, Lone Survivor, hacksaw Ridge, Once we were Soldiers, Blackhawk Down,1917, Dunkirk, Thin Red Line, Unbroken, Big Red One, Hamburger Hill, American sniper. Also watch a video here about maybe the greatest soldier of all time. Type in Roy Benevides the Lazarus Soldier! I met him once in the early nineties when I was stationed at Bragg!
It was a beautiful movie! We are gonna watch all of them!
I've never driven a "tank" per se, but I've driven and been the gunner on a Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV). Think of it as a mini, more tactical tank. Mainly used to get troops in fighting position. And I'll say, what an experience.
Those are old Sherman tanks and the other tank that they are fighting later on in the movie is a tiger tank I think more specifically it is a tiger 4 there was a really big tiger type two but they named king tiger I don’t think they made very many of these because they were so costly to run just a little bit of tank trivia. Also I forgot to mention the hack track that’s that truck with tank treads
The rifle used by Wardaddy was the Sturmgewehr 44, the pioneer of the famous AK 47
A Sherman tank had a crew of five. The driver sat in the front on the left, machine-gunner/asst. driver on the right in front, gunner and loader low in the turret and the commander high in the turret in the hatch
Veteran combat soldiers didn't want to get to know or get close to new guys. With their inexperience, new guys had a very short life span. The vets had seen enough friends killed and typically rudely shunned overtures by new guys to make friends. If the new guy lived long enough he became a veteran and fit in much better.
Wait till they see Saving Private Ryan
we plan on it
They got so much wrong with this movie but they had all the right assets. still makes for a damn good movie if you're not familiar with WW2
What was a part they got wrong?
@@TheOctobersReact every battle scene
Bro really said every battle scene, like it’s based off of a real life story
@@gamerxzon3827 There were combat doctrines and tactics back then. This movie contradicts them all. Everything you see makes absolutely no fucking sense.
@@gamerxzon3827 None of the characters or battles fought in this movie are real. Not sure what you think is the 'real-life story'. I guess its set in WW2. That was real.
I cannot wait for more movies, you guys cool! my new fav reactors couple yaaaayyy! 😍
aw thanks we have up and scary movie and dune coming up. thanks for watching!
In the tank battle scene, the US had 4 Sherman medium tanks, of various modifications. The Germans had one Tiger heavy tank. In the real war, this was not even a competition. A Tiger could one shot kill a Sherman up to 3 kilometres away from the front. The Sherman had to get to the Tiger's sides and close and personal to do anything. That said, in this movie, it is a bit inaccurate. The Fury Sherman has a long barrelled 76 mm gun, that thing was at least on paper capable of killing a Tiger at a kilometre range.
The main enemy of German tanks were usually not the enemy tanks, but lack of fuel, allied air power and German over-complicated design. The US reused Shermans who were disabled or crews already killed. The Tiger, once disabled, probably remained disabled as the Germans had bad maintenance and repair lines.
In a one on one, neither US or UK had anything to come close to German power (except perhaps the Pershing tank, which came basically to late to make a difference), but if you starve the enemy of fuel, any tank is useless. The US issue was that their plan of ignoring German tank formations and just go around them, would only have worked if the Germans would have played the same game, which they didn't.
Ironically, the US tanks were about a year behind the Russian tank designs. The T-34 was in a way the same as the Sherman, but when the Sherman began battling German tanks in West Europe in 1944, the Russians were already replacing the T-34 with much better machines, like the T-34-85 and IS-2. And the IS-2 could go and match power with the King Tiger, an even more intimidating tank than the Tiger 1 model we see in this movie.
So the Allies were on the back foot here. They did have material, numbers, fuel and air superiority. And the fact that the Russians had already mauled the German war machine down so far that the Allies faced far weaker opposition than what they could have otherwise.
That wasn’t bullet holes burning in their skin that was actually the ‘Willie Pete’ smoke round they fired from the tank shell. Particles would stick to fabric and skin and burn right through. Like hot metal shards ect
There are no films like this! Best tank warfare film (.01%film)! Great reaction kids!
also t-34
@12:15 Wardaddy killed kids who were members of the Hitlerjugend or Hitler Youth. Hitler Youth were basically Hitler's Child Soldiers trained to be killers. Boys were soldiers and Girls were nurses, however, in 1945, Girls were forced to play war to defend the Fatherland. When you saw "Hitler declares TOTAL WAR, mobilizing every man, woman and child", everyone was drafted to play WW2.
@40:50 the Tiger tank was the most feared tank in WW2. The standard American tank "Sherman M4" was no match for the German Tiger, King Tiger, and the standard "Panther" tanks. The Allies had to rely mostly on heavy airstrike when encountering Nazi Armored Battalions.
You should watch😊
Das Boot (1982)
Most famous German (war)movie
Movie was Split in Episodes because of lenght. So ITS different to series from sky
On the, “Is it bad I don’t know whose side those planes are for?” By 1945 the Allied Air Forces had achieved the ideal state of Air Dominance. Though the ground forces were fighting in Germany, the sky was owned by the Allies. If you look at the newsreels and such from the time, Allied vehicles and troops did everything they could, including placing brightly colored panels on the backs of their tanks to be identifiable from the air. The feared Tiger tanks were most often killed not by our tanks but by our airplanes. The Germans, on the other hand, did everything they could to camouflage their tanks, especially from the air. If you see, in those old films, a tank doing its damndest to look like a haystack or a bush, then you can be sure it’s German. Some German shot/produced newsreels showing grizzled, tired German troops’ faces for more than a few seconds in actual combat will show German troops, almost reflexively, darting their eyes upward frequently. It was a bit of a tic picked up by seasoned German troops. To stay alive they had to constantly be looking not just at the ground around them but, because ‘Death from Above’ could constantly appear suddenly, they had to be much more aware than Allied troops of the, if you like, 3-Dimensional threats all around them.
The Luftwaffe had about half their air power engaged in trying to surpass the russians, it never happened. The german military had 80% of their strenght on the Eastern Front, "maybe" that is why they looked "weak" to the British and Americans...
@@isabelsilva62023 I’m not aware of nor have I ever read any account, anywhere from the Western Allies claiming the Germans were weak. I do recall, specifically, an interview with British veterans of the North Africa campaign where the fairly unanimous opinion was that the Germans, on a man for man basis were much better soldiers and only by amassing overwhelming firepower, forcing the Germans to fight at the end of an excruciatingly long and tenuous supply line and forcing them into the sort of set-piece battle that Montgomery preferred with belts of mines and barbed wire prepared, their own supply dumps piled high and complete control of the air, could the toughness of their soldiers and the tactical brilliance of Rommel stand a chance of succeeding. I’d be very curious what source you’re citing that claimed the Germans were ‘weak.’
@@isabelsilva62023 I’m also not sure how, exactly, you’re calculating “1/2 the Luftwaffe dedicated to the Eastern Front.” We’d need to establish what time period, exactly, you were referencing. By the time portrayed in ‘Fury’ the Luftwaffe was a completely spent force. Practically every plane they had, which wasn’t many by then, was dedicated to blunting the sustained bomber campaign. At the outset of Barbarossa the strength of the Luftwaffe amounted to 4,389 aircraft, of which 2,598 were combat types and 1,939 were operational. About 2500 planes were assigned to the invasion. Simply by numbers, the Soviet Air Force dwarfed the Luftwaffe but the Germans held a clear quality advantage in their machines, tactics, flexibility and pilots. Stalin’s refusal to accept the reality of the invasion also meant that the Luftwaffe destroyed huge numbers of aircraft on the ground. Those Soviet pilots and planes that did get airborne measured their lifespan in seconds. Conditions were so bad that the Soviet Air Force considered briefing their pilots to attempt to simply ram Luftwaffe machines in the air. It was a dismal combination of under-trained Soviet pilots flying significantly outclassed planes trying to stem the tide against the most advanced and battle-hardened Air Force in the world with the possible exception of Japan. Compounding all of these seemingly insurmountable obstacles was the fact that the German Army was advancing so quickly that the Soviet Air Force was forced to constantly re-base their frontline airfields and, given the overall conditions in the Soviet Union, the Air Force had to displace their equipment from already rough forward fields to even rougher makeshift fields. Only the full brunt of Russian winter allowed the Soviet Air Force a respite to address the mountain of problems it faced.
@@isabelsilva62023 The way modern World War II scholars such as Victor Davis Hanson formulate what I think you’re trying to say is that strictly on the ground, the Soviets won the war in Europe and, most probably, could have done so without any help from the Western Allies ground forces. By best reckoning the contrary would, most probably, have not been true, certainly not by 1945. However, it is far more accurate to say that the war in Europe was won by a combination of Allied air power and Soviet ground forces. Another way of saying the same thing; the combination of Western air power and Soviet ground forces were unbeatable but if the Allies had depended on Soviet air power and the Western Allies ground forces alone, well, it most likely would have had to have been Berlin and the Wolf’s Lair being nuked, not Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
@@isabelsilva62023 To go a little further down the ‘What if….’ rabbit hole…. If we accept it was the combination of Soviet ground power and Western Allies’ air power that won the war in Europe and we then look at only those two forces, could just one of those forces have defeated the Germans alone? Seeing as how, even to this day, AirPower has never won a conflict of any size alone, it’s impossible to argue for that outcome. Views on whether the Soviet Army alone could have won, I’ve heard Victor Davis Hanson argue against that specific thesis. Hanson contends that the Western Allies’ round the clock bombing was essential to diminish the manufacturing and transportation bases of Nazi Germany.
The tread on tanks are hardened steel plates so essentially nothing short of explosives will damage the tread in any kind of meaningful way.
17:42 That gave bro PTSD 😂
The Great American Soldier inside all of US, that’s what makes us who we are😊👍✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸
I appreciate the beginning, I’m currently stationed and okinawa japan
This is Mr. October the dude, but my mom used to live there actually
Thanks again for all you do for us!
They call them "Krauts" after "Saurkraut" which is a popular condiment in Germany!
Those were called Sherman tanks. The guy below drove it with joysticks. That was his only job. One was to load the rounds and thats all he did. Most all.of them had a turret gun and it was a very small space too close for comfort was an understatement. The Germans had better steel at the time and vetter design than the US.
Enjoyed the reactions, thanks for sharing with us,🙏👍✌️🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed! thanks for watching !
Gordo is the driver, Machine is the gunner
in the last part of the movie im guessing he let him live because they were both young people and im guessing the German kid just had enough of the war
yeah it kinda seems that way
We all named our tanks - the name (typically) had to start with the letter of the company you were in.
what was yours name ?
Weakest tank armor is in the rear, next weakest in each side, strongest in front. War Daddy took three high-caliber sniper rounds in the upper body; yeah, he'll bleed-out. I believe "Fury" outdoes "Saving Private Ryan" for war-depiction GRITTINESS. The lighting in the "see Norman under the tank" is very dark, but it appears the German soldier with the flashlight was a youngster and recognized "Machine" as a fellow in a losing situation and in that very brief moment, felt pity for a fellow "dog soldier."
aw yeah that would make sense why he just let him go, i thought they’d kill any and everything
I am paused @30:30 to answer your question about civilian females in war: America had approximately 10 people executed for rape during the war. Russia had approximately 2,000,000 complaints of rape, during and after the war, very few were punished.
appreciate you for answering that. and wow just wow
You guys should watch unbroken that is based on a true story about a man who went through so much one thing after another
All Enna has seen has been violence, death, and punishment from the Nazis - she is young - likely never experienced the touch of someone (sex), and knew she would likely not survive the war. One soft experience was almost too much to ask for and Norman provided that.
There are no atheists on the battlefield where life and death is at stake. God bless all of the outgunned tank crews who boldly charged into danger knowing full well they were hopelessly out matched! God bless all the courageous veterans with nerves of steel who risked everything and selflessly sacrificed so much to protect our countries and preserve the freedoms we enjoy today! God bless all the souls - military and civilian - that we have lost in times of war! God bless America! God bless us all and grant us peace!
the word civilian has never rung more true than those two tho, check definition
22:22 nonstop raids were conducted in Germany. British Air forces at night and Americans during the day.
I tried to edit a comment but now i can't find it some i apologize again if i post this twice.
First off, if you haven't looked it up or had someone tell you, then the events in Fury are taking place at the end of the war. I think they said it was April 1945 and the war with Germany ended a month later on May 7th, 1945. Germany surrendered a week after Hitler killed himself (unless you believe the conspiracy theory that he actually escaped to Argentina). The war started in 1939 with Germany invading Poland. The U.S. did not want to enter war, but were basically forced to when Japan sneak attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941.
Also, if you're looking for more WW2 stuff to watch there is a HBO mini-series called Band of Brothers that is not only a great WW2 show but one of the best mini-series of all time. Band of Brothers focuses on D-day and the fighting in Europe. There is another mini-series made by the same people called The Pacific that's about the fight with Japan. In my opinion Band of Brothers is much better, but people love both.
Inglorious Basterds is another Brad Pitt WW2 movie made by Quentin Tarantino that is amazing. However, a lot of what happens in the movie is made up but it's still awesome.
I really want to edit this to fix the mistakes but I'm worried it will get deleted again. I think i was trying to say " I can't find it, so i apologize" in the first sentence there.
no prob! i can never figure that out either lol but we definitely need to check those out for sure thanks for the suggestions and thanks for watching
They are a blast to drive - The M1 series has a turbine engine - lots of power. 19K - best job I ever had.
aw thanks for sharing that with us!
THANK YOU BOTH!!!
SEMPER FIDELIS.
The “ugly tank” isn’t a tank it’s more like a APC ( Armored Personel Carrier ) and it’s called a half track
I absolutely adore this movie though one thing that I don't like us the idea that German armor was completely impervious and unable to be penetrated by allied guns. Any one of those sherman tanks could've taken out that tiger by the time they were within 400 yards. Even fury with the upgraded 76mm gun could've taken out the tiger from as far as the trees they almost backed into. I've talked to a few of vets some of them tankers and they all pretty much agreed the Tiger was bit the monster German propaganda made it out to be. One of these men who was a gunner on a Sherman talked about it to me and he said yes he was scared of tigers until December of 1944 when he set a tiger on fire from 350 yards, he said he was no longer impressed
The soldiers behind the fence watching brad cry were German POWS.
Y’all have to do the Band of Brothers and the Pacific, enjoyed watching your reactions, thanks for sharing 👍✌️🇺🇸
War is ugly, doesn’t matter how you want to spin it. But at the end of the day, it’s your life over someone else’s. Does not matter if you think it’s wrong, the other person may not think that and has no problem ending your life. There’s a reason why todays generation and the one before mine are not meant to be actual men or would they have been able to be in WW2. You learn to do the job, may suck and you may regret it later on, but you do what you’re told and so you can go home.
No way any soldier would attack a disabled tank head on. All a soldier had to do is wait for night walk 20 ft to the left or right and come from behind and blow it up. A lone tank is a dead tank.
And as an aside, guy in red shirt looks like the kid in, Almost Famous, but with glasses!😅
I kinda do haha
Shia LaBeouf got so itno character tha he didn't shower while filming this movie. That nan really gets into hsi role. Oh and he played in "Tax Collector " he played a character in the Cartel. Very very good movie
Fury is my favorite movie
The tanks designation is m4a3e8
thanks for watching ❤️
Best job i ever had means, I love u guys.
that part made ms october cry like a baby
@ 41:20 ish
Damn! You’re reactions were almost perfectly in sync with one another 😅 and even tho it’s not too difficult to figure out exactly what you guys were seeing on the screen, I.e the thing that actually caused the awesome reactions in the first place…it would’ve been great to see both on screen together.
But…oh well, who cares 😉 as that simultaneous and synced reaction put a smile on my face regardless! 😅 which was then immediately replaced by the “oh shit!” face because I suddenly remembered about the freaking tank “battle” which in truth was more like a “HOLY SHIT it’s a Tiger tank and everybody but Fury’s crew is going to be dead shortly!” kinda situation 😨
Saludo desde la República Dominicana excelente vídeo
greetings and gracias !! 😃
The German soldier let him live because he was a young German soldier themself
25:04 Sign says "I am a coward and won't fight for the German people battle"
mobilization is the sending into active combat roles, like "the mobilization of troops" but no no Germanys' leader mobilized EVERYONE
also they call them krauts because they like saurkraut
In reality the battle with the Tiger tank after Fury was hit and leaking oil the battle would have ended their. The German tank commander was inexperienced. You take out the lead tank then the rear tank then the tanks in the middle are trapped. Yes the Tiger tank was heavily armored and bigger but slower. The Sherman's for Fireflys were badly out classed and easily destroyed by Tigers but as the war dragged on and Germany's supplies dwindled the Tigers with no gas or stuck in the mud or whereever were easy to pick off for USAF fighters and bombers same from the RAF. That was a real functioning Tiger tank and a real functioning Sherman tank. Thr sniper was a copy of Wardaddy. He saw a lot of combat and very experienced. The young German soldier a copy of Norman. Inexperienced but also showed humanity by not reporting he saw him. When US troops plus British captured towns throughput it is unknown if there was any interactions like that with women but my guess is during the downtime i would think something like this happened. Don't forget the Soviet Union was closing in on Berlin from the East so Hilter was very desperate to stay in power and ordered everyone children included fight for Germany or die. Check out Schindler's List and Valkrie. Two movies based on true stories and talk about two Germans who didn't believe in what Hitler was doing
okay those sound good we will check them out and thanks for all that information. ❤️ thanks for watching
