You should watch the 1965 Norwegian ww2 resistance movie . Heroes of Telemark... Norwegian resistance attempts to destroy heavy water production being made by the Nazis for a atom bomb.. Based on a true story.
13 Hours is well worth your time. Its as human as it sad, but the story needs to be heard by more people. Its also the first movie John Krasinski made a name for himself as more than a comedy actor.
hi centane im greeting from korea FURY is real event but not WW2 actually its happening in korean war american tank stuck in hostile territory and became invincible fortress i hear that story after this movie at teater incredible story
The German soldier who spared Norman was the German version of him. Just some poor guy dragged into war that didn't want to kill. Ayer included him in the movie so you could see that not all German soldiers were bad.
@@mackdonaldvivasmonroy4378 As it was put in The First Avenger - the first country the Nazis invaded was Germany. Many of the german soldiers were just men defending their homeland, drafted to die in a war they didn't want.
This film is one World War II movie with an emphasis on the horrors of war and which minimizes the heroic aspects of being a soldier. In this film, war really is hell.
I contend that the emphasis in 'Fury' on the horrors of war doesn't minimize the heroic aspects of being a soldier; instead it throws into vivid understanding the heroic aspects of those soldiers that went into that horror voluntarily to destroy evil. As 'Bible' quoted 'Here am I, Send me."
There are no heroes in war, only monsters. If they were monsters voluntarily going in or made a monster by force matters little. Killing people for meaningless borders and the interest of rich cunts is disgusting and subhuman. Celebrating veterans is no different than celebrating rapists and child molesters.
In the immortal words of Benjamin Franklin Pierce. "War isn't hell. War is War and Hell is Hell and of the two War is a lot worse. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell but War is chalked full of them."
The ending was a very heroic deed. They all knew the likelihood of surviving were slim to none with 5 against 200 to 300. However, they were instructed to hold the crossroads to prevent a wave coming into a town full of doctors and supply trains. So, they puffed their chests up high and took out as many as they could thus lightening the load for the town up ahead.
Yeah. There aren't any heroes. Just the dead vs the survivors, and if you're a survivor it's all about whether you did what you could to help/protect your brothers (sisters too, now), and keep your humanity intact. There's plenty of bravery, sacrifice and such in war, but speaking as someone who grew up in a military family around a bunch of vets, almost nobody comes out of war thinking of themselves as a hero. You see why with Norman at the end. Other people might say you're a hero, but that's not a label most vets will accept and call themselves. (Except maybe when particularly bitter/drunk/angry at the world.)
Soldiers wore 2 tags around their necks. They were both identical and contained the name serial number and religion of each man. Whenever a man was KIA (killed in action) one tag remained with the dead soldier and the other one was taken by a designated member of the unit. Soldiers whose bodies could be found were designated missing in action (MIA). Missing in action almost always meant the soldier was dead but there were no remains to bury. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is dedicated to those whose remains were found but no I.D. was possible.
@@S1D3W1ND3R015actually I’m pretty sure it is two around your neck, and one in your boot lace But I’m also sure they have identification slips in their pockets And let me not forget, I’m not sure, but I think a they also have blood type on the dog tags as well.
@@JulianLopez-mh6be I've only been given two at a time. Granted I'm not combat arms, just support so maybe its different for them. All I know is definitely one in your boot in case you get blown up.
Brad pitts character is based off a real “war daddy” his name was Layafette G Pool. He was from Texas, and managed to Americas top tank ace during the war. Layafette Pool managed to kill 12 tanks, and a ton of armored vehicles all in the span of 81 days.
@@PropperNaughtyGeezer because he was a full blown SS Nazi member, and died in Normandy by allied forces. Unlike Lafayette where he actually lived lol. Making a movie about a Waffen SS member might not go so well especially in places like Germany lol.
The makers of this film clearly didn't give a damn about actual events. The stupid ending is proof of that. A broken down Sherman against a reinforced Waffen SS company. Give me a freaking break.
“How did they have overview of everyone who passed away?” You may notice in war movies that soldiers are given a set of dogtags. The idea is if you are killed, one of the dogtags stays with the body, so it can be identified and buried at an appropriate time. The commander will normally take the spare dog tag and put it with all the other dog tags. He’s collected from all the dead soldiers to help him keep track of who he has lost. On these dogtags, it has your name, serial number and your religion and your blood type. Your serial number is unique to only you so if your have a common name like “John Smith” they are able to tell you apart, they put your religion on there, so they know what kind of funeral to give you, they put your blood type on there in case your are only wounded and need blood. This was obviously not a full proof system as many bodies were never found which is why we have a number of people in the wars listed as missing in action..
Exactly! I know of the dogtags, but I asked about those that weren't found 😅 Do they just guess because they didn't know where people were? And has it been an incident where a family has been told someone was dead, then later they show up years later?
@@Centane I remember reading there were quite a few of such incidents. But the only 1 that I could remember is the Niland brothers, the real life brothers that the Ryan brothers from Saving Private Ryan (1998) is based off. At a time, 3 brothers have been killed, so the Army wanted to bring back the last brother home. But in reality, 1 of the 3 brothers had actually survived. He was an aircrew, his plane was shot down, Army thought he was dead, but he survived and was held as a prisoner of war (POW) and the Army discovered that he's still alive only after the war ended.
People nitpick over such frivolous little things in this movie and miss the whole reality of the brutality it captures of real war. Especially from that era. Fury is a great movie.
@@germanstormtrooper2298 True, as is Saving Private Ryan. Here you have a Tiger tank (which was mostly given to experienced commanders) just rushing against three tanks instead of picking them off from distance. Plus SS soldiers just running to the tank to get killed. In SPS german armor drives without hesitation through narrow streets, a perfect place for ambush. Still great movies tho.
Just because people nitpick doesn't mean other things are missed. Surely you don't require everybody to praise the exact same things that everybody else is praising before they're allowed to offer their critique. LMAO
@@tripwire3992 The tactics didn't change and meth wasn't as prevalent as people would have you believe (allies did amphetamines btw, mainly bomber crews) - more likely explanation is lack of experience of german commander or overconfidence in his armor
BTW, there was a real "War Daddy" and a real Sherman tank named "Fury". I saw a documentary about tanks and the Sherman on display was named Fury. Sgt. Lafayette "War Daddy" Poole was a real person who survived the war and was credited with more enemy tanks destroyed than just about anyone else.
Poole had 12 confirmed tank kills and 258 armored vehicle kills. there are alot of germans way highee then him, kurt knispel had 168 confirmed and 195 unconfirmed.
I love Brad Pitt's line when they are in the apartment and the kids go into the bedroom. "They are young and they are alive". The other woman completely understands that any of them can die at any second. Turns out he was correct, if only for a few moments longer.
They track the dead pretty much the same way we do in regular society (People who know you report you dead) with a few differences. First their unit leader keeps a head count and will report a soldier Killed In Action (KIA) or if they do not know what happened, they report them Missing In Action (MIA). After a battle there are details formed that collect the dog tags off the dead. Each soldier has two tags, one is left with the body so the body collectors can identify them later and the second goes to command so they can report them dead and request a replacement. The army did struggle to identify every body and bring them home to American soil to be buried. A lot of bodies went unidentified and many also remained in Europe for decades before being identified by DNA and brought home.
Kind of fitting this was posted right after I got back from a trip to the normandy coast. I always read and watch about ww2, you see a lot of movies about it. But seeing in person the beaches they landed on. What they had to overcome and fight through. Just gives it a whole different feeling to it all.
This movie and Hacksaw Ridge are two of the most brutal movies I've ever seen. I have so much respect for anyone that would go to war for their country, not knowing if you would make it back home.
There is an old WWII war movie well worth watching called "To Hell and Back". The main character is the most highly decorated American service member of that war, Audie Murphy and the character is played by...Audie Murphy. He was perhaps the most unlikely of volunteers to earn such a distinction. Amazing story.
@@domgriffith6483like 150 of em if im remembering correctly, and plus all the artillery he called in on the tanks and infantry was spot on. good man. sad he was addicted to pills afterward. doesnt surprise me, he killed atleast 250 people during the war. itd drive anyone with a heart insane.
There’s a deleted scene called “nervous soldier” from what I can gather, I think it’s supposed to have fit in just after the Tiger Tank scene. It’s an acting MASTERCLASS from Jon Bernthal.
When you're ready for another great war genre movie check out "Platoon" starring Charlie Sheen and Willem Defoe, among others. A young Johnny Depp is in it too. This is a Vietnam war classic. At times very dark but extremely well done.
I think a WW2 that you really must see is "Das Boot" from 1981. It was a big Hit all around the World. It's one of the, if not the best, Sub Marine Movies ever made.
The horrific losses they talk about at the start of the movie were MILD in comparison to other armed forces in the second world war. the US Armored force lost something like 3% of their soldiers (around 1400 for the entire war). Compared to a regular infantry, which had had a 18% KIA rate, being inside a tank was one of the safest places to be on the frontline. The Sherman tank was good. Reliable, not as weakly armored as one might think (sloping helps!) Sure it didn't have the fire power of the German tanks that were primarily designed to fight on the wide open steppes of the eastern front, but Fury, being a 76 Sherman, should still have been able to punch right through the front of that Tiger at that range. And they were, at least at that stage of the war, very easy to get out of, had wet ammo stowage, and contrary to popular belief, didn't burn more than any other tank.
@@airsoftpopcorn Since the landing in Normandy the Americans fought Tigers three or four times: 1. Shermans won 2. Pershing lost 3. Tigers were being unloaded from a train. Fourth one is unconfirmed. The British fought them more often but with 17-pounder guns their kd was as you've said around 1:1.
"didn't burn more than any other tank" - Early Shermans with dry stowage burned more or less ass often as other knocked-out tanks (60%-80%). Those with wet stowage almost didn't burn by comparison (5%-15% burded).
Great reaction. The Tiger tank (the German tank that destroyed 3 tanks of Don's platoon) was a real Tiger tank. The production company borrowed it from a museum in Britain. They needed to be careful with the usage of the tank during filming as it is/was the last operational Tiger tank if I'm not mistaken. Yes those Tiger tanks are monstrous. But they could not be produced in massive numbers compared to American tanks. Just like few other war movies, this one also shows the true horrors and twisted psychological impact it has on the troops. I believe they took this inspiration from Saving Private Ryan but I could be wrong for this. There are more good war movies out there, but right now u might wanna take a break from war movies.
The tiger tank battle is terrible. The 76mm on the sherman would have penetrated the front of the tiger. The tiger would always prioritize the 76 sherman over the 75 shermans. Lastly, the tiger tank would never move towards the shermans.
@@airsoftpopcorn dont forget that tiger commander manuals also stated to shoot the front tank in the column, them the last to cause maximum confusion, fury was at the front, so had 100% priority
@@thestrategistbrit also, experienced german tankers at the time knew to always prioritize the m4 sherman 76 or sherman vc before engaging 75mm shermans. This is because they knew that the 75mm sherman was not nearly as big a threat, so they needed to take out the highest threat first.
@airsoftpopcorn Without HVAP even the 76mm had to get within 300 yards to pen a Tiger frontally. Tiger I had superb nickel steel of 265 Brinell Hardness, which gave it a much more effective thickness than its paper thickness, as did the slight angling of the plates (24 degrees on the lower front). And then if the Tiger is standing oblique like here it's armour gets even thicker. Fury isn't getting through that except at close range.
@17:26 Soldiers traditionally wore ID called Dog Tags that had their name, DOB, SSN, and religion on them. They would keep one around their neck and one tied between their bootlace to identify their body.
Brad Pitt's character stayed because that was his order. They coulda all ran away, but were given orders to guard the crossroads. Their action delayed the German battalion and gave the rest of the division time to reorganize and advance in order. That's why the one guy said, "you're heroes."
My friend was a Military Advisor for this film and an extra. The end of the film where the Germans are heading towards the Tank and crew, he's one of those Germans. The darkness of this film is pretty unmatched (except for maybe The Pacific). My Grandfather served with the British Royal Armoured Corps, thankfully wasn't one of the MANY who were killed inside those tin cans full of live ammunition. Tankies were a different breed. Great film, great reaction 😊
Yeap, i said that you seem to LOVE good story telling movies after i saw your reaction on 300, and recommended Fury for you to react after it. I now highly recommend Troy, American Sniper, Rush (2013) and Black Hawk Down you to react, they are all good story telling movies too. Enjoy!
A cut part of the movie is Wardaddy’s backstory he got into a bar fight and while on the run crashes his truck with his brother Norman and Girlfriend killing them both and he got sentenced military service instead of jail so that’s why he felt connected to Norman and didn’t care about surviving the war
Appreciate the reaction! Your thought about oversight of the dead is really interesting. Reminded me of a wild true story. I had a distant great cousin who fought as a Marine in the Pacific theater of ww2. No one ever heard from him or knew of his well-being. Then he turned up out of nowhere in 1977. He was working as a logger up and down the west coast of the US. I don't remember what was said about why he didn't come back to the family (he was not a father or married at the time anyway), but it's also pretty clear he found peace being a logger in nature after he saw what he saw. No one ever held a grudge about it. How could you tbh...Man was a war hero. Greatest generation 💯
17:38 To answer your question: Each soldier wore a set of two Identifying metal plates, stamped with their name and some basic information. These were referred to as "Dog Tags". They were worn on a chain around the neck. After a battle, the bodies would be collected and one of those tags would be sent up the chain to command, while the remaining tag was left on the body for identification purposes. The information on those dog tags would be compiled in a report that was sent back to the USA in the form of lists noting the killed, wounded, or missing. It was from this information that the State Department would notify families when a soldier had fallen in battle.
The Tiger and King Tiger tanks were a menace but luckily they were not produced in large numbers , used way to much fuel and were notorious for breaking down.
My favorite part from reactions of this film is the scene of the dead guys face in the tank and the look of horror frozen in it. It truly shows the horror of war
The reason the tank crew had to walk away from everybody and flipped out of it was because he just had to get it out of his system because realizing you're the one tank that makes it back out of all your entire unit is pretty heartbreaking and even these tough guys understand that Loss. It's not just a battle but when they lose other guys it is personal because these guys are their friends and their buddies which is why he told that guy who had been in 8 weeks not to get too close to anyone... They would lose their friends and it would break their hearts and a few of them were so close that one or two every now and then would actually lose their minds and have to be taken off the battlefield to go to the hospital for a while and most of them were okay after they got off the battlefield for a while.. the one guy in band of Brothers is a good example because he was a captain but he flipped out when he saw his best friend blown up right in front of him.. after that he went from being an excellent leader to just not being able to speak and he was sent to a hospital for 2 and 1/2 to 3 months and then he was back with the guys playing baseball after World War II ended. That was band of Brothers.. The thing is these people just get so close to the ones they're working with and to realize you've just lost 100 or more men and you're the only ones left gives a bit of survivor's guilt
This movie breaksmy heart the brother hood of fear and death is one that can never be forgotten that face that got you threw and the lifes you hold so sacred
A rare thing about this movie is i think it is about the only one that features a real authentic Tiger tank. The tank in the movie was borrowed from the Bovington tank museum. There is another video "the tiger that wouldnt die". This tells of a Tiger that fought in a battle in Russia. The tank was in battle for 6 hours and took a battering. It still managed to drive itself back 60km to safety. It was then that the counted up the hits. The tank was hit 252 times.
Nice one Kamilla your empathy is off the chart, it would have been nice for Norman and the girl to survive the war together but this movie wasn't going to allow that ☹🥰
To answer your question about figuring out who passed away in a time of war, all soldiers are issued dog tags. If those tags are collected and sent back to command, the military can confrim the death and notify the family. A lot of times soldiers would put their tags on 2 different spots, incase a part of the soldier was unable to be found.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. We will remember them.
There is a deleted scene that explains exactly why Grady is so messed up. There's also one that explains the burns on War Daddy's back and why he is do connected to Norman.
i didn't know that there a scene explain why War daddy took Norman under his wing or care for him, i thought he cared for him after he saw him played the piano very well with his looks to him as he thinks that boy still has his human spirit and didn't lose it yet.
5 people savings the lives of hundreds maybe even thousands by sacrificing themselves to protect the supply chain. It's my favorite story of sacrifice. And the pan-out camera angle at the end is just ugh *chefs kiss* so emotion provoking.
Kamilla, great movie and reaction. For your own enjoyment, watch the deleted scenes for this movie. After seeing them I thought, why did they leave these scenes out, they add so much to the story. Especially the back story about Don and how he received his burns.
This was an actual Tiger Tank used in this movie. Tigers were gas guslars, something like 1/2 mile to the gallon, but would made US tanks look like pea shooters.
Yes Tigers used a lot of fuel, but they had a huge fuel tank. Their range was about the same as the Sherman. They used about 75% more fuel than the Sherman, but they also weight 75% more. Their kill rate was 11.5 to 1, so totally worth it.
@@joekellyou The same counts for materials. 75% heavier, so 75% more materials. But 11,5 to 1 kill rate. So, it was a great use of materials. Yes, Germany lost and I'm glad they did. But the Tiger was a strategic succes.
All statements are true but several of the Sherman's virtues need to be considered. First of all it was easy to repair in the field. Maintenance was not a problem with the Sherman yet it was a major headache with the Tiger and to a lesser extent, the Panther. Germany's problems also involved logistics. They had so many vehicles that keeping an inventory of spare parts was a nightmare. The Sherman interchanged parts with its cousin the Tank Destroyer. Finally, we were shipping these tanks overseas and some of the design included how many could fit on a ship. We also had to fit the Sherman on Landing Crafts. So cut the Sherman some slack. For a medium tank it did the job, which is what really counts.
33:55 ''But he who does God's will is gonna live forever'' The Germans also thought they were doing God's will. ''God on our side'' Got mit uns is written on the belt buckle of every German soldier. I'm Canadian and served in Afghanistan, the Taliban I fought also thought they were doing God's will.
The M4 "Sherman" tank is the real star of this movie. America built almost 50,000 of them during World War II. Compared to the German tanks they came up against, especially the Panther and Tiger models, they had inferior armor and guns. A German saying popular among Tiger tank crews was, "A Tiger can beat 10 Shermans; the problem is, the Americans always have an 11th Sherman." One key advantage the Sherman had -- maybe a decisive advantage -- was that it was very mechanically reliable. Many German tank losses came when their less-reliable vehicles broke down and could not be fixed in the field, so they had to be abandoned.
That is the soldiers motto, as long as I have blood, bullets or both, I will be in the fight. You are never out of the fight, Essayons, Sappers lead the way!
this is why the "tombs for the unknown soldier " are so important, because unfortunately not all of the fallen have come home or had someone to miss them or even remember them , many on both sides still lay unclaimed in unmarked Graves . " here rests in Honored glory a __soldier known but to GOD"
I saw this movie in the Camp Schwab theater in Okinawa a day or two early, in Japan just days after leaving Afghanistan. It was a very surreal experience for all of us, honestly. One of my favorite movies of all time. (Edit for spelling.)
My favorite WWII film, because I appreciate the bleak realism. Especially in contrast to a lot of films which are balanced (imo) much too far in the other direction. Oh, and you were still looking great at the end of the reaction.
War is hell. That is why it should be reserved as a very last resort. "Ought to see what a man can do to another." is a brutally dark, but true statement. Always sue for peace.
8:05 lol, my buddie keeps telling I'm wasting my time watching these reaction videos, this is exactly why I watch these right here, thank you, good video.
@Centane - I was a U.S. military history minor during college focusing primarily on the Civil War and WW2. Doing so, I've watched hundreds of WW2 films, the one I've found to be the most interesting and the least talked about was actually a made for tv film starring David Schwimmer from 'Friends. If you can, I highly suggest you watch the 2001 film 'Uprising. Immediately after filming this movie, Schwimmer would star in Band of Brothers. 'Uprising revolves around the Warsaw Ghetto and the Jews fighting back for one month in 1943 when the orders for the ghetto's liquidation were announced. There is also a film staring Adrian Brody called the 'Pianist which similarly covers not just the true events of the ghetto uprising but that of the following Polish uprising.
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.
The real crap thing about this movie is that Fury is supposed to be a M4A3 (76) W with HVSS and that 76mm gub shouldve pen the Tiger 1's front armour like that version of the Sherman is made to kill Tigers and Panthers, it looks like they're just shooting HE rounds at the Tiger making dents, all Tiger commanders know that the Sherman tanks with a longer barrel and a muzzle break is an anti tank role then its his priority to take it out first then go for the 75mm Shermans, U.S tankers often trying to hide the long gun and its muzzle barrel by painting a fake barrel on the barrel and camo paint scheme the rest, Fury can knock out that Tiger 1 from where they would be ambushed like, they dont need to close the gap and hit it from the rear, also the Tiger commander made a big mistake to charge the enemy while they have the better advantage and they tried to shoot while on the move and the Tiger doesnt have a stabilizer like the Shermans do
A war movie that still has me scared for life, it's casualties of war, haven't seen that film in 20 years, but the feeling I got watching it, comes right away when I think of it. It's not WW2, but The Vietnam war, might not be the darkest movie, but I believe it's very much a true picture of war, show the true colours of war, it have made a big impact on me about humanity
16:56 Armies are very well divided into a strong structure, take a company, they get into s fight, they finish the fight, everyone in the company knows each other, they’ve been together since training, they will know when their friends are dead You can kind of get a grasp of it in band of brothers
Would love a reaction to ‘ the monuments men’ is a great an interesting film based off a true story one you’ll love a lot I think not all action packed and shows a side of the war I do t see very often on that they portray great on.
there are 2 types of stick grenades one fragmentation that explodes throws pieces of metal about the other a concussion grenade is a lethal weapon that uses a blast wave caused by the detonation of high-explosives to cause damage to people, structures, and vehicles. Unlike fragmentation grenades, concussion grenades use a massive and sudden change in air pressure to produce lethal effects by causing blast injuries.
War is a series of catastrophes followed by victory. - Georges Clemenceau It is well that war is so horrible else we should grow too fond of it. - Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Waterloo The only thing worse than a battle lost is a battle won. - Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Waterloo
I feel like the theme they were going for in this one is depicting war as an apocalyptic force, everyone in the war is in this limbo state between real life and being dead that eats away at their humanity more and more the longer they're stuck in it, until it decides that it's their turn to die, at which point there's nothing they can do anymore, it's their time. The unfortunate thing is that the final cut removed a lot of the character development that was intended to go into this, deleted scenes add a lot more understanding to the character and exactly how close all of them are to breaking and crumbling under the psychological weight of what they've gone through. The biggest one is that Brad Pitt's character (Don "Wardaddy" Collier), got those enormous burn scars on his back not from not from the war but a drunken car accident where he was trying to run away from police after getting in a stupid fight... and he got his little brother (who was named Norman), and his wife killed in the accident. He was given the option of going into the war instead of sitting in prison and jumped at it because he wanted to die. Except he kept not dying over the course of 3 years of war. (The Fury's crew keep mentioning fighting in North Africa, which the Americans joined in spring of 1942, and this is taking place in April 1945, only a couple of weeks at most before Hitler shoots himself and Germany surrenders.) You might notice he looks kind of angry at "Bible" every time Bible suggest they have any sort of divine protection on their side specifically because he wants to die in battle already and get it over with. There's more like that which got left out of the final product. Movie really needed to be about half an hour longer so it could keep stuff like that, or Grady struggling not to break down, or how wildly "Gordo" is drinking just to try to keep himself together and numb himself to what he's experienced.
Hello Centane, how was your day Sunday? The movie is emotional and exciting. I haven't seen this movie in a while and it made me remember some scenes that made me cry a lot and be emotional 😞 I liked your reaction video, You are adorable and you have good feelings 🥹💖
29:15 Anti-tank mine, took the track out. The anti-tank mines take a lot of pressure to trigger. They could’ve had extra track segments with the tank, but the broken bogie was sort of a death sentence. They can’t repair a bogie in the field.
17:23 dog tags. Every man gets 2. One gets taken, the other gets buried with him. The tags have personal info about them like where they live (the one he keeps on his body is there to identify him if his body ever gets dug up so he can be interned in proper military cemetery when the wars over) As for how they died, officers will ask witnesses what happened. Everyone in the same platoon of around 30 guys and most guys will know even more people from other platoons. (3 to 4 platoons make up a company of around a hundred. Most people know each other. When one guy dies it spreads quickly. So there are plenty of people to ask how it happened.) That’s how they keep track.
This is one of the best moavies i ever watched. That scene where they all are sitting in the tank enjoying their last moment with each other always gets me. You should definitely see the scenes they deleted from this movie idk y they deleted those scenes.
A war movie that's also good and dark is "Warsaw 1944". The people of Warsaw rose up to the Germans while the Soviet army approached the city. Instead of helping the Polish people in their struggle for life, the Russians just... waited... until nearly all of them were killed. The Russians hated the Polish people. It's a really good movie. Very much worth a review.❤
"Our tanks were worth four of theirs, but those Basterds always had five!" -German general discussing German vs American engineering during a World war. A great quote for what this movie!
Someone invades the homeland you fight. Doesn't matter who started it or why. Also doesn't mean that you have lose your soul and further beat down an already beaten enemy. Warrior who gave Norman a gift was a real one. Great movie.
WWII was literally kill or be killed. It was also a war mainly fought by boys between 17-21. All those boys killed, they never experienced a first kiss, never fell in love, never got married, never held their children. This is Memorial Day weekend. Keep in mind the reason why we commemorate this particular day.
I heard someone say that the German who let Norman go at the end of the movie represented Norman at the start of the film. A naive merciful boy ignorant to the realities of war. Also, if you want a more fun lighthearted movie you should watch Rush hour and Rush hour 2. Funniest action comedies ever.
I made a list of movies I think everyone should see a few years ago and this one easily made the Drama list. Drama 1. 12 Angry Men (1957) 2. Citizen Kane (1941) 3. A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) 4. Lincoln (2012) 5. To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) 6. Hamlet (1996) 7. Gone with the Wind (1939) 8. Fury (2014) 9. A Clockwork Orange (1971) 10. American Beauty (1999) 11. MacBeth (2015) 12. Crime and Punishment (1970) 13. Schindler’s List (1993)
The Darkest War Movie you can ever watch is a German one. "Stalingrad" from 1993. The English Subtitles are not everytime accurate, but sufficient. Of course, showing the German Perspective, you cant expect a Happy Ending... its really dark and depressing. And really Harsh.
The German Tigar tank is based on German tank doctrine that placed mobility, armor, and firepower upon everything else. American tank doctrine placed mass production and ease of construction at the top. The result is the Sherman tank while it was overproduced compared to the Tigar early versions main gun could not pen a Tigar tank thick armor. Fury was one of the modified late Sherman versions that carried the 76mm main gun that allowed it a fighting chance but had to fire at the Tigar's weak areas, like the sides and rear. The Tigar made use of the 88mm main gun that provided the Tigar a superior penetration shot of APHE rounds that not only can pen a Sherman with ease but also out range the Sherman main gun by over half the distance. This is how we saw the Tigar in the film got the jump on the tank colum in that scene with ease. Germany lost the tank wars was the following. 1. Most German tanks especially the Tigar were over-engineered to make production harder to produce to replace the ones lost during the war while the Allies with tanks like the Sherman outproduce them. 2. By this late in the war Germany lost the air war so Allies controlled the skies for CAS missions to support troops and Allied tanks. P47 was mainly used in this role for tank busting. 3. Consistent bombing of the German factories made parts and fuel harder to come by. Unlike the Sherman the Tigar and King Tigar tanks require a special blend mixture of fuel making it hard to supply. Troops may win battles but logistics win wars.
I was very surprised that you even attempted this movie, it's a tough one to watch, no need to ever do it again, matured you up more good girl, proud of you.
There’s a lot of things wrong with this tank fight. 1: The FURY Tank had a 76 mm gun which could kill a tiger from the engagement range they “hero” tanks get shot at. 2: it doesn’t take 4 Sherman tanks to kill a tiger. 3: the Sherman tanks can fire on the move, the tiger can’t.
The Tiger I Ausf.E used in the film is a real one captured in Tunisia, and was the 1st German tank to be captured by the Allies intact. It's currently on display at the Tank Museum in Bovington, UK, along with one of the OT-34 "Tigers" used in _Saving Private Ryan_ and others. The various types of shells used in M4A3E8 Shermans are AP (armor-piercing, for armored vehicles), HE (high explosive, for non-armored targets), HEAT (high explosive antitank, for lightly armored vehicles), WP "Willy Pete" (white phosphorus, for smoke generation and as an antipersonnel incendiary, now classified as a WMD), Smoke (for smokescreens), and APC (armor piercing capped, for heavily armored vehicles, tungsten cap and core for penetrating Tigers and Panthers. A bit too late to be used in WWII but was super effective against T-34/85s in Korea)
The thing that kills me the most with this movie is that if this took place mid to late April. Then all they had to do was hold on a few more weeks the the war would have been over for all 5 of them.
Hello Centane 🙋🏻♂️👋🏻 The movie is emotional and exciting. I haven't seen this movie in a while and it made me remember some scenes that made me cry a lot and be emotional 😞 I liked your reaction video, You are adorable and you have good feelings 🥹💖
The tank they had so much trouble destroying is tiger 131. it is an authentic tiger tank and the only one currently in existence that is still in running order although a project is underway in Australia i think to have a second original one restored to running order. Tiger 131 was captured in North-Africa by troops of the Sherwood foresters after a chruchill tank of the 48th royal tank regiment managed to jam the tigers turret with a shot that hit the turret ring. The 131 means it was assigned to 1st company, 3rd platoon, 1st (platoon command) tank. Tiger 131 is on display at the tank museum in Bovington, UK and is rolled out to the public for several Tiger days and Tankfest every year.
I saw this film in theater and on the big screen with the surround sound there was honestly nothing like it. It shows the gritty dark reality of war in a very realistic way. The sounds of the tanks shells ricocheting off into the distance got my heart pounding and I was seriously engrossed in the experience. I wish there were less superhero and fantasy movies and more films that were grounded in reality.
Want to see more videos from me? I post 2/3 times a week on my second channel 💓 youtube.com/@kamillaa
In case no one else will, suggest you watch the film World Trade Center. The tank driver plays an officer with Nicolas Cage. Emotional movie.
If you haven't watched the Vikings series with Travis Fimmel then I suggest you take a look into that. Frikin awesome
You should watch the 1965 Norwegian ww2 resistance movie . Heroes of Telemark... Norwegian resistance attempts to destroy heavy water production being made by the Nazis for a atom bomb.. Based on a true story.
13 Hours is well worth your time. Its as human as it sad, but the story needs to be heard by more people. Its also the first movie John Krasinski made a name for himself as more than a comedy actor.
hi centane im greeting from korea
FURY is real event but not WW2
actually its happening in korean war
american tank stuck in hostile territory
and became invincible fortress
i hear that story after this movie
at teater incredible story
The German soldier who spared Norman was the German version of him. Just some poor guy dragged into war that didn't want to kill. Ayer included him in the movie so you could see that not all German soldiers were bad.
Along with the hung up Germans who refused to fight, always those kind of nuances that elevate movies for me.
There were good people in both sides.
@@mackdonaldvivasmonroy4378 As it was put in The First Avenger - the first country the Nazis invaded was Germany. Many of the german soldiers were just men defending their homeland, drafted to die in a war they didn't want.
By this time in the war most of the Wermacht were people forced to fight. Some bad some good.
@xJ0LLYR0GERx yes but iirc they're fighting SS in the movie, not wermacht
This film is one World War II movie with an emphasis on the horrors of war and which minimizes the heroic aspects of being a soldier. In this film, war really is hell.
I contend that the emphasis in 'Fury' on the horrors of war doesn't minimize the heroic aspects of being a soldier; instead it throws into vivid understanding the heroic aspects of those soldiers that went into that horror voluntarily to destroy evil. As 'Bible' quoted 'Here am I, Send me."
There are no heroes in war, only monsters. If they were monsters voluntarily going in or made a monster by force matters little. Killing people for meaningless borders and the interest of rich cunts is disgusting and subhuman. Celebrating veterans is no different than celebrating rapists and child molesters.
In the immortal words of Benjamin Franklin Pierce. "War isn't hell. War is War and Hell is Hell and of the two War is a lot worse. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell but War is chalked full of them."
The ending was a very heroic deed. They all knew the likelihood of surviving were slim to none with 5 against 200 to 300. However, they were instructed to hold the crossroads to prevent a wave coming into a town full of doctors and supply trains. So, they puffed their chests up high and took out as many as they could thus lightening the load for the town up ahead.
Yeah. There aren't any heroes. Just the dead vs the survivors, and if you're a survivor it's all about whether you did what you could to help/protect your brothers (sisters too, now), and keep your humanity intact.
There's plenty of bravery, sacrifice and such in war, but speaking as someone who grew up in a military family around a bunch of vets, almost nobody comes out of war thinking of themselves as a hero. You see why with Norman at the end. Other people might say you're a hero, but that's not a label most vets will accept and call themselves. (Except maybe when particularly bitter/drunk/angry at the world.)
Soldiers wore 2 tags around their necks. They were both identical and contained the name serial number and religion of each man. Whenever a man was KIA (killed in action) one tag remained with the dead soldier and the other one was taken by a designated member of the unit. Soldiers whose bodies could be found were designated missing in action (MIA). Missing in action almost always meant the soldier was dead but there were no remains to bury. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is dedicated to those whose remains were found but no I.D. was possible.
In most combat zones, 1 is supposed to be around your neck, the other is supposed to be in your boot laces just in case you get umm... yeah.
@@S1D3W1ND3R015actually I’m pretty sure it is two around your neck, and one in your boot lace
But I’m also sure they have identification slips in their pockets
And let me not forget, I’m not sure, but I think a they also have blood type on the dog tags as well.
@@JulianLopez-mh6be I've only been given two at a time. Granted I'm not combat arms, just support so maybe its different for them. All I know is definitely one in your boot in case you get blown up.
In my country we have just one tag with two identical sides. If you fall in combat it is snapped in half.
@@S1D3W1ND3R015 That's not how we rolled in the Army back in the 90s.
Brad pitts character is based off a real “war daddy” his name was Layafette G Pool. He was from Texas, and managed to Americas top tank ace during the war.
Layafette Pool managed to kill 12 tanks, and a ton of armored vehicles all in the span of 81 days.
Michael Wittmann kill 138 tanks. No movie about him.
@@PropperNaughtyGeezer because he was a full blown SS Nazi member, and died in Normandy by allied forces. Unlike Lafayette where he actually lived lol.
Making a movie about a Waffen SS member might not go so well especially in places like Germany lol.
@@PropperNaughtyGeezerbc he was an actual nazi SS, find me a non nazi german ace n ill make a movie bout him
The makers of this film clearly didn't give a damn about actual events. The stupid ending is proof of that. A broken down Sherman against a reinforced Waffen SS company. Give me a freaking break.
“How did they have overview of everyone who passed away?” You may notice in war movies that soldiers are given a set of dogtags. The idea is if you are killed, one of the dogtags stays with the body, so it can be identified and buried at an appropriate time. The commander will normally take the spare dog tag and put it with all the other dog tags. He’s collected from all the dead soldiers to help him keep track of who he has lost. On these dogtags, it has your name, serial number and your religion and your blood type. Your serial number is unique to only you so if your have a common name like “John Smith” they are able to tell you apart, they put your religion on there, so they know what kind of funeral to give you, they put your blood type on there in case your are only wounded and need blood. This was obviously not a full proof system as many bodies were never found which is why we have a number of people in the wars listed as missing in action..
Exactly! I know of the dogtags, but I asked about those that weren't found 😅 Do they just guess because they didn't know where people were? And has it been an incident where a family has been told someone was dead, then later they show up years later?
@@Centane I remember reading there were quite a few of such incidents. But the only 1 that I could remember is the Niland brothers, the real life brothers that the Ryan brothers from Saving Private Ryan (1998) is based off. At a time, 3 brothers have been killed, so the Army wanted to bring back the last brother home. But in reality, 1 of the 3 brothers had actually survived. He was an aircrew, his plane was shot down, Army thought he was dead, but he survived and was held as a prisoner of war (POW) and the Army discovered that he's still alive only after the war ended.
People nitpick over such frivolous little things in this movie and miss the whole reality of the brutality it captures of real war. Especially from that era. Fury is a great movie.
The last minutes of the movie is kinda shitty though
@@germanstormtrooper2298 True, as is Saving Private Ryan. Here you have a Tiger tank (which was mostly given to experienced commanders) just rushing against three tanks instead of picking them off from distance. Plus SS soldiers just running to the tank to get killed. In SPS german armor drives without hesitation through narrow streets, a perfect place for ambush. Still great movies tho.
Just because people nitpick doesn't mean other things are missed. Surely you don't require everybody to praise the exact same things that everybody else is praising before they're allowed to offer their critique. LMAO
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400acting as if late war german tactics weren't rushed and garbage with all the meth they got flowing through them
@@tripwire3992 The tactics didn't change and meth wasn't as prevalent as people would have you believe (allies did amphetamines btw, mainly bomber crews) - more likely explanation is lack of experience of german commander or overconfidence in his armor
BTW, there was a real "War Daddy" and a real Sherman tank named "Fury". I saw a documentary about tanks and the Sherman on display was named Fury. Sgt. Lafayette "War Daddy" Poole was a real person who survived the war and was credited with more enemy tanks destroyed than just about anyone else.
Poole had 12 confirmed tank kills and 258 armored vehicle kills. there are alot of germans way highee then him, kurt knispel had 168 confirmed and 195 unconfirmed.
I only know of him from World of Tanks' "Poole's Medal"

@@danielcadwell9812poole was our (american) best tanker of ww2 for sure. look up fat electrician best tanker of ww2 youll see it.
Good to know.
I love Brad Pitt's line when they are in the apartment and the kids go into the bedroom. "They are young and they are alive". The other woman completely understands that any of them can die at any second. Turns out he was correct, if only for a few moments longer.
They track the dead pretty much the same way we do in regular society (People who know you report you dead) with a few differences. First their unit leader keeps a head count and will report a soldier Killed In Action (KIA) or if they do not know what happened, they report them Missing In Action (MIA). After a battle there are details formed that collect the dog tags off the dead. Each soldier has two tags, one is left with the body so the body collectors can identify them later and the second goes to command so they can report them dead and request a replacement.
The army did struggle to identify every body and bring them home to American soil to be buried. A lot of bodies went unidentified and many also remained in Europe for decades before being identified by DNA and brought home.
Kind of fitting this was posted right after I got back from a trip to the normandy coast.
I always read and watch about ww2, you see a lot of movies about it.
But seeing in person the beaches they landed on. What they had to overcome and fight through.
Just gives it a whole different feeling to it all.
“Ideals are peaceful, history is violent” idky but I love this line so much
This movie and Hacksaw Ridge are two of the most brutal movies I've ever seen. I have so much respect for anyone that would go to war for their country, not knowing if you would make it back home.
Check out 'Come and See'. Probably the most depressing WW2 movie I've ever seen.
I suggest 2 war films directed by Clint Eastwood: FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS and LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA. IWO JIMA in particular is a must see.
And to watch one without the other will not give the full story.
The NCO leading the infantry into the German town was played by Eastwood's son, Scott
There is an old WWII war movie well worth watching called "To Hell and Back". The main character is the most highly decorated American service member of that war, Audie Murphy and the character is played by...Audie Murphy. He was perhaps the most unlikely of volunteers to earn such a distinction. Amazing story.
Why unlikely?

There’s a deleted scene called “nervous soldier” from what I can gather, I think it’s supposed to have fit in just after the Tiger Tank scene. It’s an acting MASTERCLASS from Jon Bernthal.
When you're ready for another great war genre movie check out "Platoon" starring Charlie Sheen and Willem Defoe, among others. A young Johnny Depp is in it too. This is a Vietnam war classic. At times very dark but extremely well done.
I think a WW2 that you really must see is "Das Boot" from 1981. It was a big Hit all around the World. It's one of the, if not the best, Sub Marine Movies ever made.
The horrific losses they talk about at the start of the movie were MILD in comparison to other armed forces in the second world war. the US Armored force lost something like 3% of their soldiers (around 1400 for the entire war). Compared to a regular infantry, which had had a 18% KIA rate, being inside a tank was one of the safest places to be on the frontline. The Sherman tank was good. Reliable, not as weakly armored as one might think (sloping helps!) Sure it didn't have the fire power of the German tanks that were primarily designed to fight on the wide open steppes of the eastern front, but Fury, being a 76 Sherman, should still have been able to punch right through the front of that Tiger at that range. And they were, at least at that stage of the war, very easy to get out of, had wet ammo stowage, and contrary to popular belief, didn't burn more than any other tank.
The kd of shermans vs tiger tanks was around 1, whoever spotted the other tank first usually won
@@airsoftpopcorn Since the landing in Normandy the Americans fought Tigers three or four times:
1. Shermans won
2. Pershing lost
3. Tigers were being unloaded from a train.
Fourth one is unconfirmed.
The British fought them more often but with 17-pounder guns their kd was as you've said around 1:1.
"didn't burn more than any other tank" - Early Shermans with dry stowage burned more or less ass often as other knocked-out tanks (60%-80%). Those with wet stowage almost didn't burn by comparison (5%-15% burded).
Great reaction. The Tiger tank (the German tank that destroyed 3 tanks of Don's platoon) was a real Tiger tank. The production company borrowed it from a museum in Britain. They needed to be careful with the usage of the tank during filming as it is/was the last operational Tiger tank if I'm not mistaken. Yes those Tiger tanks are monstrous. But they could not be produced in massive numbers compared to American tanks. Just like few other war movies, this one also shows the true horrors and twisted psychological impact it has on the troops. I believe they took this inspiration from Saving Private Ryan but I could be wrong for this. There are more good war movies out there, but right now u might wanna take a break from war movies.
The tiger is Tiger 131
The tiger tank battle is terrible. The 76mm on the sherman would have penetrated the front of the tiger. The tiger would always prioritize the 76 sherman over the 75 shermans. Lastly, the tiger tank would never move towards the shermans.
@@airsoftpopcorn dont forget that tiger commander manuals also stated to shoot the front tank in the column, them the last to cause maximum confusion, fury was at the front, so had 100% priority
@@thestrategistbrit also, experienced german tankers at the time knew to always prioritize the m4 sherman 76 or sherman vc before engaging 75mm shermans. This is because they knew that the 75mm sherman was not nearly as big a threat, so they needed to take out the highest threat first.
@airsoftpopcorn
Without HVAP even the 76mm had to get within 300 yards to pen a Tiger frontally. Tiger I had superb nickel steel of 265 Brinell Hardness, which gave it a much more effective thickness than its paper thickness, as did the slight angling of the plates (24 degrees on the lower front). And then if the Tiger is standing oblique like here it's armour gets even thicker.
Fury isn't getting through that except at close range.
A lot of people don't know this but the events in the entire movie happen within a 24-hour period. This was just 1 day on the front.
A wise man once said "The saddest part about winning a war, is watching the enemy slowly get younger"
@17:26 Soldiers traditionally wore ID called Dog Tags that had their name, DOB, SSN, and religion on them. They would keep one around their neck and one tied between their bootlace to identify their body.
Brad Pitt's character stayed because that was his order. They coulda all ran away, but were given orders to guard the crossroads. Their action delayed the German battalion and gave the rest of the division time to reorganize and advance in order. That's why the one guy said, "you're heroes."
My friend was a Military Advisor for this film and an extra. The end of the film where the Germans are heading towards the Tank and crew, he's one of those Germans. The darkness of this film is pretty unmatched (except for maybe The Pacific). My Grandfather served with the British Royal Armoured Corps, thankfully wasn't one of the MANY who were killed inside those tin cans full of live ammunition. Tankies were a different breed. Great film, great reaction 😊
The us tanks were not inferior to german tanks during ww2, in fact, the kd of us tanks vs german tanks was about even
Unmatched? Perhaps for American cinema. Russian and Soviet cinema is darker, because the Eastern Front was far worse. Watch "Come and See."
Yeap, i said that you seem to LOVE good story telling movies after i saw your reaction on 300, and recommended Fury for you to react after it. I now highly recommend Troy, American Sniper, Rush (2013) and Black Hawk Down you to react, they are all good story telling movies too. Enjoy!
A cut part of the movie is Wardaddy’s backstory he got into a bar fight and while on the run crashes his truck with his brother Norman and Girlfriend killing them both and he got sentenced military service instead of jail so that’s why he felt connected to Norman and didn’t care about surviving the war
Appreciate the reaction! Your thought about oversight of the dead is really interesting. Reminded me of a wild true story.
I had a distant great cousin who fought as a Marine in the Pacific theater of ww2. No one ever heard from him or knew of his well-being. Then he turned up out of nowhere in 1977. He was working as a logger up and down the west coast of the US. I don't remember what was said about why he didn't come back to the family (he was not a father or married at the time anyway), but it's also pretty clear he found peace being a logger in nature after he saw what he saw. No one ever held a grudge about it. How could you tbh...Man was a war hero. Greatest generation 💯
17:38 To answer your question: Each soldier wore a set of two Identifying metal plates, stamped with their name and some basic information. These were referred to as "Dog Tags". They were worn on a chain around the neck. After a battle, the bodies would be collected and one of those tags would be sent up the chain to command, while the remaining tag was left on the body for identification purposes.
The information on those dog tags would be compiled in a report that was sent back to the USA in the form of lists noting the killed, wounded, or missing. It was from this information that the State Department would notify families when a soldier had fallen in battle.
The Tiger and King Tiger tanks were a menace but luckily they were not produced in large numbers , used way to much fuel and were notorious for breaking down.
My favorite part from reactions of this film is the scene of the dead guys face in the tank and the look of horror frozen in it. It truly shows the horror of war
Little details like "Gyros on" when fighting the tiger for the Sherman gun stabilizers is amazing. I love this movie.
The reason the tank crew had to walk away from everybody and flipped out of it was because he just had to get it out of his system because realizing you're the one tank that makes it back out of all your entire unit is pretty heartbreaking and even these tough guys understand that Loss. It's not just a battle but when they lose other guys it is personal because these guys are their friends and their buddies which is why he told that guy who had been in 8 weeks not to get too close to anyone... They would lose their friends and it would break their hearts and a few of them were so close that one or two every now and then would actually lose their minds and have to be taken off the battlefield to go to the hospital for a while and most of them were okay after they got off the battlefield for a while.. the one guy in band of Brothers is a good example because he was a captain but he flipped out when he saw his best friend blown up right in front of him.. after that he went from being an excellent leader to just not being able to speak and he was sent to a hospital for 2 and 1/2 to 3 months and then he was back with the guys playing baseball after World War II ended.
That was band of Brothers..
The thing is these people just get so close to the ones they're working with and to realize you've just lost 100 or more men and you're the only ones left gives a bit of survivor's guilt
This movie breaksmy heart the brother hood of fear and death is one that can never be forgotten that face that got you threw and the lifes you hold so sacred
A rare thing about this movie is i think it is about the only one that features a real authentic Tiger tank. The tank in the movie was borrowed from the Bovington tank museum.
There is another video "the tiger that wouldnt die". This tells of a Tiger that fought in a battle in Russia. The tank was in battle for 6 hours and took a battering. It still managed to drive itself back 60km to safety. It was then that the counted up the hits. The tank was hit 252 times.
So Fury 2 will have a Tiger as the hero tank?
Nice one Kamilla your empathy is off the chart, it would have been nice for Norman and the girl to survive the war together but this movie wasn't going to allow that ☹🥰
To answer your question about figuring out who passed away in a time of war, all soldiers are issued dog tags. If those tags are collected and sent back to command, the military can confrim the death and notify the family. A lot of times soldiers would put their tags on 2 different spots, incase a part of the soldier was unable to be found.

Armored cavalry! Another good movie that goes into how the army switched from horses to Armored vehicles is called "In pursuit of honor" (1995)
There is a deleted scene that explains exactly why Grady is so messed up. There's also one that explains the burns on War Daddy's back and why he is do connected to Norman.
i didn't know that there a scene explain why War daddy took Norman under his wing or care for him,

@@MZAH1986 thats part of the reason but the main reason is even more personal. Even explains the scars
5 people savings the lives of hundreds maybe even thousands by sacrificing themselves to protect the supply chain. It's my favorite story of sacrifice. And the pan-out camera angle at the end is just ugh *chefs kiss* so emotion provoking.
I have been told by several WWII tank crew that this movie gives them flashbacks. It is that accurate.
Kamilla, great movie and reaction. For your own enjoyment, watch the deleted scenes for this movie. After seeing them I thought, why did they leave these scenes out, they add so much to the story. Especially the back story about Don and how he received his burns.
This was an actual Tiger Tank used in this movie. Tigers were gas guslars, something like 1/2 mile to the gallon, but would made US tanks look like pea shooters.
Yes Tigers used a lot of fuel, but they had a huge fuel tank. Their range was about the same as the Sherman. They used about 75% more fuel than the Sherman, but they also weight 75% more. Their kill rate was 11.5 to 1, so totally worth it.
Less than 1400 were made. I would love to see one up close. I think Britain has the one used in movie in a museum
@@janklaassen6404
@@janklaassen6404well totally worth it, other than they ran out of materials making them and couldn’t field nearly as many. 🤷♂️
@@joekellyou The same counts for materials. 75% heavier, so 75% more materials. But 11,5 to 1 kill rate. So, it was a great use of materials.
Yes, Germany lost and I'm glad they did. But the Tiger was a strategic succes.
All statements are true but several of the Sherman's virtues need to be considered. First of all it was easy to repair in the field. Maintenance was not a problem with the Sherman yet it was a major headache with the Tiger and to a lesser extent, the Panther. Germany's problems also involved logistics. They had so many vehicles that keeping an inventory of spare parts was a nightmare. The Sherman interchanged parts with its cousin the Tank Destroyer. Finally, we were shipping these tanks overseas and some of the design included how many could fit on a ship. We also had to fit the Sherman on Landing Crafts. So cut the Sherman some slack. For a medium tank it did the job, which is what really counts.
33:55 ''But he who does God's will is gonna live forever'' The Germans also thought they were doing God's will. ''God on our side'' Got mit uns is written on the belt buckle of every German soldier. I'm Canadian and served in Afghanistan, the Taliban I fought also thought they were doing God's will.
You seriously need to see.... "Generation War"! It's from the German point of view!
Or a very strong movie in German called "Downfall"!!
The M4 "Sherman" tank is the real star of this movie.
America built almost 50,000 of them during World War II.
Compared to the German tanks they came up against, especially the Panther and Tiger models, they had inferior armor and guns. A German saying popular among Tiger tank crews was,
"A Tiger can beat 10 Shermans; the problem is, the Americans always have an 11th Sherman."
One key advantage the Sherman had -- maybe a decisive advantage -- was that it was very mechanically reliable. Many German tank losses came when their less-reliable vehicles broke down and could not be fixed in the field, so they had to be abandoned.
"wait until you see it"
"what?"
"what a man can do to another man"
those words stick with me
That is the soldiers motto, as long as I have blood, bullets or both, I will be in the fight. You are never out of the fight, Essayons, Sappers lead the way!
this is why the "tombs for the unknown soldier " are so important, because unfortunately not all of the fallen have come home or had someone to miss them or even remember them , many on both sides still lay unclaimed in unmarked Graves . " here rests in Honored glory a __soldier known but to GOD"
I saw this movie in the Camp Schwab theater in Okinawa a day or two early, in Japan just days after leaving Afghanistan. It was a very surreal experience for all of us, honestly. One of my favorite movies of all time.
(Edit for spelling.)
My favorite WWII film, because I appreciate the bleak realism. Especially in contrast to a lot of films which are balanced (imo) much too far in the other direction. Oh, and you were still looking great at the end of the reaction.
I just hate how inaccurate the tank battle was
War is hell. That is why it should be reserved as a very last resort. "Ought to see what a man can do to another." is a brutally dark, but true statement. Always sue for peace.
8:05 lol, my buddie keeps telling I'm wasting my time watching these reaction videos, this is exactly why I watch these right here, thank you, good video.
@Centane - I was a U.S. military history minor during college focusing primarily on the Civil War and WW2. Doing so, I've watched hundreds of WW2 films, the one I've found to be the most interesting and the least talked about was actually a made for tv film starring David Schwimmer from 'Friends. If you can, I highly suggest you watch the 2001 film 'Uprising. Immediately after filming this movie, Schwimmer would star in Band of Brothers. 'Uprising revolves around the Warsaw Ghetto and the Jews fighting back for one month in 1943 when the orders for the ghetto's liquidation were announced. There is also a film staring Adrian Brody called the 'Pianist which similarly covers not just the true events of the ghetto uprising but that of the following Polish uprising.

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.
The real crap thing about this movie is that Fury is supposed to be a M4A3 (76) W with HVSS and that 76mm gub shouldve pen the Tiger 1's front armour like that version of the Sherman is made to kill Tigers and Panthers, it looks like they're just shooting HE rounds at the Tiger making dents, all Tiger commanders know that the Sherman tanks with a longer barrel and a muzzle break is an anti tank role then its his priority to take it out first then go for the 75mm Shermans, U.S tankers often trying to hide the long gun and its muzzle barrel by painting a fake barrel on the barrel and camo paint scheme the rest, Fury can knock out that Tiger 1 from where they would be ambushed like, they dont need to close the gap and hit it from the rear, also the Tiger commander made a big mistake to charge the enemy while they have the better advantage and they tried to shoot while on the move and the Tiger doesnt have a stabilizer like the Shermans do
A war movie that still has me scared for life, it's casualties of war, haven't seen that film in 20 years, but the feeling I got watching it, comes right away when I think of it.
It's not WW2, but The Vietnam war, might not be the darkest movie, but I believe it's very much a true picture of war, show the true colours of war, it have made a big impact on me about humanity
16:56 Armies are very well divided into a strong structure, take a company, they get into s fight, they finish the fight, everyone in the company knows each other, they’ve been together since training, they will know when their friends are dead
You can kind of get a grasp of it in band of brothers
Would love a reaction to ‘ the monuments men’ is a great an interesting film based off a true story one you’ll love a lot I think not all action packed and shows a side of the war I do t see very often on that they portray great on.
there are 2 types of stick grenades one fragmentation that explodes throws pieces of metal about the other a concussion grenade is a lethal weapon that uses a blast wave caused by the detonation of high-explosives to cause damage to people, structures, and vehicles. Unlike fragmentation grenades, concussion grenades use a massive and sudden change in air pressure to produce lethal effects by causing blast injuries.
One of the best war movies imo was the Great Escape.
War is a series of catastrophes followed by victory. - Georges Clemenceau
It is well that war is so horrible else we should grow too fond of it. - Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Waterloo
The only thing worse than a battle lost is a battle won. - Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Waterloo
"How are they able to keep track of all the people who passed away?" This is the forbidden question lol 🤣
If all these 'reaction' videos were indeed genuine, no RUclipsr would be so accurate in foreshadowing practically every scene in the movies.
I feel like the theme they were going for in this one is depicting war as an apocalyptic force, everyone in the war is in this limbo state between real life and being dead that eats away at their humanity more and more the longer they're stuck in it, until it decides that it's their turn to die, at which point there's nothing they can do anymore, it's their time.
The unfortunate thing is that the final cut removed a lot of the character development that was intended to go into this, deleted scenes add a lot more understanding to the character and exactly how close all of them are to breaking and crumbling under the psychological weight of what they've gone through.
The biggest one is that Brad Pitt's character (Don "Wardaddy" Collier), got those enormous burn scars on his back not from not from the war but a drunken car accident where he was trying to run away from police after getting in a stupid fight... and he got his little brother (who was named Norman), and his wife killed in the accident. He was given the option of going into the war instead of sitting in prison and jumped at it because he wanted to die. Except he kept not dying over the course of 3 years of war. (The Fury's crew keep mentioning fighting in North Africa, which the Americans joined in spring of 1942, and this is taking place in April 1945, only a couple of weeks at most before Hitler shoots himself and Germany surrenders.) You might notice he looks kind of angry at "Bible" every time Bible suggest they have any sort of divine protection on their side specifically because he wants to die in battle already and get it over with.
There's more like that which got left out of the final product. Movie really needed to be about half an hour longer so it could keep stuff like that, or Grady struggling not to break down, or how wildly "Gordo" is drinking just to try to keep himself together and numb himself to what he's experienced.
Hello Centane, how was your day Sunday?
The movie is emotional and exciting. I haven't seen this movie in a while and it made me remember some scenes that made me cry a lot and be emotional 😞
I liked your reaction video, You are adorable and you have good feelings 🥹💖
This movie is a great movie it shows that war is ugly and it’s something us innocent will hopefully never know
The guy that lets him live notice his clean shiny uniform and young face..he is a Norman ...fresh to the war..hasn't killed
29:15
Anti-tank mine, took the track out. The anti-tank mines take a lot of pressure to trigger. They could’ve had extra track segments with the tank, but the broken bogie was sort of a death sentence. They can’t repair a bogie in the field.
Watching clone wars in the correct order will make it a lot easier to keep track of the story. It makes zero sense otherwise.
17:23 dog tags. Every man gets 2. One gets taken, the other gets buried with him. The tags have personal info about them like where they live (the one he keeps on his body is there to identify him if his body ever gets dug up so he can be interned in proper military cemetery when the wars over) As for how they died, officers will ask witnesses what happened. Everyone in the same platoon of around 30 guys and most guys will know even more people from other platoons. (3 to 4 platoons make up a company of around a hundred. Most people know each other. When one guy dies it spreads quickly. So there are plenty of people to ask how it happened.)
That’s how they keep track.
This is one of the best moavies i ever watched. That scene where they all are sitting in the tank enjoying their last moment with each other always gets me. You should definitely see the scenes they deleted from this movie idk y they deleted those scenes.
A war movie that's also good and dark is "Warsaw 1944". The people of Warsaw rose up to the Germans while the Soviet army approached the city. Instead of helping the Polish people in their struggle for life, the Russians just... waited... until nearly all of them were killed. The Russians hated the Polish people.
It's a really good movie. Very much worth a review.❤
"Our tanks were worth four of theirs, but those Basterds always had five!" -German general discussing German vs American engineering during a World war. A great quote for what this movie!
Someone invades the homeland you fight. Doesn't matter who started it or why. Also doesn't mean that you have lose your soul and further beat down an already beaten enemy. Warrior who gave Norman a gift was a real one. Great movie.
The darkest feature film regarding WW2 you will ever experience is Come and See. It will make every other WW2 movie look like a kid's movie
As soon as I saw your heart flutter for Jon Bernthal, I knew there would be tears.
WWII was literally kill or be killed. It was also a war mainly fought by boys between 17-21.
All those boys killed, they never experienced a first kiss, never fell in love, never got married, never held their children.
This is Memorial Day weekend. Keep in mind the reason why we commemorate this particular day.
I heard someone say that the German who let Norman go at the end of the movie represented Norman at the start of the film. A naive merciful boy ignorant to the realities of war.
Also, if you want a more fun lighthearted movie you should watch Rush hour and Rush hour 2. Funniest action comedies ever.
He’s not losing it. He’s giving himself that simple moment to grieve and move on. That’s the burden of leadership.
I made a list of movies I think everyone should see a few years ago and this one easily made the Drama list.
Drama
1. 12 Angry Men (1957)
2. Citizen Kane (1941)
3. A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)
4. Lincoln (2012)
5. To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
6. Hamlet (1996)
7. Gone with the Wind (1939)
8. Fury (2014)
9. A Clockwork Orange (1971)
10. American Beauty (1999)
11. MacBeth (2015)
12. Crime and Punishment (1970)
13. Schindler’s List (1993)
The Darkest War Movie you can ever watch is a German one. "Stalingrad" from 1993. The English Subtitles are not everytime accurate, but sufficient. Of course, showing the German Perspective, you cant expect a Happy Ending... its really dark and depressing. And really Harsh.
The German Tigar tank is based on German tank doctrine that placed mobility, armor, and firepower upon everything else. American tank doctrine placed mass production and ease of construction at the top.
The result is the Sherman tank while it was overproduced compared to the Tigar early versions main gun could not pen a Tigar tank thick armor. Fury was one of the modified late Sherman versions that carried the 76mm main gun that allowed it a fighting chance but had to fire at the Tigar's weak areas, like the sides and rear. The Tigar made use of the 88mm main gun that provided the Tigar a superior penetration shot of APHE rounds that not only can pen a Sherman with ease but also out range the Sherman main gun by over half the distance. This is how we saw the Tigar in the film got the jump on the tank colum in that scene with ease.
Germany lost the tank wars was the following.
1. Most German tanks especially the Tigar were over-engineered to make production harder to produce to replace the ones lost during the war while the Allies with tanks like the Sherman outproduce them.
2. By this late in the war Germany lost the air war so Allies controlled the skies for CAS missions to support troops and Allied tanks. P47 was mainly used in this role for tank busting.
3. Consistent bombing of the German factories made parts and fuel harder to come by. Unlike the Sherman the Tigar and King Tigar tanks require a special blend mixture of fuel making it hard to supply.
Troops may win battles but logistics win wars.
I was very surprised that you even attempted this movie, it's a tough one to watch, no need to ever do it again, matured you up more good girl, proud of you.
Props for reacting to this, I know it mist have not been an easy watch
bernthall, lebouf, pitt, wtf, they're all so good in this.
There’s a lot of things wrong with this tank fight.
1: The FURY Tank had a 76 mm gun which could kill a tiger from the engagement range they “hero” tanks get shot at.
2: it doesn’t take 4 Sherman tanks to kill a tiger.
3: the Sherman tanks can fire on the move, the tiger can’t.
i love this movie! one of my favs and im glad you’re reacting to it
The Tiger I Ausf.E used in the film is a real one captured in Tunisia, and was the 1st German tank to be captured by the Allies intact. It's currently on display at the Tank Museum in Bovington, UK, along with one of the OT-34 "Tigers" used in _Saving Private Ryan_ and others.
The various types of shells used in M4A3E8 Shermans are AP (armor-piercing, for armored vehicles), HE (high explosive, for non-armored targets), HEAT (high explosive antitank, for lightly armored vehicles), WP "Willy Pete" (white phosphorus, for smoke generation and as an antipersonnel incendiary, now classified as a WMD), Smoke (for smokescreens), and APC (armor piercing capped, for heavily armored vehicles, tungsten cap and core for penetrating Tigers and Panthers. A bit too late to be used in WWII but was super effective against T-34/85s in Korea)
21:43 “its gonna be you baby boy” well you arent wrong 😂
😭😭
The thing that kills me the most with this movie is that if this took place mid to late April. Then all they had to do was hold on a few more weeks the the war would have been over for all 5 of them.
They did their part in ending the war, if they hadn't held the crossroads it would have gone on longer and more men would have died
Hello Centane 🙋🏻♂️👋🏻

The tank they had so much trouble destroying is tiger 131. it is an authentic tiger tank and the only one currently in existence that is still in running order although a project is underway in Australia i think to have a second original one restored to running order. Tiger 131 was captured in North-Africa by troops of the Sherwood foresters after a chruchill tank of the 48th royal tank regiment managed to jam the tigers turret with a shot that hit the turret ring. The 131 means it was assigned to 1st company, 3rd platoon, 1st (platoon command) tank. Tiger 131 is on display at the tank museum in Bovington, UK and is rolled out to the public for several Tiger days and Tankfest every year.
@MJ0383 the 2 pounder would have not been able to even do that so you are correct
War is fucked so you’re outro was wonderful. Missing “we were soldiers”. That was my unit. You did great.
Great movie, men like this died for our freedom. Now look at us. It's a disgrace to our fallen heros.
I saw this film in theater and on the big screen with the surround sound there was honestly nothing like it. It shows the gritty dark reality of war in a very realistic way. The sounds of the tanks shells ricocheting off into the distance got my heart pounding and I was seriously engrossed in the experience. I wish there were less superhero and fantasy movies and more films that were grounded in reality.
I wish this movie was actually grounded in reality, the tank battle was terrible
27:35 Sherman Tank: Take that! Tiger Tank: That tickled.
love these videos i think its weird that im watching someone watch a movie ive already seen but they still slap so keep doing your thing
As a tank commander, you’re responsible for the men of your tank, you can’t show fear, because if you panic in battle, your crew will panic.
