That german soldier looking under the tank with the flashlight at norman was a young sodlier like norman is and thats why he didnt say anything and walked away and spared norman.
Awesome reaction guys !! The part where bible quotes the scripture “here am i, send me!” gets me choked up everytime. Anywho again great reaction and much love from across the pond 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
You two are absolutely awesome, I really like watching y’all’s reactions. Y’all seem like really good people. To the husband, you seem like a really good man & your wife is absolutely gorgeous. Gorgeous, I tell ya. So, Congratulations on locking her down forever, well done, good sir. Well done.
Fury is loosely based on the very real Leopold "War Daddy" Pool. Sgt. Pool was called The Ace of Aces among Tank Commanders. Everyone in his tank crew had a war nickname. His tank was named "In the Mood". He and his crew are credited with taking out 12 tanks and 258 armored carriers in an 80 day period. Pool, though severely injured survived the war. The tank named Fury is a real tank on loan from the Bovington Museum.
There is a slight difference between the Fury tank and the actual tanks the US used in Europe in WW2...the US tanks had gasoline engines, while the Fury tank is diesel powered...supposedly it is an old Lend Lease tank that was sent to the Soviets. In terms of exact models, the Fury tank is an M4A2E8 (76W) HVSS, while the American version "Easy Eight" would be the M4A3E8(76W)HVSS. The best tank the real War Daddy ever got to command was the M4A1(76W). Sorry if you already knew all that. 👍
More like the commander you should avoid at all cost if you actually want to survive. He made horrible tactical decisions, both against the Tiger and not least the final battle.
@@TTTT-oc4eb maybe, but he made the hard decision to put himself in the one of fire to save more lives. He fought the tiger rather than letting it kill more tanks and men, and he fought the SS Battalion to save hundreds or thousands of men down the road. He did his duty, and he was a good commander who put the lives of others above his own.
@@RAPTOR18B The only thing that makes him look somewhat OKish, is that the filmmakers made the Germans even dumber than him. In reality that lone, immobile, unsupported Sherman would have held up that German column for exactly 5 minutes before being blown up by multiple Panzerfausts. One experienced tank crew sacrified for nothing.
@@TTTT-oc4eb For all we know the SS unit could have been Hitler Youth, and green. At that stage everyone who could hold a gun was thrown into Hitler's last stand. Does anyone think that with the US controlling the airspace there would be a long "soft target" line of troops marching on a road into battle singing if they had any actual experience??That was a real tipoff.
@ ever hear of the Real war daddy Lafayette green pool? Yeah go look him up and then come back and talk about what a Lone Sherman can do. The movie was based on Pool
The Tiger towards the end is a real one, Tiger 131 out of Bovington (the museum), it was captured in North Africa in WW2 by the British. It’s the only running, original, Tiger on the planet, there’s some excellent videos on how they used it to make the film.
Excellent. No doubt he went through Hell. My grandfather, who died before I was born, was at Verdun in 1916. His 4 sons fought in various places against the Soviet Union in WWII. One of them was at Stalingrad. Luckily all of them returned.
Dear ones! It's really a great pleasure to accompany you both in the Reaction - emotional involvement and your correct and important comments and analyses, simply great! Thank you from Germany!!!
I get emotional watching this and other WW2 films relating it to hearing the stories from my grandfathers before they passed about their time in the war. The stories my grandfather told me could easily be made into a movie on par with fury. You are correct there is a reason we refer to their generation as the greatest generation
This coming Monday we celebrate Veterans Day. I am in love with WW2, and appreciate all our soldiers and their sacrifices for my country, the greatest, freest, most power country in human history. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 God bless America! And thank you all for such a great video.
Well, what can I say? I sound like a broken record in this digital age, yet another good reaction to a good movie. You two are so genuine, I feel, and can _empathize_ wonderfully. I agree this is a good film, I love the actors in it. Tis true that war films can be tough to watch, they often are, especially those done well and that's all I'll say about that. Until we _'meet'_ again, I wish you both the best. _Edit: typo, spell check strikes again, turned empathize into emphasize._
@@Reactsandgames of course. yall have provided an authentic reaction and that means alot! btw check out we were soldiers if u havent. fantastic movie laughs and crys
When Wardaddy made the kid shoot the germen, they captured it was mercy. He was taken in a US Uniform over his own making him a spy and subject to execution and so it was going to be fast or slow, but it was inevitable that man was dead as soon as he put that coat on over his own uniform.
Not really the issue of being a spy is what would have led to a death sentence. According to the Geneva Convention a soldier wearing the enemy's uniform could be executed because to wear another's uniform could lead to chaos on the battlefield and cause unnecessary deaths.
@@mikealvarez2322 Might have been the case before the SS used the tactic during the Bulge offensive purposefully and the order was given to all troops to shoot them as Spy's. My Grandfather was a Pilot flying a B-17 and he kept that memo and the poster that showed SS units trained to infiltrate American lines and cause havoc. It called them Spys.
Thank you for your reactions absolutely love the how true your reactions are and thank you for supporting remembrance and I would highly recommend watching 13 hours the secret soldiers of benghazi it's more modern and based on a true story also the film 1917 is a good film aswell
I am so glad i found your channel guys...i love seeing how there is still people out there like you two with beautiful hearts and souls. Love your reactions. Greetings from Colombia.
Good on ya mate at 35:41 I've seen this movie at least five times, and I still tear up, especially at that point. As you both said, the emotions thinking of the brotherhood, the sacrifices made, and the unremarked on mental toll shown in the film. Great reaction you two. Cheers.
I see a lot of reactors to this depiction say "Wow he made it" As a former soldier i would like to remind all that this was one day in a tour of many fights. It is a miracle for any to make it out of a tour. The guilt of surviving for many of us made us do stupid things like re enter the theater for more tours. Only growing old made me realize the waste and stupidity of it all. Better to turn it on the masters of war than on each-other.
11:59 That German soldier is wearing a stolen US army coat. Under Geneva Convention, that’s grounds for death. You’re absolutely not allowed to wear your enemy combatant’s uniform. 1) You are possibly spy. 2) Dishonoring & disrespecting the dead of an enemy. 3) Creating mass confusion where fellow soldiers start shooting their own teammates cuz of enemy combatants disguising themselves as one of them ends up being the “norm”. I get he’s trying to survive in any way he can but that’s really a no go. If he wanted to be a POW (Prisoner of War) , he should’ve surrendered wearing his own uniform. However, there are cases where fellow officers & grunts don’t give an F. Get away with it cuz of personal reasons. No matter what side you’re on, every nation, there’s always some rogue elements that don’t follow the ROE (Rules of Engagement)
@Reactsandgames this falls under a group of crimes called perfidy, which also includes disguising oneself as a civilian, falsely identifying as a member of the Red Cross or other neutral party, faking surrender, or faking injury in order to harm the enemy.
Yeah like us soldiers taking all German guns uniforms cars tanks etc cauze they where better and allied soldiers just didn’t want to take the trash given to them not a single German soldier would have ever worn US shit cloth or take their shit weapons
In war there's things soldiers have to do/go through that any normal person should never have to go through. Killing the enemy soldiers, (shooting them, burning them, blowing them up), seeing the same done to people you know, having to do it to enemy soldiers that are only teenagers so they don't kill you first. Having to kill enemy soldiers because you can't take them as prisoners of war and you can't let them go free. Walking down a road or bridge and seeing a dismembered body part off to the side and not knowing who it belonged to or what happened to the rest of them.
A YT channel named The Fat Electrician has a true life telling of this tank.. He is well known and has an informative, humorous, factual and accurate telling of this and many other war battles.. Definitely worth checking out.
He tells the real story of War Daddy...but War Daddy never got to command any tank as good as the Fury tank. He did get to command M4A1(76W) models, but nothing as updated as the late war M4A3E8(76W)HVSS "Easy Eight" that the Fury tank is supposed to be. Hope you do not mind the minor correction.
Such a brilliant film! If you get the chance, check out bovington tank museum in Dorset, the fury tank is there on display. The amount of bullets and bodies around the tank at the end really hit me hard..
Fun fact if you want to go to BOVINGTON TANK MUSEUM in the south of England you can see the REAL fury tank from the film aswell as the german TIGER, which is called tiger 131 and is the only running tiger left in the world. I've seen them myself and its awesome Edit: fixed spelling mistakes lol
The Sherman tank was no match for the German Tiger or Panther. The stand 75 mm. gun was like a pea shooter off the front of a Tiger. The British removed the 75 mm cannon off some of their Shermans and replaced them with a 17 pounder. This tank was known as the Firefly and the Germans were terrified of it. The British offered 1000 Fireflies to the Americans but we turned them down. Don't ask me why, for I have no idea. From September 1944 to March 1945 the US was losing about 400 tanks per month. .
Depends on what version of the Sherman fury is a easy 8 Sherman it’s the long barreled 76 mm which can pen the fro t armor of the tiger one which is the reason that scene is so stupid also that scene plays into the myth that it takes 5 Sherman’s to kill a tiger
US Sherman variants with 76mm high velocity guns entered production in February of 1944, having begun development in late 1942. They were already in the depots in England ready to be issued for D-Day, but reportedly, none of the commanders wanted them yet. The 75mm short barrel gun had a high explosive shell that was so much superior to the HE shell for the 76mm gun that all US tank unit commanders tried to keep the 75mm gun armed tanks around in large numbers. The US 76mm gun could penetrate the front of the Tiger from at least 500 meters with standard APCBC shells, and from about 1000 meters with high velocity AP (HVAP)...the Fury had the 76mm gun and in April 1945 would have carried HVAP shells.
@@iKvetch558That is why Fury would have been taken out first by the Tiger. The Tiger had its problems. They were prone to breaking down and they were slow. At any given time 40% of all Tigers were under repair. Many Tigers were destroyed by their own crews when they ran out of gas or just broke down. Germany might have been better off manufacturing more of their very good Mark 4 tanks. The Sherman was very versatile and open to many adaptations. When evaluating the Sherman it's a matter of seeing the glass either half empty or half full. I think the Sherman was a good tank for its time. It was easy to manufacture which was important given the fact that our automobile manufacturing companies had to build them for the US, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union. They did serve in all theaters of the war. The Shermans were reliable, easy to repair, and adaptable.
Don’t get me started on the fact that the US could easily out produce Germany when it came to Tiger-quality tanks, but for one reason or another they never did.
You should view the film “The Wild Geese” 1978. The last hurrah from the old school actors “Richard Burton, Richard Harris & Roger Moore & a great theme tune from Joan Armatrading!
@@Reactsandgames Memphis Bell is another good one. It is about a B-17 crew. Based on a real story. My grandfather was a tail, and belly gunner during WW2.
The German tank here is what's known as Tiger I. It would indeed be a beast vs M4 Sherman tanks but such battles rarely ever happened in the war. A tank's role is to provide infantry support, typically against enemy infantry and light vehicles. The Tiger tank is better suited to fight other tanks, meaning it does not fit the typical tank role well. Also the amount of such tanks produced was quite low - just over 1300. Add to that the notorious lack of reliability and we can expect about 20% of those to only be suitable for spare parts. At the same time about 50000 Sherman tanks were produced and most were deployed during the war. As they say - quantity has a quality of its own. One more thing - Fury has the upgraded high-velocity 76mm gun and could easily penetrate the Tiger's front armor at that range. Such ambushes are realistic and did happen, however attacking the enemy tank in the open field is not realistic at all. They would typically deploy smoke, pull back on the other side of the road and call air support or infantry scouts first. If they rush a lone Tiger tank not only are they giving it free tank kills, but also would risk being pulled into a crossfire between other tanks or anti-tank weapons.
Highly recommend watching "Das Boot" (1981) its about the Crew of a German WW2 Submarine and shows how the crew works and lives togheter in this thight metal tube and how they deal with fear, claustrophobia and the war in general. No other movie shows and makes you feal claustrophobia like "Das Boot".
Tiger 131 is kept and maintained by The Tank Museum in Bovington England...and is the only operational Tiger tank in the world. There appear to be only 9 other Tigers in the world in varying conditions, some of them are not complete, and none of them is functional.
It's loosely based on a real tank commander and his crew from world war II. Lafayette pool was his name play and his battle name was "war Daddy". The fat electrician does a good video about it
Don't feel sorry for Norman. He went thru basic training like everyone else. Also, remember that we were fighting to keep Hitler from getting the first A-bomb.
Tiger Tank's rear armor is same as the side armor. And the tiger tank commander was wearing his ceremonial suit, it was not the operation suit. Quick info.
WW2 soldiers were generally very young. Most of the combat troops were in their early 20s. The only exception was the 77 division, Desmond Doss's group that were called The Old Guys or sometimes The Old Bastards. Tank crews were no exception. Sgt. Lafayette Pool was the oldest member of his crew and he was 25. My Dad enlisted right after Pearl Harbor and he was the oldest man in his barracks at the ripe old age of 25. One of the biggest problems with war movie accuracy is the fact that the actors are too old.😮
The people from those generations went through hell for our freedom. We should be forever grateful for what they did and we should NEVER forget. With that in mind, you guys MUST watch Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk. As a fellow Brit, I can only say it's one of the most powerful endings to a war film I have ever seen.
The reaction is great and the movie is too. Great job as usual! But now you have another mission, should you choose to accept it. There's a channel called The Fat Electrician, and Nic tells the best stories about unknown heroes both human and beast. One of his videos is about Lafayette "War Daddy" Pool, the WWII tank commander whose actual story was the basis for this movie. Now go and react to it and learn the true story behind this excellent movie! And all Nic's videos are amazing. He's an ex-Army medic and absolute student of history who gives all the facts from his exhaustive research. As an ex-Army guy his language is occasionally (often?) foul, but he is perhaps the most engaging and humorous storyteller to be found on YT. The Fat Electrician. Go check him out. I promise you'll be amazed.
@@Reactsandgames You won't regret it, I promise! 🙂 Also, it'd be great to check him out for the first time on Veteran's/Armistice/Remembrance Day, right? 😛
*War movies tend to affect men to a visceral level, because we can see ourselves in their position, if we were born at a different time. So it hits different. Especially because there's always that chance it may happen again*
Liam you and I are very fortunate since we both have lovely, charming, intelligent wives. I'm 78 so my wife is quite a bit older but she still as beautiful as the day I met her. I am sure Steph will be beautiful for many decades to come. The two of you make a very handsome couple. 😊
It's a movie, of course in reality an immobile tank is no threat to them apart from the initial surprise attack. They could have just gone around it in the fields, not to mention the rear of the tank was totally unprotected
At the beginning, that was artillery, not German planes bombing. 1945, America is in Germany, the German Air Force was nowhere to be seen at this point. They were destroyed.
The Tiger Tank had a larger gun, more range, and much heavier protective armament. They were far superior to the Sherman Tank but Shermans were mass produced and easier to repair. Mass production proved more important than superior technology. The downside of course was the number of tanks and more importantly men that were lost.
@@Reactsandgames He's referring to the name of the tank that the real "War Daddy" and his crew were in. Their tank was called "In The Mood" after the famous Glenn Miller song. This movie is fictional, but the "War Daddy" character is very loosely based on Lafayette "War Daddy" Pool who was a highly decorated tank commander and a tank ace. The real War Daddy survived the war but lost a leg. There is a video by The Fat Electrician called "The Most Gangster Tanker of WWII" that is about the real "War Daddy" and his crew. It's a great video if y'all are curious about the real guy. As much as I love "Fury", I really wish that Hollywood would have depicted the real 'War Daddy' and showed a historically based account of everything that he and his crew did.
Hi guys, I highly recommend you react to Kelly's Heroes (1970) it's got vibes of this movie + saving private ryan. A WWII action comedy set in the aftermath of D-Day; Clint Eastwood stars in the title role as a soldier who leads his platoon on a mission to steal nazi gold hidden behind enemy lines. The late great Donald Sutherland steals the show as a hippie tank sergeant. It's very underreacted to here on youtube, as are aerial warfare movies. I can't highly recommend enough: Memphis Belle, Red Tails, The Battle Of Britain & The Dambusters. Please react to these asap, war in the air is a woefully underreacted to sub-genre of war and is infinitly more exiting and entertaining to watch than land based warfare. I like your reactions and I'm subscribed :)
What a brilliant movie, up there with Saving Private Ryan. The reality of war is harrowing and horriific. I love these movies but they destroy me. Being Autistic/ADHD, certain things trigger my associated anxiety. The one that messed me up the worst was *The Pacific.* From the people behind *Band of Brother's* It triggered my anxiety so bad, that for almost a week after it, I felt tearful when some of the horror it depicted came to my mind. Some of the scenes are that horrific. I couldn't watch it again.
I love you guys reaction always and always waiting for the War Movie especially that coming from Medieval and World War II era. If may suggest please react to Kingdom of Heaven, Braveheart and Robin Hood (2010, Starred by Russel Crowe) thank you guys love React and Games so much
That german soldier looking under the tank with the flashlight at norman was a young sodlier like norman is and thats why he didnt say anything and walked away and spared norman.
just like she said!
Awesome reaction guys !! The part where bible quotes the scripture “here am i, send me!” gets me choked up everytime. Anywho again great reaction and much love from across the pond 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
The reality of war is different.. think of everyone right now in war. It’s the line of, “what a man can do to another man…” it really hits home.
It really does! 💔😢

11:59 That German soldier is wearing a stolen US army coat.
Under Geneva Convention, that’s grounds for death. You’re absolutely not allowed to wear your enemy combatant’s uniform.
1) You are possibly spy.
2) Dishonoring & disrespecting the dead of an enemy.
3) Creating mass confusion where fellow soldiers start shooting their own teammates cuz of enemy combatants disguising themselves as one of them ends up being the “norm”.

Aww thank you so much! I’m glad to be back! ❤️
Fun fact if you want to go to BOVINGTON TANK MUSEUM in the south of England you can see the REAL fury tank from the film aswell as the german TIGER, which is called tiger 131 and is the only running tiger left in the world. I've seen them myself and its awesome
Edit: fixed spelling mistakes lol
Thank you for letting us know! ☺️
The Panzer Faust was another anti tank weapon.
Love the reaction nee to watch we were soldiers and lone survivor, American sniper, only the brave amazing and emotional and powerful movies
Thank you for watching! ☺️
The Sherman tank was no match for the German Tiger or Panther. The stand 75 mm. gun was like a pea shooter off the front of a Tiger. The British removed the 75 mm cannon off some of their Shermans and replaced them with a 17 pounder. This tank was known as the Firefly and the Germans were terrified of it. The British offered 1000 Fireflies to the Americans but we turned them down. Don't ask me why, for I have no idea. From September 1944 to March 1945 the US was losing about 400 tanks per month. .
Depends on what version of the Sherman fury is a easy 8 Sherman it’s the long barreled 76 mm which can pen the fro t armor of the tiger one which is the reason that scene is so stupid also that scene plays into the myth that it takes 5 Sherman’s to kill a tiger
US Sherman variants with 76mm high velocity guns entered production in February of 1944, having begun development in late 1942. They were already in the depots in England ready to be issued for D-Day, but reportedly, none of the commanders wanted them yet. The 75mm short barrel gun had a high explosive shell that was so much superior to the HE shell for the 76mm gun that all US tank unit commanders tried to keep the 75mm gun armed tanks around in large numbers. The US 76mm gun could penetrate the front of the Tiger from at least 500 meters with standard APCBC shells, and from about 1000 meters with high velocity AP (HVAP)...the Fury had the 76mm gun and in April 1945 would have carried HVAP shells.
@@iKvetch558That is why Fury would have been taken out first by the Tiger. The Tiger had its problems. They were prone to breaking down and they were slow. At any given time 40% of all Tigers were under repair. Many Tigers were destroyed by their own crews when they ran out of gas or just broke down. Germany might have been better off manufacturing more of their very good Mark 4 tanks. The Sherman was very versatile and open to many adaptations. When evaluating the Sherman it's a matter of seeing the glass either half empty or half full. I think the Sherman was a good tank for its time. It was easy to manufacture which was important given the fact that our automobile manufacturing companies had to build them for the US, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union. They did serve in all theaters of the war. The Shermans were reliable, easy to repair, and adaptable.
400 tanks per month by today's standards is insane tbh. Modern-day United Kingdom doesn't even have 300 Challenger 2s.
Don’t get me started on the fact that the US could easily out produce Germany when it came to Tiger-quality tanks, but for one reason or another they never did.
I think the assistant director was Brad Pit. I think. Not sure
You should view the film “The Wild Geese” 1978. The last hurrah from the old school actors “Richard Burton, Richard Harris & Roger Moore & a great theme tune from Joan Armatrading!
No. That was artillery raining down at the start of the movie.
The actor standing behind Brad Pitt eating when he makes Norman shoot the German in the back is Clint Eastwood's son Scott Eastwood
That’s amazing!
I saw this one in theaters.
Good movie.
One of my favorite war movies. Just the soundtrack gives me tears when I hear it.
@@coolassbrian soooo good!
@@Reactsandgames Memphis Bell is another good one. It is about a B-17 crew. Based on a real story. My grandfather was a tail, and belly gunner during WW2.
@ please watch Memphis Bell. It’s not nearly as hard core as Fury, but the sentiment is similar.
14:00 Norman, Upham, and Algren (Last Samurai) all act as the audience thrust into an alien world
The German tank here is what's known as Tiger I. It would indeed be a beast vs M4 Sherman tanks but such battles rarely ever happened in the war. A tank's role is to provide infantry support, typically against enemy infantry and light vehicles. The Tiger tank is better suited to fight other tanks, meaning it does not fit the typical tank role well. Also the amount of such tanks produced was quite low - just over 1300. Add to that the notorious lack of reliability and we can expect about 20% of those to only be suitable for spare parts. At the same time about 50000 Sherman tanks were produced and most were deployed during the war. As they say - quantity has a quality of its own.
One more thing - Fury has the upgraded high-velocity 76mm gun and could easily penetrate the Tiger's front armor at that range. Such ambushes are realistic and did happen, however attacking the enemy tank in the open field is not realistic at all. They would typically deploy smoke, pull back on the other side of the road and call air support or infantry scouts first. If they rush a lone Tiger tank not only are they giving it free tank kills, but also would risk being pulled into a crossfire between other tanks or anti-tank weapons.
In fhe making of this movie Lebouf didnt bath the whole time on filming of this movie. He was 100% in his character
So he didn't care about the other actors shut in the tank with him, he's 100% a fruit loop
Brad Pitt with his modern hair cut
Highly recommend watching "Das Boot" (1981) its about the Crew of a German WW2 Submarine and shows how the crew works and lives togheter in this thight metal tube and how they deal with fear, claustrophobia and the war in general.
No other movie shows and makes you feal claustrophobia like "Das Boot".
That was artillery in the beginning of not missiles which didn’t exist yet
Gald to see yall again. Woohooo!!!
Thank you for joining us! ☺️
Great reaction. 👍
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching! ☺️
Most soilders would say, the heroes are the ones that didn't come home.
Bless them! ❤️😢
React to: Windtalkers (2002). A warmovie about the Navajo-Codetalkers.
The movie Fury is based on real experiences WWII tank division soldiers had, however the characters in the movie are fictional.
The Tiger in the Battle with Fury is One of THE Last Functional WWII German Tiger Tanks left on the🌎,,,,,i think theres only 3(dont hold me to that)
Tiger 131 is kept and maintained by The Tank Museum in Bovington England...and is the only operational Tiger tank in the world. There appear to be only 9 other Tigers in the world in varying conditions, some of them are not complete, and none of them is functional.
It's loosely based on a real tank commander and his crew from world war II. Lafayette pool was his name play and his battle name was "war Daddy". The fat electrician does a good video about it
Don't feel sorry for Norman. He went thru basic training like everyone else. Also, remember that we were fighting to keep Hitler from getting the first A-bomb.
is not the same being a POG than a GRUNT.
Thank you, Liam! Thank you, Steph! 🪖
You're so welcome! Thank you again for watching! ☺️❤️
@@Reactsandgames It's my pleasure. 🥰
There's another good tank movie from 1988 called The Beast that's worth a watch, it's about Afghanistan in 1981 though so a much more recent conflict.
Tiger Tank's rear armor is same as the side armor. And the tiger tank commander was wearing his ceremonial suit, it was not the operation suit. Quick info.
WW2 soldiers were generally very young. Most of the combat troops were in their early 20s. The only exception was the 77 division, Desmond Doss's group that were called The Old Guys or sometimes The Old Bastards. Tank crews were no exception. Sgt. Lafayette Pool was the oldest member of his crew and he was 25. My Dad enlisted right after Pearl Harbor and he was the oldest man in his barracks at the ripe old age of 25.
One of the biggest problems with war movie accuracy is the fact that the actors are too old.😮
Bless them!
Those two guns were anti tank guns.
The people from those generations went through hell for our freedom. We should be forever grateful for what they did and we should NEVER forget. With that in mind, you guys MUST watch Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk. As a fellow Brit, I can only say it's one of the most powerful endings to a war film I have ever seen.
Dunkirk is on our list! ☺️
The reaction is great and the movie is too. Great job as usual! But now you have another mission, should you choose to accept it.
There's a channel called The Fat Electrician, and Nic tells the best stories about unknown heroes both human and beast. One of his videos is about Lafayette "War Daddy" Pool, the WWII tank commander whose actual story was the basis for this movie. Now go and react to it and learn the true story behind this excellent movie!
And all Nic's videos are amazing. He's an ex-Army medic and absolute student of history who gives all the facts from his exhaustive research. As an ex-Army guy his language is occasionally (often?) foul, but he is perhaps the most engaging and humorous storyteller to be found on YT. The Fat Electrician. Go check him out. I promise you'll be amazed.
Thank you so much for your comment! We will have to check him out! ☺️
@@Reactsandgames You won't regret it, I promise! 🙂
Also, it'd be great to check him out for the first time on Veteran's/Armistice/Remembrance Day, right? 😛
*War movies tend to affect men to a visceral level, because we can see ourselves in their position, if we were born at a different time. So it hits different. Especially because there's always that chance it may happen again*
Totally agree!
"Lone Survivor" and "American Sniper" is awesome movie also
Thank you! ☺️
Liam you and I are very fortunate since we both have lovely, charming, intelligent wives. I'm 78 so my wife is quite a bit older but she still as beautiful as the day I met her. I am sure Steph will be beautiful for many decades to come. The two of you make a very handsome couple. 😊
What a lovely comment! Thank you so much! ☺️ ❤️
For the record, an SS battalion would not waste the manpower and resources on a single immobile tank.
It's a movie, of course in reality an immobile tank is no threat to them apart from the initial surprise attack. They could have just gone around it in the fields, not to mention the rear of the tank was totally unprotected
Great movie! Great reaction! Thank you!🎉😢
Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
It is indeed a great film!
New sub and I'm really enjoying your reactions.
@@frankmartin3600 really appreciate it! Thank you!
tiger was one of the most feared tanks of WW2
The tiger also averaged a 1/2 a mile a gallon, which also was a major weakness with it.
Next = "Patoon" 1986 , best Academy Awards film...
Great film
Norman lived only by the grace of God. Call it karma or faith but he lived because his heart was as pur as it could had been due to the situation.
At the beginning, that was artillery, not German planes bombing. 1945, America is in Germany, the German Air Force was nowhere to be seen at this point. They were destroyed.
Thank you for letting us know! ☺️
Its fictional but alot more TRUTH than fiction. Alot
Of what happened in this movie is what happen in real life. Alot
Wow! Thank you for sharing! ☺️
Such a brutal movie but for some soldiers I feel that was their story
The Tiger Tank had a larger gun, more range, and much heavier protective armament. They were far superior to the Sherman Tank but Shermans were mass produced and easier to repair. Mass production proved more important than superior technology. The downside of course was the number of tanks and more importantly men that were lost.
For a different look of WW2 movies try watching JOJO RABBIT a 10 year old German boy influenced by AF
“In the Mood”🤛🏽✊🏽👊🏾
What are you referring to?
@@Reactsandgames He's referring to the name of the tank that the real "War Daddy" and his crew were in. Their tank was called "In The Mood" after the famous Glenn Miller song. This movie is fictional, but the "War Daddy" character is very loosely based on Lafayette "War Daddy" Pool who was a highly decorated tank commander and a tank ace. The real War Daddy survived the war but lost a leg. There is a video by The Fat Electrician called "The Most Gangster Tanker of WWII" that is about the real "War Daddy" and his crew. It's a great video if y'all are curious about the real guy. As much as I love "Fury", I really wish that Hollywood would have depicted the real 'War Daddy' and showed a historically based account of everything that he and his crew did.
You guys should react to another highly rated ww1 one movie that's also very emotional. It's called " All quiet on the western front "
The war in Germany ended in May.
The Fat Electrician has a great video on War Daddy!
Hi guys, I highly recommend you react to Kelly's Heroes (1970) it's got vibes of this movie + saving private ryan. A WWII action comedy set in the aftermath of D-Day; Clint Eastwood stars in the title role as a soldier who leads his platoon on a mission to steal nazi gold hidden behind enemy lines. The late great Donald Sutherland steals the show as a hippie tank sergeant. It's very underreacted to here on youtube, as are aerial warfare movies. I can't highly recommend enough: Memphis Belle, Red Tails, The Battle Of Britain & The Dambusters. Please react to these asap, war in the air is a woefully underreacted to sub-genre of war and is infinitly more exiting and entertaining to watch than land based warfare. I like your reactions and I'm subscribed :)
Lovely couple
Thank you so much! ☺️
Brutal film
What a brilliant movie, up there with Saving Private Ryan. The reality of war is harrowing and horriific. I love these movies but they destroy me. Being Autistic/ADHD, certain things trigger my associated anxiety. The one that messed me up the worst was *The Pacific.* From the people behind *Band of Brother's* It triggered my anxiety so bad, that for almost a week after it, I felt tearful when some of the horror it depicted came to my mind. Some of the scenes are that horrific. I couldn't watch it again.
@@ManvasPachenko amazing film! Truly stuck with me this one! Been recommending it to friends
@@Reactsandgames It's incredible. The scene with the tanks attacking the German tanks, accompanied by the choral choir music. OMG, goose bumps.
❤ good 👍 stuff
I love you guys reaction always and always waiting for the War Movie especially that coming from Medieval and World War II era.
If may suggest please react to Kingdom of Heaven, Braveheart and Robin Hood (2010, Starred by Russel Crowe) thank you guys love React and Games so much
And people say men didnt do shit for their country... piss off lmao
Lest we forget.
Guys, we are craving your arcane season 2 reactions ❤❤❤❤
Coming today or Tomorrow! ☺️
8:17 He could not shoot the Germans because his gun can't turn all the way to the right so it was not his area of responsibility.
