What's interesting is that SS officers knew that US troops would most likely execute them on the spot, so they would swap uniforms with a regular Army guy who didn't know better. That's why Brad Pitt's character asked the Mayor before shooting him, just to make sure.
Not true. The SS wanted to surrender to the Americans. Hell any German did. Surrendering to the Russians was a guaranteed bullet in the head from ss officer to medic. This soldier would have been arrested for killing this ss guy. But war is hell and it’s easy to talk high and mighty when you’re not there watching your best friends die because of the enemy.
@@SandorSoptei Actually Russians didn't execute everybody. Many of them were sent to labor camps. But Germans were afraid of Russians, because they thought that Russian will revenge for all things Germany did in USSR
The movie is for entertainment and to let Brad shine. Only authentic part of this movie is the amount of cigarettes that are consumed. Military and historical accuracy is missing all the way. Best example is "Tiger vs Sherman" tank fight but there are many more scenes
@@rowmagnvs - Probably wasn't holding back emotions actually. This was an SS officer. A monster. Dude probably felt good about it. His thoughts were probably happy ones.
@@dankengine5304 Yep. Bear in mind, a lot of these guys were hanged in the aftermath of the war. I'm not a fan of killing people as a punishment, but not because people don't deserve to die. Every single SS officer absolutely did, and this fictional one got what was coming to him.
lol interesting statement. I’m guessing you’ve never been to war. Watched your buddies blown apart by the enemy. Seen the aftermath of what your enemy did to civilians… if you had, or even had any common sense you’d understand why that character had no emotion after killing that SS officer. And yes, in WWII THOSE SS troops murdered captured American soldiers. Look up the The Malmedy Massacre so you can gain some perspective! This may be a movie, but Malmedy was real!
Well, my grandfather fought these people. I think he might agree that there is a huge difference between the brutality of executing civilians, and the justice of putting down rabid beasts. This is just nature at work.

@Goodest Cat I know right! Almost as crazy as a Mexican saying "No", for "No".... You should know the German "Yes & No", the same way you know the Spanish "Yes & No", and the French, "Yes & No". Educate yourself if your parents won't do it for you. 90% of the "White, Western" languages are really close together, with English doing a lot of the coupling. It's not like it's hard.
So you're the type of person to look for the subtitle of "No" from a Spanish speaker, even tho it's the same "No"? You do see what I'm getting at, Yes? Or maybe We? Ja?
@@StanHowse Oddly enough, there have been movies I've watched with subtitles for Spanish that would have the word "Si" written on the screen.

this Sherman was shot by tiger, PAK 40, and PAK 44 multiple times and it just kept going, and Brad Pitt never closed his hatch, this damn plot armor is very effective.
Maybe the shots bounced off? I play Company of Heroes, a game online and I dealt with many fights of Shermans fighting a Tiger and AT. Honestly I always needed more then two Shermans to take down a single tiger. While my infantry rush the AT guns. Just a thought though. Then again, this is a movie haha. I still enjoyed it though.

Angel looks so steely and cold. He just walks up, guns him down, and then just takes a medal and walks on. Like it's as casual as grabbing a beer from a fridge. The SS officer almost doesn't act human. He doesn't change his expression or even move much, despite knowing his about to die. Goes to show war makes beasts of both sides.
Good point. Many Americans see movies about world war 2 and get so tribalistic about good vs bad that all the nuance is lost. Should he have been executed? Of course, but it was done summarily and without any evidence besides that civilians word. A war crime against a bad person is no less illegal, just maybe a bit less immoral. Regardless violence and hate begets itself
Love how Brad Pitt's character encouraged Norman here. He wanted the Germans to burn just like the rest of troops. But, he needed Norman to be able to do his job, and this was the firs time he had killed someone of his own volition. So, Brad Pitt encouraged him.
I’m most cases the pain of being burned alive would keep any retaliation from really occurring, but there’s always the chance there’s that one guy who’s just had half the teams morphine simply to keep him alive and isn’t gonna care about the flames. I’m not sure if that’s ever been recorded happening but unless ammo conservation is a high priority it’s probably just safer short term to shoot em anyways.
@@captiancholera8459 Yeah, it's hazy and smoky, so they can potentially still be armed. There's good reason to assume he saved his allies by doing that.

@R G I ain’t mad, and if you think what I’m saying is too extreme - this happened during world war 2. Don’t need a history lesson to know the brutality, and that being shot was not the worst thing to happen
@R G yeah I definitely don’t promote execution without a proper trial, but during ww2 it’s a completely different way of things. During the war, people did atrocious stuff - there wasn’t as much accountability, for crime and “justice”. The whole damn world war 2 was messed up, and I’m sure glad I’m living after this happened. Still, just gottta consider, unfortunately, the shocking brutality of things (like dead kids) that made people do this.
As it should be. War if f*cking ugly and the only people that believe otherwise are psychopaths' and people that have never fought in one. If anything as graphic as this movie was its still too sanitized.
@Chill Music pretty sure it’s an American thing. You can’t even swear on TV in USA let alone RUclips these days. No other country censors swearing especially liberal ones
So USA. Show people laughing at an execution but no f words - this actually does teach kids something: with a bit of hypocrisy anything goes... anf it shows my friend, it shows.
To bad they went so far off the historical path War Daddy took, Brad's character is based on a real person, but the rest of the movie comes no where near what really happened.
@@bakers2366 What is wrong with you? Thats horrible and moreover completely unnecessary. I mean besides the obvious pointless wanton waste of life and mass murder, its a waste of bullets meaning it technically HARMS the war effort
For those that do not understand the execution order...After the massacre at Malmedy, an unofficial order was given not to take any SS soldiers alive. That order was later rescinded.
My grandfather told me he was in Austria I think when a group of German soldiers surrendered to his unit. He was a young officer at that time technically 3rd or 4th in line rank I think either way he still remembers his captain telling the men to train guns on each and everyone of them. They came out with their hands up and one officer had his pistol held upside down with one finger. A young infantry man fired a shot over the German officers head and told him to drop it. he said he remembered that split second feeling he had as if this was his last moment because he thought the Germans were tricking them and were going to ambush them. The German officer dropped the weapon and no other shots were fired but still imagine being a young man worrying about that.
That's crazy, yeah. War is a frightening thing filled with nothing but tragedy. So unpoetic. Even things like that where they were unharmed, can still leave emotional scars.
My great uncle fought in the Battle of the Bulge and had men wounded and killed all around him. He got blown off a tank one time without being seriously injured. He finally got off the line to guard prisoners because he could speak a little German. He said it saved his life. Never left Bloomington IN when he got home and ended up committing suicide in 1992 or 1993. I'm sure he had PTSD before they understood what it was
@@jaredgoldfine1391 War is very poetic. There's countless poetry written about war, both how terrible it is and how valiant it can be. What is most jarring to the average modern citizen is that war, conflict, even physical violence itself is so far removed from our society that experiencing it as an adult is completely foreign to our senses, and has much more potential to be traumatic. Consider this versus for instance someone raised from birth in ancient Aztec or Sparta, where war IS the culture. It's far less traumatic in that case. I remember watching an hour long video of a guy talking about his time as a gunner on an AC-130, and he mentioned that he never felt anything about anyone he gunned down because he was constantly told during all of his training "you're gonna kill people. you're gonna blow people to bits. your job is to kill people." There's a lot of violence and mayhem we can accept in life so long as we know it's coming. It's the shit you don't expect to see, that's what traumatizes you.
Oh, I can well imagine that young man being worried. If they were in Austria that was in the war's final days and who wants to be the last man to die in a war? We can rationalize you're no more dead than the first guy was but that argument really doesn't hold too much water. No, I can blame him for being careful and not taking chances.
My late father was taken out of the war in a German town like that. 3 months into the war a bomb landed next to him. He had so many fragments in him the doctors had to leave many of them inside him. Too risky to go in after them. 40% disabled.....lived to be 83.
For some reason I feel like the guy who surrendered is the actual SS officer, and the young man that got executed was ordered to die in his uniform, in his place.
@@blaisetoure533 I don't deny that, the younger one in the SS uniform definitely looks like a soldier. I just get this conspiratorial feeling from the way the man in glasses is presenting this whole thing, the way he eyes the SS officer. Also that SS uniform doesn't seem to fit the younger soldier very well. I'm sure I'm wrong, but it may be an even more interesting scene if these american soldiers are so bloodthirsty that they don't even realize that they've made a mistake and let an SS officer go free, while killing one of his subordinates. It would mesh with the themes of the film, I feel.
@@TheSolitaryEye Don't you forget he had a broken arm. How could he put his uniform on and then treat him with bandages. If the other one was the real officer, he would choose someone else. Also, I think he is probably a school teacher, who is allowed to learn these kids about the Nazi propaganda.
Yeah, people give Fury shit for a lot of things but them romanticizing the Western front isn't one of those things if you ask me, you've got people being executed, people being burned alive, kids being hanged, child soldiers, stuff like that.
@@visoriannull832 Then the executioner of said Nazi is surely demonstrating the same lack of moral compass by murdering an unarmed solder, who has surrendered?
@@visoriannull832 Not killing, murdering. There is a difference, and one used at the Nuremburg trials; they like the American ordering the illegal asssination, felt they were in the right.

It's insane, heart breaking, unstoppable, hilarious, inventive and dirty. Your sanity teases you until even your dreams are ice. I was in during GWOT. Saw a woman receive her first book in a country that forbids women from getting an education. Saw a childs face split open 4 ways like the aliens in predator. Saw drums of people soup, dismantled by machete. Saw a man snap. He lived but there was no light in his eyes, no soul. Nothing left to give, he just stopped being.

The sound effects at the theater was insane in this movie. When the tanks were ambushed in a large field it really sounded like rounds were zooming by in all directions, just awesome.
@Yelling Yak its no wonder the world is fucked up, idiots more care about fake, plastic civility than human life. Not that most in the SS qualified as humans.
I’ve seen a lot of complaints about the AT gun missing in these scene on other clips, claiming that it was unrealistic from that range and just assumed they were right, but watching it now it very clearly did hit, it just struck an angled section of armour from an unoportune angle and glanced off instead of penetrating. That’s quite realistic, it’s actually exactly why tank armour is so angular, to deflect rounds rather than trying to stop them
I hate those kinds of complaints, honestly. It missed, there's no "it should've" or "it would've". The crew, in this story, screwed up the shot. That happened, in fact most tanks and guns in WWII expended several rounds, sometimes up to ten, per actual kill. I've watched a lot of documentaries, and in a lot of them, crews count themselves lucky that the enemy they faced whiffed their shot. They should've been killed, but the enemy just didn't manage. It's not unrealistic, it's war. I swear people are so used to video game statistics these days that they can't understand the human factor.
It has always been so strange to me that at the start of the war, so many countries seemed to have no clue about angled armor. The more the angle Btw, the less thick it has to be, thus making a tank a lot lighter. A perfect tank would be all angled and round.
@@mutteringmale read more about it, it`s not that simple, a tank with armored armour has to be bigger due to the angled armor plates, that`s why the engineers who designed tiger I made the decision to not angle the armour, if they did, then there would be not enough place for the crew and ammunition and the rest of equipment inside the tank if it was to be the same size
@@FawkHoof It just show how stupid those designers were. Make the tank less heavy by having angled armor, which can be much thinner and walla! All the space you need. Speaking of which, I see so many military combat armored vehicles which still haven't figured out the ratio of angle vs penetrating strength...you go online, type that into search and the tables are all there. In SciFi, written by very smart futuratists with degrees up the ying yang, tanks are polyhedrons or similar.
Yeah, it's not that countries didn't understand the benefits of angled armor- engineers had been angling armor on battleships and fortresses for literally centuries. But the problem is how you fit that angle onto a vehicle without compromising weight, crew/equipment space, or other factors. It's just like welded vs. cast armor- the designers _knew_ that fully-cast turrets were better, but the technical ability to _do_ that just wasn't there for the most part. That's why it took time, and many failed iterations of designs, to figure out how to do it in a way that worked.

Niitaka." And imposing economic sanctions isn't starting a war. The EU had a minor trade spat with the US last year, is that the same as if they lobbed missiles at NYC? Yes, the US did things that escalated tensions with japan, just like Japan did things - like massacring hundreds of thousands of civilians in Nanjing, sinking a US Navy gunboat, and invading Indochina - to escalate tensions with the US and the rest of the world.

My favorite theory I once read online was the old man with the flag was really the SS officer and swapped clothes with the other guy dressed as the SS officer. The old man either lied and said he would be ok since he will be dressed as an officer and will be treated good by the Americans or threatened him and broke his arm to make him do it. Theres no support to the theory at all and I know its some idea someone cooked up, but it's very interesting. In fact thats the only way I can see it everytime I watch this movie now.
The theory falls flat on its face when you realise the SS officer is a lot taller than the mayor waving the flag so the uniform wouldn't have fit him if the theory was true.

Two things I love about this scene. 1. Angel. It looks like Angel is the new guy of the infantry group like Norm is to the tank crew, going through his own growth and corruption but with a different crowd and a very different way, Angel is embracing the darker aspects while Norm is pushing against it. The mannerisms, accents, and actions of the infantry resemble Appalachian shooters which brings an interesting dynamic to everything, I like how it draws attention to the differences between the infantry and the tank crews but they still support each other well. 2. Looting. Angel takes a medal from the corpse which no one bats an eye to but they still execute the german for wearing an american jacket. That is beautiful not because of the hypocrisy, but because they know it would result in being executed themselves in case of capture, but don't care. Does a great job at showing the nihilism of a worn out regiment
They did not execute the german for wearing an american jacket LOL. 1. He's wearing a german one and 2. they shot him for being a SS c*cks*cker who hung the kids.
It's the corporal (who says 'this one's yours Angel') who loots the executed SS Officer not Angel. I think he picked Angel for the task as he carried a fully automatic weapon - better for the job in hand. Also, for me, Angel doesn't have the demeanor of a rookie - the way he shoves the mayor aside, shoots without hesitation and ambles off without a second glance - speaks to me of detachment and casual menace.
For those that dont know, Willy Pete is tanker slang for a white phosphorous (WP) round, an extremely hot round that is incendiary. Another type of round that many are unfamiliar with is called a beehive round, which is essentially a big shotgun round. Dont think it was used/ invented in WW2, but was used in Nam.
Iirc beehive rounds or something similar were used on Japanese battleships during for anti-aircraft use. They rarely worked though, however one story I’ve heard is that a Japanese battleship captain, I think it was of the Nagato, used beehive rounds to save a nearby ship (I want to say it was Agano but I’m even less sure), and after the war the two captains became drinking buddies
White phosphorous is an incredibly dangerous incendiary compound, similar to very very sticky burning wax. The most notable difference is that it autoignites upon being exposed to air, making it intensely dangerous for whatever poor bastard you fling it at. Beehive rounds were specialized artillery shells used to clear out wide but close areas. They also saw use as anti-air, but primarily served in Vietnam, where firsthand accounts suggest that artillery positions in danger of being overrun would use beehive rounds to cut down the enemy. One tale in particular says that when an American tank was in danger of being opened and captured by surrounding NVA soldiers, an artillery position hit it with a beehive round, clearing off the vast majority of the attacking soldiers with very little damage to the tank itself (aside from some of the steel darts sticking to it)
@@kbanghart They weren’t used very often in long-range engagements other than against aircraft, from what sources I can find that talk about them. The most famous stories, I’m afraid, are the ones regarding that tank and some batteries that got too close for comfort to PAVN/VC forces. At any rate, I’m mostly sure the design is literally just an upscaled shotgun shell, and not one that could be compared to the standard artillery shell.
Considering the brutality of war, what impresses me is not how bad soldiers can act but how humane they can still act after years of combat and trauma. Taking prisoners and not harming them has been a convention of warfare that has been followed relatively consistently since about the 16th Century in Europe. Napoleon was noted for how he treated his POWs far better than his enemies did. Although even so, at the end of the Napoleonic Wars tens of thousands of French prisoners were released and thousands emigrated to the USA, particularly the Deep South. You can find many graves of soldiers of the Grand Armee in Louisiana, Georgia etc.

As veteran of the Army who drove an M113 APC, I served in an Armor Unit in Germany in 1977 thru 1980. This is truly the most accurate war movie ever made about that kind of duty.
nothing like an 88mm bouncing off the front of a sherman, even if it was angled, I do have to remind myself that historically this variant was fitted out with the experimental "plot" armour and is therefore virtually impervious to incoming fire
It's a movie, with movie plot. I never get why you people keep repeating this as if anyone would think in their right mind that a Sherman could match a Tiger. Or a battalion of SS.

What's interesting is that SS officers knew that US troops would most likely execute them on the spot, so they would swap uniforms with a regular Army guy who didn't know better. That's why Brad Pitt's character asked the Mayor before shooting him, just to make sure.
Except that the Mayor probably was the SS officer, and made the other guy wear the uniform.
@@onisprite older fat guy couldn't fit into that uniform.
Not true. The SS wanted to surrender to the Americans. Hell any German did. Surrendering to the Russians was a guaranteed bullet in the head from ss officer to medic. This soldier would have been arrested for killing this ss guy. But war is hell and it’s easy to talk high and mighty when you’re not there watching your best friends die because of the enemy.
@@SandorSoptei Actually Russians didn't execute everybody. Many of them were sent to labor camps. But Germans were afraid of Russians, because they thought that Russian will revenge for all things Germany did in USSR

Goes to show war makes beasts of both sides.
Good point. Many Americans see movies about world war 2 and get so tribalistic about good vs bad that all the nuance is lost. Should he have been executed? Of course, but it was done summarily and without any evidence besides that civilians word. A war crime against a bad person is no less illegal, just maybe a bit less immoral.

Love how Brad Pitt's character encouraged Norman here. He wanted the Germans to burn just like the rest of troops. But, he needed Norman to be able to do his job, and this was the firs time he had killed someone of his own volition. So, Brad Pitt encouraged him.
I’m most cases the pain of being burned alive would keep any retaliation from really occurring, but there’s always the chance there’s that one guy who’s just had half the teams morphine simply to keep him alive and isn’t gonna care about the flames. I’m not sure if that’s ever been recorded happening but unless ammo conservation is a high priority it’s probably just safer short term to shoot em anyways.

My grandfather told me he was in Austria I think when a group of German soldiers surrendered to his unit. He was a young officer at that time technically 3rd or 4th in line rank I think either way he still remembers his captain telling the men to train guns on each and everyone of them. They came out with their hands up and one officer had his pistol held upside down with one finger. A young infantry man fired a shot over the German officers head and told him to drop it. he said he remembered that split second feeling he had as if this was his last moment because he thought the Germans were tricking them and were going to ambush them. The German officer dropped the weapon and no other shots were fired but still imagine being a young man worrying about that.
That's crazy, yeah. War is a frightening thing filled with nothing but tragedy. So unpoetic. Even things like that where they were unharmed, can still leave emotional scars.
My great uncle fought in the Battle of the Bulge and had men wounded and killed all around him. He got blown off a tank one time without being seriously injured. He finally got off the line to guard prisoners because he could speak a little German. He said it saved his life. Never left Bloomington IN when he got home and ended up committing suicide in 1992 or 1993. I'm sure he had PTSD before they understood what it was
@@jaredgoldfine1391 War is very poetic. There's countless poetry written about war, both how terrible it is and how valiant it can be. What is most jarring to the average modern citizen is that war, conflict, even physical violence itself is so far removed from our society that experiencing it as an adult is completely foreign to our senses, and has much more potential to be traumatic. Consider this versus for instance someone raised from birth in ancient Aztec or Sparta, where war IS the culture. It's far less traumatic in that case.
I remember watching an hour long video of a guy talking about his time as a gunner on an AC-130, and he mentioned that he never felt anything about anyone he gunned down because he was constantly told during all of his training "you're gonna kill people. you're gonna blow people to bits. your job is to kill people." There's a lot of violence and mayhem we can accept in life so long as we know it's coming. It's the shit you don't expect to see, that's what traumatizes you.
Oh, I can well imagine that young man being worried. If they were in Austria that was in the war's final days and who wants to be the last man to die in a war? We can rationalize you're no more dead than the first guy was but that argument really doesn't hold too much water. No, I can blame him for being careful and not taking chances.
My late father was taken out of the war in a German town like that. 3 months into the war a bomb landed next to him.
He had so many fragments in him the doctors had to leave many of them inside him. Too risky to go in after them.
40% disabled.....lived to be 83.
How fucking old are you that your father was injured in ww2.
Also was he Wehrmacht? Or did he fight for a different side.
For some reason I feel like the guy who surrendered is the actual SS officer, and the young man that got executed was ordered to die in his uniform, in his place.
Now that's something I didn't think about.
Yeah, but his facial expression tells that he is a fierce Aryan SS. But that's subjective.
@@blaisetoure533 I don't deny that, the younger one in the SS uniform definitely looks like a soldier. I just get this conspiratorial feeling from the way the man in glasses is presenting this whole thing, the way he eyes the SS officer. Also that SS uniform doesn't seem to fit the younger soldier very well. I'm sure I'm wrong, but it may be an even more interesting scene if these american soldiers are so bloodthirsty that they don't even realize that they've made a mistake and let an SS officer go free, while killing one of his subordinates. It would mesh with the themes of the film, I feel.
@@TheSolitaryEye Don't you forget he had a broken arm. How could he put his uniform on and then treat him with bandages. If the other one was the real officer, he would choose someone else. Also, I think he is probably a school teacher, who is allowed to learn these kids about the Nazi propaganda.
I highly doubt that, that’s far too cowardly
Love how this movie doesn't try to make the allies into angels, shows that war blurs the line of morality for everyone involved.

"It's only cruel to prolong an animal's suffering"
I’ve seen a lot of complaints about the AT gun missing in these scene on other clips, claiming that it was unrealistic from that range and just assumed they were right, but watching it now it very clearly did hit, it just struck an angled section of armour from an unoportune angle and glanced off instead of penetrating.
That’s quite realistic, it’s actually exactly why tank armour is so angular, to deflect rounds rather than trying to stop them
I hate those kinds of complaints, honestly. It missed, there's no "it should've" or "it would've". The crew, in this story, screwed up the shot. That happened, in fact most tanks and guns in WWII expended several rounds, sometimes up to ten, per actual kill. I've watched a lot of documentaries, and in a lot of them, crews count themselves lucky that the enemy they faced whiffed their shot. They should've been killed, but the enemy just didn't manage. It's not unrealistic, it's war. I swear people are so used to video game statistics these days that they can't understand the human factor.
It has always been so strange to me that at the start of the war, so many countries seemed to have no clue about angled armor. The more the angle Btw, the less thick it has to be, thus making a tank a lot lighter.
A perfect tank would be all angled and round.
@@mutteringmale read more about it, it`s not that simple, a tank with armored armour has to be bigger due to the angled armor plates, that`s why the engineers who designed tiger I made the decision to not angle the armour, if they did, then there would be not enough place for the crew and ammunition and the rest of equipment inside the tank if it was to be the same size
@@FawkHoof It just show how stupid those designers were. Make the tank less heavy by having angled armor, which can be much thinner and walla! All the space you need.
Speaking of which, I see so many military combat armored vehicles which still haven't figured out the ratio of angle vs penetrating strength...you go online, type that into search and the tables are all there.
In SciFi, written by very smart futuratists with degrees up the ying yang, tanks are polyhedrons or similar.
Yeah, it's not that countries didn't understand the benefits of angled armor- engineers had been angling armor on battleships and fortresses for literally centuries. But the problem is how you fit that angle onto a vehicle without compromising weight, crew/equipment space, or other factors. It's just like welded vs. cast armor- the designers _knew_ that fully-cast turrets were better, but the technical ability to _do_ that just wasn't there for the most part. That's why it took time, and many failed iterations of designs, to figure out how to do it in a way that worked.

@@brucetucker4847 FDR actively planned and orchestrated the events that led to American entry into the war.
Lend leasing the Soviets
Embargoing trade with Imperial Japan while they were at war with the Kuomintang, Warlords, and Communists
Ignoring warnings from British Intelligence about an impending attack on Pearl Harbor, knowing full well that the cost of those American lives would seemingly justify American entry into the war
@@techelitesareadisease8816 There were no warnings about an impending attack on Pearl Harbor, there were warnings about an impending attack somewhere in the Pacific, probably the Philippines but no one was sure. The British were breaking the GERMAN codes and the US was reading Japanese diplomatic traffic, neither country had any ability to read Japanese military traffic at this time (and in any case the Pearl Harbor plans were never discussed over radio, the attack force remained in Japan and plans were sent and discussed via couriers or secure land lines until it left on its mission, after which there was no communication to or from the attack force except the final; go code, "Climb Mt. Niitaka."
And imposing economic sanctions isn't starting a war. The EU had a minor trade spat with the US last year, is that the same as if they lobbed missiles at NYC? Yes, the US did things that escalated tensions with japan, just like Japan did things - like massacring hundreds of thousands of civilians in Nanjing, sinking a US Navy gunboat, and invading Indochina - to escalate tensions with the US and the rest of the world. None of that changes the fact that Japan was 100% responsible for making the decision to start a war.
I've watched this movie multiple times over the years, and it JUST dawned on my the significance of "Hey Angel, this one's yours!". The executioner's fave is eerily hidden....the soldier is referring to the Angel of Death who has come to execute the SS officer for his crimes. I really think that's why the mysterious executioner's name is 'Angel'. He's referred to no where else in the movie.

you got that for hanging kids?
"Bravery"
Still, a war crime.
My favorite theory I once read online was the old man with the flag was really the SS officer and swapped clothes with the other guy dressed as the SS officer. The old man either lied and said he would be ok since he will be dressed as an officer and will be treated good by the Americans or threatened him and broke his arm to make him do it. Theres no support to the theory at all and I know its some idea someone cooked up, but it's very interesting. In fact thats the only way I can see it everytime I watch this movie now.
The theory falls flat on its face when you realise the SS officer is a lot taller than the mayor waving the flag so the uniform wouldn't have fit him if the theory was true.
@@DominionSorcerer how so?? There is no side by side comparison.
Why bother swapping clothes when you can just take off the uniform?
The SS officer is right there when they're talking in German, so if wasn't actually an SS officer I would think he would say something.
Now I know that the german for "come here" is come here in german accent
Actually, it's "Kommen Sie her."
Well, English is based on german.
@@stevenguy2630 no. English and german come from the same route language. Probably what's now called "ost friesian".

Well, I mean we have had an entire era of Hollywood come and go in that time, the rise of "meta-modern" (what if post-modernism but you hugged your wife at the end?) movies, and the industries ongoing collapse. I could see this being one of the last movies of its kind for some time. Zoomers seem to fucking love WWII, right as millennials are getting into middle-aged dad that loves WWII age and life status, so we will see. I hope to see some movies set in the Yugoslavian theater, stuff in Burma, India, China, the parts of the war that hasn't been done to death since the 1960s. (Northwest Europe 44-45 and Stalingrad).
@@AaronNorris-g3f Agreed. Some of my fav movies recently have been Euro movies; Danish, Polish etc about little known battles and happenings.

But you are right. He was amazing in this role.
2:23 i like that mission accomplished music after that execution shooting
Fr was gonna say the same thing lmaoo, reminded me of the World At War days after you completed a quest ahaha
Two things I love about this scene.
1. Angel. It looks like Angel is the new guy of the infantry group like Norm is to the tank crew, going through his own growth and corruption but with a different crowd and a very different way, Angel is embracing the darker aspects while Norm is pushing against it. The mannerisms, accents, and actions of the infantry resemble Appalachian shooters which brings an interesting dynamic to everything, I like how it draws attention to the differences between the infantry and the tank crews but they still support each other well.
2. Looting. Angel takes a medal from the corpse which no one bats an eye to but they still execute the german for wearing an american jacket. That is beautiful not because of the hypocrisy, but because they know it would result in being executed themselves in case of capture, but don't care. Does a great job at showing the nihilism of a worn out regiment
They did not execute the german for wearing an american jacket LOL. 1. He's wearing a german one and 2. they shot him for being a SS c*cks*cker who hung the kids.
He’s not wearing an American jacket
He's talking about the scene where Brad Pitt forced Norman to execute a German
It's the corporal (who says 'this one's yours Angel') who loots the executed SS Officer not Angel. I think he picked Angel for the task as he carried a fully automatic weapon - better for the job in hand. Also, for me, Angel doesn't have the demeanor of a rookie - the way he shoves the mayor aside, shoots without hesitation and ambles off without a second glance - speaks to me of detachment and casual menace.
@@farmercolm8157 you know what, that's an excellent point

For those that dont know, Willy Pete is tanker slang for a white phosphorous (WP) round, an extremely hot round that is incendiary.
Another type of round that many are unfamiliar with is called a beehive round, which is essentially a big shotgun round. Dont think it was used/ invented in WW2, but was used in Nam.
Cannister round Used for blasting enemy near or on Friendly tanks WW1 Shrapnel not much different
Iirc beehive rounds or something similar were used on Japanese battleships during for anti-aircraft use. They rarely worked though, however one story I’ve heard is that a Japanese battleship captain, I think it was of the Nagato, used beehive rounds to save a nearby ship (I want to say it was Agano but I’m even less sure), and after the war the two captains became drinking buddies
White phosphorous is an incredibly dangerous incendiary compound, similar to very very sticky burning wax. The most notable difference is that it autoignites upon being exposed to air, making it intensely dangerous for whatever poor bastard you fling it at.
Beehive rounds were specialized artillery shells used to clear out wide but close areas. They also saw use as anti-air, but primarily served in Vietnam, where firsthand accounts suggest that artillery positions in danger of being overrun would use beehive rounds to cut down the enemy. One tale in particular says that when an American tank was in danger of being opened and captured by surrounding NVA soldiers, an artillery position hit it with a beehive round, clearing off the vast majority of the attacking soldiers with very little damage to the tank itself (aside from some of the steel darts sticking to it)
@@hueghh3775 I imagine they'd be fairly effective at hitting troops behind cover too, if fused to detonate downward.
@@kbanghart They weren’t used very often in long-range engagements other than against aircraft, from what sources I can find that talk about them. The most famous stories, I’m afraid, are the ones regarding that tank and some batteries that got too close for comfort to PAVN/VC forces. At any rate, I’m mostly sure the design is literally just an upscaled shotgun shell, and not one that could be compared to the standard artillery shell.
At 0:21, Frodo Baggins can be heard saying "Gandalf!"
Hahahaha so true !
My boy Frodo always be out getting Gandalf killed
wtf was that?? lol lmao
Considering the brutality of war, what impresses me is not how bad soldiers can act but how humane they can still act after years of combat and trauma. Taking prisoners and not harming them has been a convention of warfare that has been followed relatively consistently since about the 16th Century in Europe.
Napoleon was noted for how he treated his POWs far better than his enemies did. Although even so, at the end of the Napoleonic Wars tens of thousands of French prisoners were released and thousands emigrated to the USA, particularly the Deep South. You can find many graves of soldiers of the Grand Armee in Louisiana, Georgia etc.
That's what makes this clip so unrealistic. Yeah people step out of line, but a whole platoon just agreeing to shoot a guy in broad daylight? In front of children? yeah dream on hollywood
@@PANDA-vm3tt you think that didn't happen?
@@MightyKondrai Some years back, I read an eyewitness account of how an SS Officer in charge of young Hitler Youth he was going to use as combat troops was captured with his children, suspended from a tree, and beaten to death.
Being in the German Army during WWII was one thing. Being part of the SS, that was another. That was a group that you had to sought out and prove your loyalty to join.
The Burgermeister knew he was condemning that SS officerby answering the American's question, and was glad to do so
Yeah, he was totally done with the bastard hanging children.
I thought there was some real disdain when the mayor said yes. Him and Brad were speaking as equals with their mutual hate for war crimes against children, German or otherwise.
