To Hell and Back is about Audie Murphy (1925--1971), the most decorated American soldier in the entire Second World War. In 1942 he falsified his age to 18 to join the Army and until 1945 he participated in battles on Sicily, at Salerno, Anzio and Rome, and also in southern France and the Alsace region. After the war he suffered from posttraumatic stress disorder ("shell shock") and as one of the first he took a stand for war veterans with such psychological disorders. In 1949 he wrote his autobiography "To Hell And Back" which was filmed in 1955 with Murphy playing himself. Over the next two decades he played in 44 movies. In 1971 he died in a plane crash, in the only 46 years of his life he was awarded with 33 medals, including the Medal of Honor and three Purple Hearts.
I loved those ballista's. Besides the obvious purpose of completely destroying the elves primary tactic of raining arrows to wipe out large numbers of an army, the tails of those ballista are spread out so well that when it lands on the elves it pretty much does exactly what the elves arrow volley was suppose to do.

Audie Murphy, a east Texas farm boy who was so skinny and undersized the Army Infantry BARELY allowed him to enlist after the Marine Corps and Army Paratroopers turned him down. He ended up being the most highly decorated American soldier of WW2, earning EVERY medal for bravery the US Army offers including the Medal of Honor AND the French Croix de Guerre and the Belgian Legion de Merit. 'To hell and back' was his post war autobiography and biopic where he actually played himself.
Shieldwalls are only effective if there's no other way. That was a hastily set up shield wall with open flanks. In my opinion, the sudden jump of the elves saved those dwarves
Riding a G.O.A.T with my battle brothers i would gladly die with my battle brothers. And can we appceaite how the Dwarves tactics and bravery for the frontline is just astounding and a moment for our fallen battle brothers.
Being able to withstand that arrow onslaught with bigger arrows that shatter the fragile elven wood arrows. To be able to see the director's envisioning of the story written in words - This deserves at least an honorable mention in best Unheard of Songs of the 2010's.
@@filipbitala2624 Have you ever shot an arrow that far before? Long Bows that are made to fire that far are incredibly hard to draw back and release for that much range. It'd be impossible for them to be able to re-draw and fire a volley like that in a short repetition, where the Dwarves were using Ballista. They just had to load them and crank the rope back, and it was ready, no strain on the arms or back. Now, if the Elves had been able to consider another option, of changing their volleys into smaller batches, then, they could out time the ballista, but they were in the midst of combat, and a very large rampaging herd of massive goat bull horse creatures, with heavily armored and weaponized, screaming dwarves happened to be approaching at an alarming rate. They were pretty much in training motion mode. Not much room to think about a different tactic, they had to hold to what they knew, so that they could at least try to survive. Its seen even in irl modern day combat even. Regardless of the setting, of it being military, a fistycup bout, or even a simple competitive game. If you are on the ropes, and don't have enough time to think of what to do, your body just resorts to the muscle memory you built into it. For them Elves, it was just everyone firing their arrows at the same time, and then side stepping like a guy lag stepping you on CoD and there is nothing you can do about it cause your internet isn't good enough to outmatch the other's crappy internet.

Yeah, nothing. JUST the best warriors Middle-Earth has ever met. :) They look like retards at the movies, but they are, in theory, the best of the best.
Lore-wise, while elves and dwarves are... not friendly around the time of the Hobbit and LotR, Dwarves and Orcs/Goblins are hated blood enemies. The Mount Gundabad (the place where Durin the First, progenitor of Durin's Folk, had awoken, and thusly the most sacred place of the Dwarves) had been taken by the Orcs and turned into their militarized capital, despite several attempts to dislodge them. Khazad-dûm, also known as Moria, had been the jewel of the Dwarven race, but then it fell to Durin's Bane (a Balrog of Morgoth) and was populated by orcs/goblins. Thror (descendant of Durin) was murdered by Azog in Moria, and upon Thror's decapitated brow Azog carved his name into the flesh and bone. Suffice it to say, that forever burned Azog's name into Dwarven hearts, and kicked off what was called the War of the Dwarves and Orcs. Placed against any foe, a Dwarf would turn his back to them to slay one of the hated and thrice-cursed Orcs. lotr.wikia.com/wiki/War_of_the_Dwarves_and_Orcs
Oldest elf in middle earth was cirdan, over 3,600 years old also in the books there are no twirly whirlies just dwarven armor was too good... Mirkwood is also not good at large scale battles better at skirmish and ambush
and thats why you should never bring bow and arrows to a dwarven ballista fight imagine legolas and his arrows, killing one orc at a time, versus gimli on a ballista, taking them by the dozen, and saying "it doesn't count as only one !"
Elves: You can't defend against our arrows Dwarves: You thought wrong Thranduil: I lost a quarter of my army, so I should use the same tactic they won't see it coming Dwarves: Easy kills
depends on the humans you are referring to there Númenor had humans that could fight on par with elves and dwarfs, but most of them died when it sunk in Lord of the Rings lore there are a few survivors which includes many rangers among them.
the hobbit films may have had their flaws, but i loved the battle of the 5 armies, even with the plot armor and terrible tactics at times. it was awesome and so fun to watch

"Holy hell, those javelins just shredded all of our arrows at once _AND_ punched holes in our lines!" "..." "Everyone, ignore the last three seconds and do the same thing again!"
It actualy was a logical thing to fire again since a balista like that should take a very long time to reload compared to a bow but dwarves appear to be extremly fast at reloading balistas.
what you forget is after the elf lines were blown back by unexpected anti arrow Ballista, the elves are momentarily in shock and need to regroup before firing again, so that gives the Ballistas some extra time. But still the reloading of the Ballistas here is impossibly fast :D
Dwarves have cartridges for their artillery and crossbows if you remember the goats pulling the chariot with the big crossbow attachment and a crank to fire repeatedly.

LimaL Ego and I was really mad when the dwarves had that awesome shield-wall with pikes about to kick some ork butt then the elves pull that jumping s*** in the middle of mele
Read the books that shit doesn't happen dwarfs dont have spearman and they actually look down on them and the fight between dwarfs and elves doesn't happen cause Gandalf stops them before they clash telling them to fight the orcs instead of each other
The fact that the dwarves never backed down when the elves did and had decided to die fighting makes them so honourable. God I literally shrieked in the cinema when the elves finally came to their aid to fight together. This is cinema my friends.
you can see the extreme discipline of the dwarves as they equip themselves with weapons that counter the ranged attack tactics of the elves and have a cavalry of armored goats capable of breaking through shield walls. not only that, when the orcs appeared, the dwarves were undeterred and immediately put up a wall of phalanx shields to effectively stop the surge, only to see the elves driven by their pride in being protected by dwarves causing them to rush the enemies outside the shield wall which would have stopped them successfully... even with this stupid move by the elves, the dwarves quickly changed the defense formation to an attack one to save the elves from being killed by an attack in orca claw. oh, and I forgot to mention the powerful contingent of tanks capable of laying waste to disorderly groups of soldiers along with a repeater crossbow capable of blasting away distracted units.
meelee wins if it can get in meelee range. If the rangers stand in a clump they lose their switfness and the tactile advantage of being a ranger. If the elfs were smart they would spread out, like rangers on a cliff and the rest as decoy on the ground. If that was so the dwarfs can't parry from 2 angles at the same time. They parry the arrows from the ones from the ground, but then the ones coming from the cliffs can just keep firing and the dwarfs can't do shit. Noob elfs think too one- dimensional. The dwarfs are miles ahead of them in terms of actually planning strategy, counter attacking etc.

Thrown into combat
Where bodies lie piled
Hides his emotions
His blood's running cold
Just like his victories
His story unfolds

A white light
If there'd be
Any glory in war
Let it rest
On men like him
Who went to hell and came back
Crosses grow on Anzio
Where no soldiers sleep
And where hell is six feet deep
That death does wait
There's no debate
So charge and attack
Going to hell and back
A man of the 15th
A man of can do
Friends fall around him
And yet he came through
Let them fall face down
If they must die
Making it easier
To say goodbye
Bright
A white light
If there'd be
Any glory in war
Let it rest
On men like him
Who went to hell and came back
Crosses grow on Anzio
Where no soldiers sleep
And where hell is six feet deep
That death does wait
There's no debate
So charge and attack
Going to hell and back
Oh gather round me
And listen while I speak
Of a war
Where hell is six feet deep
And all along the shore
Where cannons still roar
They're haunting my dreams
They're still there when I sleep
Crosses grow on Anzio
Where no soldiers sleep
And where hell is six feet deep
That death does wait
There's no debate
So charge and attack
Going to hell and back
Honestly I just wanna die screaming while stabbing the enemy leader
Audie Murphy, a east Texas farm boy who was so skinny and undersized the Army Infantry BARELY allowed him to enlist after the Marine Corps and Army Paratroopers turned him down. He ended up being the most highly decorated American soldier of WW2, earning EVERY medal for bravery the US Army offers including the Medal of Honor AND the French Croix de Guerre and the Belgian Legion de Merit. 'To hell and back' was his post war autobiography and biopic where he actually played himself.
>Dwarves: set up shieldwall
>Elves: Yeet over it to fight the orcs in melee
WTF
Elves are suicidal and dwarves are strategic
Elves be like:
*Suicide is badass*
If they would have emptied all their arrows first they would have one that fight but like helms deep they charged and lost
Right? The elves and dwarves now are best of buds once the orcs show up.
Shieldwalls are only effective if there's no other way. That was a hastily set up shield wall with open flanks. In my opinion, the sudden jump of the elves saved those dwarves
Riding a G.O.A.T with my battle brothers i would gladly die with my battle brothers. And can we appceaite how the Dwarves tactics and bravery for the frontline is just astounding and a moment for our fallen battle brothers.
“Let them fall face-down, if they must die- making it easier to say goodbye.”
Jeez, that line gets me every time.
Being able to withstand that arrow onslaught with bigger arrows that shatter the fragile elven wood arrows. To be able to see the director's envisioning of the story written in words - This deserves at least an honorable mention in best Unheard of Songs of the 2010's.
The look on Thranduil's face when the twidly-widly's not only stopped the first volley of arrows but also wiped out large groups of his soldiers.
Realising that half of his army is now useless
@@sirsmiles1915 Why never build an army where the main battlegroup are archers. Oopsie.

@@filipbitala2624 Have you ever shot an arrow that far before? Long Bows that are made to fire that far are incredibly hard to draw back and release for that much range. It'd be impossible for them to be able to re-draw and fire a volley like that in a short repetition, where the Dwarves were using Ballista. They just had to load them and crank the rope back, and it was ready, no strain on the arms or back. Now, if the Elves had been able to consider another option, of changing their volleys into smaller batches, then, they could out time the ballista, but they were in the midst of combat, and a very large rampaging herd of massive goat bull horse creatures, with heavily armored and weaponized, screaming dwarves happened to be approaching at an alarming rate. They were pretty much in training motion mode. Not much room to think about a different tactic, they had to hold to what they knew, so that they could at least try to survive. Its seen even in irl modern day combat even. Regardless of the setting, of it being military, a fistycup bout, or even a simple competitive game. If you are on the ropes, and don't have enough time to think of what to do, your body just resorts to the muscle memory you built into it. For them Elves, it was just everyone firing their arrows at the same time, and then side stepping like a guy lag stepping you on CoD and there is nothing you can do about it cause your internet isn't good enough to outmatch the other's crappy internet.
Can we just appreciate how the dwarves immediately reacted and prepared while the elves just sat there in shock

You can legit see the Elves also falling into group formations as the Dwarfs pass by?
Battle: is ongoing
Dwarves: (casually pass an axe around)
As soon as the Orcs appeared out of holes, the Dwarves yelled:
- "My God! Look at that amount of EXP!"
- "Great! I will finally be able to use that Lvl100 armour!"
- "Forget about the armour! We'll be able to use thoseMithrill swords!"
This is extremely well put together, this is absolutely fantastic. Thank you.

Dwarves have the best anti-air cover (durin-400) and goatized infantry.
Shouldn't it be called goatized cavalry? Since they are technically riding and thereby not infantry.
Those goats when attacking the orcs. Goats: save some orcs for us to.
They could do with more slayers though

Lore-wise, while elves and dwarves are... not friendly around the time of the Hobbit and LotR, Dwarves and Orcs/Goblins are hated blood enemies. The Mount Gundabad (the place where Durin the First, progenitor of Durin's Folk, had awoken, and thusly the most sacred place of the Dwarves) had been taken by the Orcs and turned into their militarized capital, despite several attempts to dislodge them. Khazad-dûm, also known as Moria, had been the jewel of the Dwarven race, but then it fell to Durin's Bane (a Balrog of Morgoth) and was populated by orcs/goblins. Thror (descendant of Durin) was murdered by Azog in Moria, and upon Thror's decapitated brow Azog carved his name into the flesh and bone.
Suffice it to say, that forever burned Azog's name into Dwarven hearts, and kicked off what was called the War of the Dwarves and Orcs. Placed against any foe, a Dwarf would turn his back to them to slay one of the hated and thrice-cursed Orcs.

Elves: "Wait, that's illegal."
and thats why you should never bring bow and arrows to a dwarven ballista fight
imagine legolas and his arrows, killing one orc at a time, versus gimli on a ballista, taking them by the dozen, and saying "it doesn't count as only one !"
The king’s expression... “Timeless and memorable classic.”
The battle of the five armies soon became the battle of the two armies. The armies of Mordor and the armies of middle earth.
Its called 5 armies because there are literally 5 different armies in it. Men, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, and Eagles
I do agree I broke to the two armies because they’re armies form two different parts of the map.
love how its basically all dwarves and yet they have that elven sounding flute in there. BEAUTIFUL

@@Apocalypse9696 "dwarven"
"Holy hell, those javelins just shredded all of our arrows at once _AND_ punched holes in our lines!"
"..."
"Everyone, ignore the last three seconds and do the same thing again!"
It actualy was a logical thing to fire again since a balista like that should take a very long time to reload compared to a bow but dwarves appear to be extremly fast at reloading balistas.
what you forget is after the elf lines were blown back by unexpected anti arrow Ballista, the elves are momentarily in shock and need to regroup before firing again, so that gives the Ballistas some extra time. But still the reloading of the Ballistas here is impossibly fast :D
Alexander Zamani-Alaei I actualy think they just fired once and copy pasted the footage twice to make it seem longer
Dwarves have cartridges for their artillery and crossbows if you remember the goats pulling the chariot with the big crossbow attachment and a crank to fire repeatedly.
If only my artillery in total war fired that fast

I was mad af when orcs arrived. Dwarfs were about to destroy them elves backstabbers
LimaL Ego and I was really mad when the dwarves had that awesome shield-wall with pikes about to kick some ork butt then the elves pull that jumping s*** in the middle of mele
Read the books that shit doesn't happen dwarfs dont have spearman and they actually look down on them and the fight between dwarfs and elves doesn't happen cause Gandalf stops them before they clash telling them to fight the orcs instead of each other
I love the fact that the instant the orcs arrive on the battle field the dwarves and elves work side by side perfectly
The fact that the dwarves never backed down when the elves did and had decided to die fighting makes them so honourable. God I literally shrieked in the cinema when the elves finally came to their aid to fight together. This is cinema my friends.
0:44 his face XD "oh fuck our trademark weapon is useless!!"
Dwarves : *Set up a shield wall*
Elves : *"Hento Neika Banzaiiiii"*
you can see the extreme discipline of the dwarves as they equip themselves with weapons that counter the ranged attack tactics of the elves and have a cavalry of armored goats capable of breaking through shield walls.
not only that, when the orcs appeared, the dwarves were undeterred and immediately put up a wall of phalanx shields to effectively stop the surge, only to see the elves driven by their pride in being protected by dwarves causing them to rush the enemies outside the shield wall which would have stopped them successfully... even with this stupid move by the elves, the dwarves quickly changed the defense formation to an attack one to save the elves from being killed by an attack in orca claw.
oh, and I forgot to mention the powerful contingent of tanks capable of laying waste to disorderly groups of soldiers along with a repeater crossbow capable of blasting away distracted units.

meelee wins if it can get in meelee range. If the rangers stand in a clump they lose their switfness and the tactile advantage of being a ranger. If the elfs were smart they would spread out, like rangers on a cliff and the rest as decoy on the ground. If that was so the dwarfs can't parry from 2 angles at the same time. They parry the arrows from the ones from the ground, but then the ones coming from the cliffs can just keep firing and the dwarfs can't do shit. Noob elfs think too one- dimensional. The dwarfs are miles ahead of them in terms of actually planning strategy, counter attacking etc.

@God of the Eternal light. It might be. Just recently read about how the Vikings may not all have been the Blonde haired warriors we've been told.
I always liked how the dwarves just rush to stop fighting the elves and set up a wall against the orcs. They have their home to protect from evil.
The coordination of dwarves with elves is amazing when faced with same foe is amazing...
