Happy Veteran's Day! Thank you for your service! Let's hear your shoutouts for the Veterans you know! Or if you are one 🪖
Missles? Really bruh. Shells
The M4 had a gasoline engine instead of diesel which made it burst into flames waaaaaay quicker. Also the armour sucked
I think it would be neat to see every WWII movie snipped together to tell every story in chronological order from start to finish. Obviously some would overlap but each event would have to have a different start time so it should be able to make a somewhat coherent story out of it. It could even have the planning out parts just before the sequences.
One of my major complaints about war movies or even history lessons on wars is how little connection is made to other events. Seems very chaotic when if you pull out far enough should make plenty of sense.
Anyway, it's just an idea.
*how come the intelligence community nvr gets a shout out?* wouldnt even have your precious wars if it wasnt for us. _JC
@@JCResDoc94 Smart intel guys would never out themselves on the internet.
My Dad served in a tank during wwll. He never talked about what he experienced and he passed before this movie came out. I never knew what he went thru till I saw this. You were the best Dad, miss you every day. You were part of our Greatest Generation
The movie isn't realistic. Being a US tanker was among the "safest" combat jobs. Only 2% of US armoured crew became casualties. This compares to 18% of US frontline infantry in Europe who were just plain killed.
The greatest generation. God rest your father
@@All-Fur-Coat_No-Trousers Thank you Jake, God Bless You Sir
America is whack
Honestly you still probably don't know what he went through the movie ain't accurate at least not what he went through and I don't even know what he went through but it's not this
35:42 this is a tough film to watch, but this is one of my favorite parts, it's like the German who peeked under the tank and saw Norman, was the German version of Norman, he looked young, inexperienced, and shocked to see someone under there. just like Norman couldn't bring himself to kill the German when joining the tank team, had to be forced to shoot. another great reaction! 👍
The German was prolly experienced enough. Saw the look in Norman's eyes, and knew he was out of the fight.
@@stewartjas68 nah man you completely missed the point man
look at that german soldiers face
hes so young
he was norman but on the other side and just like norman he finds himself on a situation hed rather not be in
in war there is no mercy
especially not if the enemy is piercing the heart of your country on bombing your civillians
@@tavish4699 Exactly.
FR!
Abrams crewmember here. Modern day American tanks have four crewmembers: the TC (tank commander - Brad Pitt) giving all the commands and controlling a .50 cal machine gun.
The gunner (Shia) is the 2nd highest ranking soldier on the tank. He controls the main gun and a side coax machine gun. He and the TC work closely together to make sure nothing is blown up through miscommunication (you can see an example of this at 15:15 "Bible, follow my burst").
Next in rank is the driver ("Mexican guy") who gets to hang out and read magazines while stopped until suddenly he has to drive 60 mph in an 80 ton behemoth down unfamiliar roads while looking only through a green vision night sight in the rain. The driver's hole has its pros and cons.
Finally, you have the loader, or the tank bitch (hillbilly guy). This is usually the new guy and he is in charge of all the stuff no one else wants to do. Maintenance, loading the main gun, fixing broken track, working the comms. He usually gets messed with, sent on impossible tasks like "Go get me a sample of the tank exhaust in this plastic bag" and "Go get me a box of reticles" (a reticle is the overlay lines you see when you look down the sight, not a physical thing you can get).
There is no longer an assistant driver or whatever Norman was.
Norman was a bow gunner!
My great great uncle served in a tank in ww2, his entire crew died except for him, and his tank was disabled. He was stuck in the tank hiding hoping we could push the lines to rescue him. German soldiers started patrolling the area for prisoners and to make sure what was dead was actually dead. My uncle hid under the bodies of his crew and the germans dropped a grenade in. He had minor shrapnel wounds and it effected his hearing but he survived. He was a shell of the man he was before the war (understandably) and he always shook. He was a great man and told me other stories that were much more about the beauty in a tragic war. Thank you all of our veterans for everything you do for us
I love how during the end the medic rescuing him says, "You're a hero, buddy." and it dissociates with "you know that?" No. He just survived. The real heroes are the people that didn't make it out alive. Survivors guilt as best as it can be portrayed. 36:37
One day, decades ago, I met a man while we were both waiting for a bus in Kansas City. The man was from Poland, and when the Nazis invaded on September 1, 1939, he ran away east and joined the Soviet army because he didn't want to be killed by the Nazis. I said, Wow! you won the war! He said, "I was a World War 2 survivor. There are no winners." When he was in a displaced persons camp after the was was over, President Truman let Soviet army veterans who were born in Poland come to the United States. That's how he ended up in Kansas City.
I don’t understand the “you’re not a hero unless you die” mindset. I can understand the humility behind a person saying that about themselves. But saying it about another is kind of wild.
i would hate to be called a hero after all that
Every soldier who fought for his country is a hero. It doesn't matter if it's Germany or the United States, nor does death doesn't matter. The only bad thing is the Nazis and Hitler. War is terrible. Wrongs are always made by politicians
He is still a hero for stepping into the war dead or alive.
This is a movie that illustrates in _glaring_ detail one of the harsh, sobering, unchanging realities of war. It's not about being macho and cool. Being good at war is about being prepared to _lose_ people; people _around_ you; people you're in _charge_ of. It's about being prepared to tell their parents that they're never going to see their kids again because of actions _you_ took. And this much is true whether you win or lose.
Spent a number of years in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is absolutely true.
It's pretty short on historical accuracy, but the performances are phenomenal. My grandfather was a Sherman tank commander in the Pacific theatre - he had four tanks shot out from under him on Iwo Jima. I was the only one he told all his stories to.
yea but that was a real tiger in that field, the legendary tiger 131 who still runs to this day
You should write down his stories, at least what you remember. Every experience from history is a treasure. I didn't know until about 10 years after my grandfather had died that he was one of McArthur's personal drivers. I WISH I could have talked to him about it but it's too late now. Your grandfather's stories are history that deserves to be remembered.
Audie Murphy!
"You're going to have one great love in your life." Oh damn.. He was actually right. Never thought of this before. Ouch.
The lines on my hands tell me that I probably shouldn't be allowed to handle anything sharp.
I'm a second generation Marine tank crewman. My father was a driver on an M48A3 in the first platoon of Marine tanks to get to Vietnam in '65. I was a gunner on an M60A1 in the only company of Marine tanks to float over to the Persian Gulf in '90 as part of an amphibious squadron.
Some would argue about equipment/tactical inaccuracies in this movie but I think most of that is nitpicking. This is the most visually accurate depiction of tank combat I've seen. It also does a good job showing what it's like to be a part a tank crew.
Between my father and I, we've experienced most of what the crew of Fury went through, some of it we'll talk about, some only to our shrinks, and some we never will. But I don't mind being asked. If any of you have any questions about tanking in general or Vietnam or the Gulf War specifically, please ask. We have our own stories to tell and if I don't want to answer I'll say so with no hard feelings.
There will not be a third generation of Marine tanker in my family. The Marine Corps, in all their infinite wisdom, has decided to disband their remaining tank units and retired the MOS.
Lastly, I want to give a belated Happy Birthday to all the Devil Dogs reading this. Semper Fi!

Thank you for your service and for your dads as well.
Thank you and your dad for choosing to do that
What did you like most and what did you like least about the m60?
This instantly became one of my favorite military/war movies when I saw it. Watch it on a pretty regular basis with the surround sound cranked up.
My uncle was a tank commander in Vietnam and had his face caved in by a tank. They sent him to paris for surgery and had a plate put in to uncave it. I never new it until I was in my 20s you would never know. Loved hearing his war stories. Passed 2 years ago during the pandemic from issues caused by agent orange during his time. Happy veterans day and thank everyone for their service there os no USA without you!!!
My father was a LRRP in the 1st cavalry division in Vietnam. He told me once about a time when they did a night insertion by helicopter. He said they moved a ways from their insertion point and set up a position for the night. After about an hour of setting there all hell let loose. Where they stopped was about 2-300 yards to the front of 3 tanks from the 11th armored cav that they didn’t know where there. The tanks were carrying out a fire mission unaware there was a LRRP team to their front. My dad said it was a scramble to get ahold of their base and have them contact the 11th armored cav so they could then notify those tanks of their position before one of the tanks spotted them and mopped them up.
@@gumbomudderx7503 thank god the spotter didnt see them. Thank your dad for me for his service Nam was no fucking joke and all men who were there deserved so much better during and after that war.
That Tiger Tank that decimated the squad under War Daddy's command wasn't CGI. That was Tiger Tank 131, that was disabled when a round hit the turret and locked it in place.
It was fully restored and is one of the few Tigers in full running condition. It's on display at Bovington museum in the UK.
Been down a few times to Bovington always give 131 a pat she looks the part definitely see how the tiger would cause fear on the battlefield last time they had a T34/76 next to it that tank looked so small and across from Fury and the tiger they had the jagdTiger that thing is a monster. I would not want to be in a tank on the battlefield knowing I could meet one of these machines.
Tiger 131 is the only functional tiger tank in the world. Bovington tank museum helped out so much by loaning that tank and Fury to the movie company
@@prollins6443 and the Fury crew probably ruined Bovington ever doing that again by giving the tanks back in horribly poor conditions in terms of cleanliness.
@@YourGodStalin really? I hadn't heard about that. That sucks. I watched a few videos of Jingles visiting tankfest and want to go myself. But that would just be a sideshow to a much larger vacation
@@prollins6443 yeah, all the mud, dirt, and grime seen in the movie, they left on the tanks when they gave them back and Bovington was, pardon the pun, furious about it.
Happy Veteran's Day to those who served. Fury is am amazing movie
I was in the military but never was in combat, but shoutout to my pops, both grandpops, and both great grandfathers who actually did.
This is a rare movie that portrays a very close historical accuracy of a Sherman tank crew against the German Tiger, Panther, and Panzer tanks. Hands off to the consultants in this film to keep them really accurate. They actually used a real Tiger tank from the British Museum in the sequence. The only reason we won, in the end, is the Sherman tank is easy to build and mass produce whereas the Tiger and King Tiger tanks were over-engineered and overcomplicated which took longer to replace. Logistics wins wars.
The German 88mm main gun was a demon of an anti-tank gun in the war that was over twice the distance and pen of any Allied tank main gun at that time. Sherman's main gun of 75mm barely pen a Tiger in the weak spots on the side and rear until they upgraded to 76mm main guns. Fury had a 76mm main gun while the other tanks had 75mm. It was a nice moment to showcase the different Sherman variants in the film.
The only item that does stand true is a really experienced Tigar crew that used its main gun range and accuracy over the Sherman to its advantage. The war saw many Ace Tiger crews based on these tactics. This is why Fury fired a smoke shell and closed the distance to get closer to increase the chances of a pen of the Tiger's armor. It was not uncommon for it to take three or more Shermans to get destroyed before the Tiger crew is overwhelmed. These losses were common. Tank crews at that time in a machine that is purely analog had balls of steel fighting so close in combat unlike modern tanks today that can laser accurate a target over 5km easy.
I remember a WW2 PC game I played. There was a battle around a crossroads and a disabled tank. The game prided itself on it's accuracy. and at the end it played a series of real WW2 battlefield photographs and screenshots, to show how they matched. One photo was the tank at the crossroads and the screenshot matched it perfectly.
I believe it was "Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30".
That game was really focused on "realistic" para squad tactics (well apart from squad infinite ammo supplies)
The devs recreated a lot of location from arial photographs and the field reports of the 101st, even the mission where two para (you and Red IIRC) managed to clear a compound/village alone was based on an actual field report.
one thing i really love about this movie is i think it is about the only movie that used a real Tiger (instead of a mockup). The Tiger from this movie can be seen at the Bovington Tank Museum.
Another is, search for "the tiger that wouldnt die" here on youtube. A great illustration of the battering the Tiger could take. In this, a Tiger spent 6 hours in battle in Russia. After being hit multiple times. The Tiger managed to drive back 60km to safety. There they counted up the hits. The Tiger was hit 252 times from various calibres.
That “two chocolate bars” line at 9:42 had me LMAO throughout. But that aside, this movie is truly a very detailed depiction of the horrors that human beings went through during this war. Everyone performed impeccably and I’m certainly glad I got to see you experience the rollacoaster of emotions that I went through watching this the first time.
I Served on a Modern Tank in the Army 2017-2021. the M1A2 Abrams Tank. This movie is very near and dear to my heart, it reflects the dynamic of a close knit crew very well during the hardships of conflict.
Best Job I Ever Had.
I remember going to see this film with my dad, whose grandad was a tank operator in WWII. He used to tell my dad stories about it, and the thing that always stuck with him was how he'd seen people he served with literally blow up right next to him, yet the worst injury he ever got was when he was sitting on top of a tank, the lid fell, breaking his pinky finger.
13:32... "yeah... this was not the job he was expecting". I know you said it in the context of that particular scene but in truth none of the folks that were there (or in any war since) were expecting what they saw or what they had to do. We cannot thank our servicemen and women enough. It is on us now to remember and to never let it happen again. Sadly, we forget too quickly.
That happened a lot. The training pipeline in the US just couldn't keep up with losses. There were cases of sending clerks and some unfit men into the infantry, even though they could barely handle their rifles. A few times after D-Day, repaired tanks were filled with nontankers and sent out. They didn't last long at all.
I’ve watched this movie so many times and love it. My fav scene is the scene in the German girls apartment. You can see that scene means the most to Brad Pitt’s character. It’s important to him because for a few minutes he felt like a human being again. Away from it all, a clean shave, eggs, cigarette and some company. He just wanted a pause from all the running and shooting. You can see the sadness on his face when they call his squad back… I think he knows he won’t get that again. It’s poetic.
The last part is based around the true history 3rd battle of Ypres on the 22nd of August 1917 a British Mark IV Tank F41 the Fray Bentos , The 9 man crew was trapped inside the broken tank in no mans land fighting off waves of Germans for over 60 hours.

69463 Gunner Frederick C. Arthurs
69571 Gunner Percy Edgar Budd
69648 Gunner James H. Binley
69524 Lance Corporal Ernest Hans Braedy
Only Lance Corporal Ernest Hans Braedy was killed the rest heavily wounded but made it back to British lines, Percy Budd later returned to the war after recovery of his wounds he died on the 25th August 1918, aged 22.
You can't compare that. The british tank was stuck between the two frontlines (no mans land) and was fired at from the german and british trenches (from what I read ). Mr. Brad Pitt here easily could have abandoned his disabled tank like every tank crew with a clear mind, fall back to friendly lines and recrew a new tank. He would have saved the lifes of his men instead of killing them for no reason in a battle he never could have win in a disabled tank. This battle in the end is so dumb, it hurts to watch ... like the whole movie....
@@ratatoskr8190 Your right British snipers thought the crew was dead and the Germans was trying to take the tank so fired on anyone near the tank including its crew, What i am saying is no real story of an American tank had anything close to that scenario to take anything from for that part of Furys script, The British tank is the only true story that comes close where they could have taken inspiration from or elements of.
One is real one is fantasy....well researched by the way.
Good choice for Veteran's Day. My father served in WWII in France. He died in 2013. This movie was not necessarily in great detail, but it did show lots of general battle scenes. It did show the great chaos of war, and man's humanity and inhumanity to man.
My grandad was at Dunkirk the frigate he was serving on had it's propellers jammed with seaweed so he and another chap dived in to free them potentially saving the ship he was awarded a medal for his bravery it makes me so proud that he was my grandad.
I was a tanker 1st Cav. This is one of my favorite movies. The incoherent conversation the crew had while driving down the road is one of the things I miss about being a tanker. Some of the conversations are funny as hell but typically in a dark way. I was coonass on my tank, mostly because I'm from Louisiana so my crew mates made that connection.
You might try "Danger Close" about the Australians in the Vietnam War. It focuses on one of their major battles, and I don't think it has been reacted to yet.
The Sherman tank had five crewmen. The commander, gunner, and loader in the turret, and the driver and bow gunner. The latter also assisted the driver and sometimes also worked with the radios. Many WWII tanks had five crew.
"I'm your wife, I definately require 2 chocolate bars" 🤣🤣🤣
“Saving Private Ryan”…”Hacksaw Ridge”…”We Were Soldiers”
For Memorial Day my new annual tradition is to watch “Taking Chance” starring Kevin Bacon…not an actual war movie…he is an officer escorting a fallen soldier home…superb
This was such a wonderful reaction!
I served with the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) as an infantryman for 4 years.
The Old Guard is an incredibly unique unit as we were mainly focused on conducting military funerals in the Arlington National Cemetery and guarding the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier. The Old Guard also serves as the official escort to the President.
I never guarded the tomb (that's a special assignment within the Old Guard) but as a member of a line company I conducted thousands of funerals. There are so many soldiers from WWII in the cemetery.
What these men went through in WWII... those men were a whole different breed of warrior, the best of the best. It's an honor to have served in the same army as such prestigious men.
Fun fact, the Tiger tank used in this movie is Tiger 131, a German Tiger I heavy tank captured by the British 48th Royal Tank Regiment in Tunisia during World War II. It is preserved at The Tank Museum in Bovington, England and is the only operating Tiger tank in the world.
This movie is great, my 3rd fav WW2 movie after Private Ryan and Enemy at the Gates, but it could have taken number 2 if they didn't cut it down so harshly to get it to that favorable just over 2hrs theater length. Wardaddy's motivation for wanting to stay makes sense if you know that he's a felon who got his girlfriend and brother killed in a drunk driving accident after getting in a bar fight and was ordered to fight for his country by a judge to get out of serving jailtime which as common practice in WW2, commuting felony sentences in exchange for military service. He really has nothing to go back to. A lot of other little character moments in the deleted scenes too that bring the movie together.
I was in the service from 1987 to 1993. One of the most outstanding Marines I ever met went in just like that. He never told me what he did to get in trouble, but the judge gave him a choice between jail or military service. He took to it like a fish to water. Semper Fi Sergeant Wall, wherever you are!
“Ideals are peaceful, history is violent.”
Don’t know how true it is but I read somewhere that Brad Pitt adlibbed that line. Adlibbed or not, I love it.
Well it makes little sense. Some ideals are violent, just as Japan proved during WWII. Their "ideal" was that Japan would be a master race in Asia, subjugating all other Asians. That's not peaceful.
10:42 Possibly he was firing indirectly. The idea is the bullets go on an arc trajectory, raining down heavy on a general area. It was a common tactic in WWI, used to harass enemy trenches and camps.
Another good historical movie, slightly different time, slightly different battleground, but still with some really good historical representation.
"Master and Commander" with Russell Crow 😉
The only thing really accurate about this movie is a lot of the interactions within the tank, maybe some of the banding between the crew, and the horror or war. That's about it, though. It's a fictional movie in a partial historical setting more than a historical movie.
Shout out to my grandfather who served in WW II combat engineer in France and Germany. My mother served in the Women's Army Corps. My older sister US Army Signal Corps. My older brother US Army Combat Engineer. My younger brother served in the US Marines. My younger sister served in the US Marines. I served in the US Army as well. My two other sisters did not serve directly but married servicemen, one in the US Navy and the other US Army. My eldest son watched a pre-screening of this movie at Ft. Benning GA while attending the Office's Armor School. Brad Pitt was there and answered questions and hung out with the young Lieutenants. Thank you for reacting to this movie.
34:10 "Who's this fucker?"
Classic reaction.
Love this movie. "I'm scared too." Line gets me every time.
When I was in the army (Norway), we had both WW1 and WW2 American M2 .50 Cal machine guns, as well as German MG3 machine guns (updated MG42). After service, I bought some military surplus gear to have at home, and the backpack I got had "Omaha Beach" written on it. Sitting in storage for so many decades.
We're just now starting to replace our WW1 and WW2 M2 .50 Cal. What are we replacing them with? New M2 .50 Cal guns. Ready for another 100 years or service.
As a U.S. Navy veteran, I'd like you to know how much it means to be recognized in even a small way. Thank you for thanking us. And thanks to all my fellow veterans and those currently serving and will serve in the future.
"Wow", indeed. What a movie. I think it ranks right up there with "Saving Private Ryan" in portraying the emotional impact of war. Great reaction. It's hard to put words to a movie like this.
As at two tour Vietnam combat infantry veteran (0331 machine guns) I worked with tanks a bit my first tour in Vietnam. Tanks usually require infantry support since they are sitting ducks when buttoned up. Infantry didn't usually like that duty since "tanks draw fire!!" Very good movie.

That scene where Norman had the meltdown about shooting the dead bodies. You're absolutely right about that. His MOS Is a non combat Job he wasn't trained to do what they were asking him to do If he was put where he Was supposed to go he would be at headquarters doing things like Typing the morning report And typing up orders
hey guys great reaction. this might be the best ww2 movie i've ever seen. lot's of love. thanks to all vets for their service. all the respect
It's right up there with Saving private ryan and hacksaw ridge
No love for Das Boot? Absolutely pant shitting terror.
@@Iymarra I actually never got around to seeing that one. it's on the list though. memphis Belle is awesome to
@@Rand_Althor1966 if youre looking at watching Das Boot, its worthwhile to watch the Directors cut, the 3.5hour long movie. Its way better than the theatrical release.
@@johnlove3461 thanks i will
My grandad was a paratrooper in WW2, he told me that he had no problem shooting at Germans that were shooting at him but he had no desire to kill anyone that wasn't threatening him or his mates.
How'd he react to Inglorious Basterds?? That's disrespectful to history and German ww2 veterans. Fk Tarantino for disrespecting history and vtes. He has no idea of stalingrad
I'm a Iraq Veteran X2 They were my hero's growing up and Shout out to Vietnam Veterans WELCOME HOME !!
I am a former Army M1-A1 Abrams crewman. I fought in Iraq in 1991. In this movie you are looking at an M-4 Sherman. The crew are as follows, Driver asst driver/bow gunner, loader, gunner, and tank commander. In my case we have 4. Driver, Loader, Gunner and Commander, and we are all trained to operate all positions. And yes the losses suffered by US tank crews was beyond staggering, in many cases over 100%. The Sherman was a decent tank, the Germans were far superior and their crews massively experienced. We won through attrition, they made a few thousand of most model tanks, the M-4 alone we made 58,000 in under 4 years.
It's Veteran's Day.
Let's honor those that fought for our country.
Great Recap, i agree with almost everything. As German, with 2 Grandfathers also battling this Grounds, and in the East. Its down to Instincts, and trained Moves, Situation Awareness and mostly Luck, to get out of it, to recall , what they told me. And what Films dont tell, that they didnt went Rampage for Hours. Simply not possible. But as you only got 120 Minutes to tell an Story, this had 90 brilliant for me(long Version not Cinema cut).
Only the last 15 Minutes plus Tiger Kill are pure USA Hero Fantasy. An Tiger going Infight, well he could have snapped them all from 1,5 Km to up to 2,7 KM with this Gun, and even if he would have stand in this Bush, first would have been Lead Tank with big Gun to be bumped, then last in Column, then Rest. Only Move would be going backwards, as the Front Armor werent penetrable even for the Fury Version with the enhanced Gun. But the Tiger wouldnt have been there anyhow, as Air Force spotter would already reported him an tankbuster cracked him from above. Much more there would have been the Chance, that it was ermpty, because of the overcomplicated Design this Tanks mostly werent cracked, but simply left with technically Failures:)
Sure, SS were furious and the Troops with the heaviest Losses, but not at all Dump. After at most 5 Minutes in the Crossingstand, as it gets dark this Panzerschreck would have been fired in the Rear of the Tank, pounded Load Grenades to follow, who comes out, sniped. The March Columns would simply have gone on 100 Meters left or right at Night.
Green Solder Norman/“Machine” (Logan Lerman), also Percy Jackson & one of the young sons of Mel Gibson’s Benjamin Martin(The Patriot- 2000) -- Ironically, Jason Isaac(Captain Waggoner--officer they first meet before their first town in Fury), played Col. Tavington- main antagonist in the same film. Happy Veterans Day to those who served-- ❤
US Navy veteran here. 1983-1987. Helicopter crew chief for VXE-6 Antarctica Squadron out of Naval Air Station Point Mugu, California. Three deployments to Antarctica staging out of Christchurch, New Zealand.
Patton's army developed tactics for the Shermans, which were very fast, to defeat the German tanks, unless the German caught them by suprise. The patch on Don's shoulder indicates the Third Armored Division, which was under Patton's command.
I loved being in my Stryker for my deployment to Iraq from 05 to 06 out of Iraq with the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team from Ft. Wainwright Alaska. Those vehicles become your home and you become part of your vehicle. We lived in ours when we weren’t back on the FOB(Forward Operating Base) getting maintenance and downtime. The best and worst times of my life.
A little history about the tanks used in the movie is fairly accurate. The M4 Sherman tank was commonly called "A purple heart box" by its crews. As a medium tank it did not have enough armor to stand up against most anti tank weapons, but could protect against heavy machine guns and light artillery. Instead of diesel engine it had a gas which meant a any solid hit would ignite the fuel sending burning gasoline through the tank. Most Sherman's had a (short barrel) low volicity 75mm gun, which would be good against troops and lightly armored vehicles. However, "Fury" was a modified Sherman with a long barrel British 76mm high volicity anti tank gun. Still not good enough against heavy German armor such as the Tiger IV tank at long range, It had to get in close to penetrate its armor.
Just to nitpick; the 76mm in "Fury"was an American gun, the 76mm M1, and as you said, did not really have the power to take on the big cats. The British 76mm was the 17 pounder, which was a much more powerful gun and only used in Commonwealth tanks, tank destroyers and AT guns.
The tank crew functions:
Commander: Brad Pitt (Decision Making, responsible for the overall battle awareness of the crew);
Gunner: Shia Labeouff (Operates the turret, the main cannon and coaxial machine gun);
Loader: Jon Bernthal (Reloads the main cannon and coaxial machine gun, manages the ammo depots around the tank, general mechanic);
Driver: Michael Peña (well, he drives the tank [surprise sound]. Can be a mechanic too);
Assistent Driver/Machine gunner: Logan Lerman (the "Norman". Operates the frontal machine gun, help the driver).
My GPA was a tank mech in ww2. Never spoke of it once.
One thing about this movie is character development. We see Norman in the beginning who has never seen combat ever. First test is the ambush which he failed. Next he is unable to shoot or reload the gun under pressure almost costing the entire tank crew their lives. We also see War Daddy who has been in his tank since American entered the war in 1941 in Africa who has seen a lot of combat calm down briefly with the two girls and Norman. Yes the others felt slighted that they were not included in the meal. Emma is killed now Norman has been personally affected by the war. The German sniper would be War Daddy's counterpart. Probably been in the war a long time and has seen a lot. The young German soldier would be Norman's counterpart. Hasn't seen much combat but takes mercy on him. A few war movie suggestions for you two. I would do Valkarie which stars Tom Cruise and is based on a true story that portrays the German effort to assassinate Hitler late in the war. Also check out Gettysburg for a civil war movie
Great reaction to a great film, Brad Pitt's tank Fury is in The Tank Museum in the UK alongside the Tiger Tank ( the only running Tiger in the world, Tiger 131) from the film. My grandad fought from Africa through Italy in a Tank in WW2, God rest .
A nice reaction to one of my favorite WWII films.👍🇺🇲
RIP, Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman from the BATMAN Animated Series passed away today at age 66.
Oh, no!
RIP😥
So irrelevant
Was he a veteran?
And the Arkham games.
@@justonjenkins1589 Nope.
My dad was a Tank Commander in the Royal Canadian Dragoons. Served in Cyprus in the 70s. did maneuvers in West Germany in a Leopard 1 back in the day aswell. He loves this movie. Great Reaction as allways!
My dad and I are both tankers, him in the '60s and me in the late 80s/early 90s. We both thought this was a pretty good film.
I love tanks. The Leopard sure is a beauty!
@@maingun07 unrealistic you mean. If you were a tanker you should know a tank that can't manouver it's a dead tank. This movie is shi.t
@@HellStr82 ??? did you even watch the movie when they got their tracks blown off by a Anti-Tank mine? thus creating a trap for the oncoming SS Battalion? Thats pretty fuckin accurate of how that fight would of played out.
Seems like you're just lookin to split hairs. I served on a M1A2 Abrams Tank for 5.5 Years. Was a Sergeant when i got out. pretty sure im a Subject matter expert on the tactical and technical abilities of a tank.
Good luck putting the track back on a Tank that has its roadwheels blown apart by a land mine, without the time or spare parts to do it. putting the track back on when it gets ripped off the sprocket isnt difficult its just time consuming. it can be done quickly so long as you have the tools and expertise on how to do it quickly.
@@johnlove3461 that's acurate ? 😀 :😀
In a Sherman tank there’s a commander, driver, loader a codriver/ hull gunner.
I am a veteran and most of my family are and my Grandfather served in WWII and was at Normandy on D-Day on Omaha beach, Battle of The Bulge, helped liberate concentration camps. Unfortunately he is no longer with us.
Thank you for your service and for your family.
veteran of what war?
if oyu didnt see combat you aint no veteran in my book
Man do I love watching both of your reactions
Saw this when I was stationed in Okinawa. I’ve never felt like I’d sacrificed so little until I walked out of this movie.
The real guy that Brad Pitt's character is based on was called LaFayette Green Pool, a man born in Texas in 1919. He commanded 3 tanks in Europe during World War 2, and his crew gave him the name War Daddy. You can find out about him in Wikipedia. He was in combat for 81 days, and killed 12 German tanks and 256 armored vehicles and self propelled artillery. One of his legs got crushed in his last fight, and his leg had to be amputated above the knee. LaFayette Pool was out of combat by September 1944, so he wasn't there for the end of the war in Europe.
I'm American but my Dad's dad was in the British Royal Armored core. He was in a Sherman tank just like in the movie. He always said he was the "radioman" but as I've gotten older and researched in a sheman tank that was the position of the front machine gunner/assistant driver. He always talked about the fun times in North Africa and Italy, what they did for fun and stuff like that. One day when I was older he just started talking about his real experience. He just became a different man, talked about losing the battle of Al Alimein and then winning it back in the second battle. How they fought through Sicily and were shelled as they crossed the channel to mainland Italy. One battle they were taking heavy artillery fire and there was a german spotter in a church tower so they shot at it and blew it up. They then called for airsupport but in his words on the verge of crying I remember "The damn Yanks hit us instead". He lost a few friends that day due to friendly fire. I guess he waited until I was older to understand. He talked for maybe 12 hours non stop. That was the only time he ever spoke of it, even my dad or my grandma had never heard the stories. Also fun fact for the movie...That is an ACTUAL Tiger tank. I's the last remaining operational Tiger and was loaned from a museum for the movie.
There’s a commander, a gunner who runs the main gun and the coaxial machine gun, a loader who services the guns a driver and a co-driver. They all are mechanics in the field maintaining the vehicle until it needs to go into the motor pool for major repairs.
I once worked with a guy who drove an M1 Abrams tank during Desert Storm. Last I heard, he moved back to California several years ago.
Josh Anzini, if you by chance read this, hope you're doing alright.
Bravo to you 2 for catching that!
He didn't want to lead but he had a duty to because it was his assistant driver that caused that disaster.
Happy Veterans Day to all the Brave Men & Women who have given their life for God & Country & for all those that are still with us ... May God Bless you all ..
One of the best war films EVER!!!! Also a perfect depiction of why that generation is considered the greatest generation ever. Also a perfect contrast to the quality of men we have today compared to the men who lived at that time. Simply amazing.
"fun" fact the tiger in the movie is the last working tiger tank in the world and was borrowed from a museum, keep up the great reaction :)
My dad served with the Air Force in Viet Nam. You guys should check out “Gettysburg.” Sam Elliot and Jeff Daniels are excellent.
The music in this film - is just so haunting.. This is by far my favorite war film and I honestly think the best of them. The problem I have with most war films, is that they always have to insert this glimmer of hope. You know maybe it's all worth it. But this film, it doesn't take the easy way out. It doesn't hide behind some facade of hope. It reluctantly accepts that no matter what the cause, or the ideals - at the end of the day it's just people taking the lives of other people.. The idea of fighting for something, at least as far as I'm concerned, is just an excuse you have to tell yourself, to justify what it is you're about to do. A war only works when those in power command the masses.
I think regardless of whether or not it's based on a true story, and this goes for any war film based on a true story - I don't think anything can ever amount to the reality of what people went through. Not just because there a lack of danger for the viewer, but simply because the actions portrayed will never be as dark as what really transpired. Like the moment where the bulldozer was plowing all those bodies into a hole. I think what was shown doesn't even come close to the utter darkness of what that was really like.
I hope one day, humankind can find the courage to unanimously stand up, on both sides of the conflict - against their orders to kill their fellow man and end war before it can even begin. Unfortunately, the invention of nuclear weapons makes that ever more unlikely to ever happen. With leaders who are legit psychopaths, incapable of empathy or compassion or remorse - I fear that if their people stood up to them and refused to fight - that they would just launch nuclear weapons at whoever they were trying to fight anyways..
Jeff Buckley was once singing Hallelujah live, and remarked on recently having been in Australia, and saw the nuclear testing of the coast being conducted by the French government. He said he "felt sad, that the French government has joined a long list of fools who insist on sending death sentences to the earth. This is for all the people who know that the only good place for a nuclear bomb is in the garbage dismantled..."
"Fury" is a Sherman M4A3E8, more commonly known as an “Easy Eight”. In reality, it would have been out of date by April 1945. The Tiger I was out of production by early 1945. The tanks were from the Bovington Tank Museum. The filmmakers had to use the vintage vehicles which were available.
It also would have punched right through the frontal armour of the Tiger from the range shown in the movie.
@@RandomStuff-he7lu There were also several cat tanks taken out far before this in Italy and North Africa. The German tanks were beasts but they were limited in both number and ability to reach or remain on the battlefield. The Sherman was designed with a different philosophy, and so it wasn't made to go up 1 to 1 with a heavy tank. Meanwhile a lot of the German heavy tanks were designed to be break through tanks. Once they broke through a small way the other lighter tanks would push forward. Far too often people think of tanks as a 1 on 1 dueling style of fighting. The reality is that most tanks during the war were destroyed by mines or anti-tank guns.
@@Kosh800 German heavy tanks didn't exist when the Sherman was designed so that's a given. The 75mm was more than capable of killing Panzer IIIs and IVs which was what it was more likely to run into over the course of the war. The 76mm as I already mentioned could punch through the frontal armour of a Tiger. Plus due to the design of the Sherman it was very easy to escape from and on average each knocked out Sherman only had 1 casualty (that's killed or wounded).
Fury is actually a M4A2E8.
@@RandomStuff-he7lu In reality the 76mm was plagued with poor ammo quality and could barely puch trough the Tiger's front armor at all, if the Tiger angled its hull - forget it.
My dad died in Vietnam, mom served, my brothers served in Iraq/Afghanistan. Im the only one in my family who has a college degree and is in the med field. They talk to me differently, but i look at them differently as i serve the Hippocratic Oath.. until the day i had to hold the hand of a dying patient to the point where let go, that changed me when my mom and brother saw me. Its always strange when we all meet in the holidays at our moms, but we are still one blood. I love my military family, its intense but its true Semper Fi love, even if i didnt serve myself.
we were engaged by kids in Iraq multiple times. if they engage you, they are a combatant. Sucks, but that's life.
The german soldier that at the end, was basically new recruit like Norman, just a kid. So the movie showed the opposite side as well.
One of the best military movies out there
Imagine living like that non-stop for YEARS
How could you not be insane?
31:16 The "Ammo OUTSIDE" is the dead enemy's ammo that they just killed....they didn't accidentally forget to bring it inside
A quick big of Google-Fu suggests that Sherman tanks, like Fury, had a commander, gunner, loader, driver, and codriver/hull gunner
Best job I ever had, is them telling each other, I love you guys.
Cheers _ my grandfather was a tank driver in this war _ peace everybody
I was tactical comms in an infantry battalion for 4 years, best job I ever had now, definitely not while I was doing it. Lol everything is your fault when you're the radio guy.
Ain't that the truth. I was commo in the Army. Served with 82nd Signal Battalion. Went to Desert Storm as part of a Cavalry Regiment. Did a tour in Korea with a straight leg Infantry unit. Commo took the blame for everything.
@@Raving they can talk about us, but they cant talk without us. 💯 thank you for your service my guy.
I remember having a radio tech on my tank working on our radios. Somebody called for a radio check. He replied, "Lickin Chickin, come back"
Then came the reply, "Who the f is that?!?!"
That's when we recognized the colonel's voice.
At that very moment, our radios mysteriously went dead. Go figure.
@@maingun07 lmao classic, BN commander always listening. Mines swore he was John Wayne.
Thank you for your service
Crew = commander, gunner, loader, driver, and assistant driver who served mostly as a machine gunner. That is the crew member that was killed.
Thank you and god bless all the veterens that serve and keep us safe and free. We are forever in your debt!!! Both my grandfathers served in WWII in the Pacific theater especially in the Phillipines. My dads unkle drove a troop landing craft on D-Day. Another great WWII film that came out in 98 (besides Saving Private Ryan) is a less talked about and much more psycoligical film titled The Thin Red Line. It has a enough war action, but focuses on the immorality of war and even about life, what it means and death and if their is god and the balance of good and evil. It is by far my favorite war film and a top film in general, just my two cents.
Aight I'm nitpicky here, but the crewmen are named as follows:
Tank Commander
(Staff Sgt. Don Collier, aka Brad Pitt)
Gunner
(Cpl. Boyd Swan, aka Shia LaBeouf)
Driver
(Cpl. Trini Garcia, aka Michael Peña)
Loader
(Private First Class Grady Travis, aka Jon Bernthal)
Assistant Driver/Bow Machine Gunner
(Private Norman Ellison, aka Logan Lerman)
There is no shame in tears at such portrayals
Der Tiger hätte alle 4 panzer zerstört egal aus welchem Winkel und Distanz. Ein Tiger hätte nie aus der Fahrt geschossen also sie durften es nicht. Mein Großvater war in einem Tiger und in Tiger 2. Er hat mir Aufnahmen gezeigt wie die getroffen US panzer aussahen also das was davon übrig war.
You guys should watch the deleted scene after Emma is killed which Don has a heart to heart with Norman and you learn so much more about why Don stayed with Fury till the end. Also how he felt about Norman in the beginning. It should have been left in the movie for much more context.
I believe you could write a book on combat psychology based on this movie. It demonstrates the war battered interpersonal dynamic of the crew. It shows Don maintaining a strong facade of leadership in front of his crew while going off to cry on his own. Don also is firm with Norman but is sure to make sure that he eats and is taking care of him. Towards the end, as he and Bible are reciting the verse, "Those who do the Lord's work will live forever," there is a moment of solemn realization between the two as Bible realizes how Don is saying to him (in a manner that Bible himself would truly understand) that they were going to die in that battle, but live forever in the afterlife. Which is another way of a leader knowing his people and communicating with them. Of course, there is also the survivor's guilt aspect at the end. There is so much that people could learn from this movie if they had the correct people to explain it to them in the process. It is an underrated masterpiece in my opinion.
Awesome reaction, this movie is freaking brutal.
A related interesting movie is The Beast (1988), about a Soviet tank that gets separated from its unit after attacking a village in Afghanistan. Steven Bauer, George Dzundza, Jason Patrick and Stephen Baldwin star.
"It's the moment the ahole comes in handy."... Phrasing 😂🤣
I honestly wouldn't be able to recognize my man if he wasn't wearing a cowboy hat. It is part of his head in my brain
Crew consists of the Driver, Assistant Driver operates the bow machine gun. , Loader, Gunner, and Commander (Brad Pitt) Everyone there is a Mechanic.
One year late, but the crossroads in Band Of Brothers were in the Netherlands. They didn't get to Germany until the end of the show.
An old vet I came to be fishing buddies with said he was in Italy killing Nazis for 3 years. He said it was so cold that he would never live north of the Red River after that.
Then he played 4 years in the ABA. I forgot he played for Utah State 4 years before the war.
They were tougher then.
Great film, The Hurt Lockers a great film too if you havent seen it.
