It was the end of the war, the SS guy who let Norman live was most likely very much like Norman, a young guy freshly sent to the battlefield, not a battle hardened SS soldier.
Exactly, most of the hardened guys who were still around were probably either captured by this point, or fighting the Russians near Berlin
"Whom shall I send, and I said here am I send me" always chokes me up no matter how many times I see this movie.
He killed the burning Nazis to put them out of their misery, it's why the other soldiers didn't do it. They didn't care, they wanted them to experience the pain. "You shoulda let 'em burn."
Later when taking to Wardaddy, Norman says "In fact, I kinda liked it." I see most people thinking he meant this, that he enjoyed doing it, but really he was just saying what he thought Wardaddy wanted to hear. Wardaddy sees through his lie and takes him to the Nazi headquarters, where he says the history is violent line. This is to show Norman that he doesn't need to pretend to be hard, or try to throw away his softness and humanity, but he does need to do his job so that they can all go back to the peaceful times.
As a former us army tank driver I can attest that the actions of the crew were on point with fire commands.not only that but they actually used the only functional tiger tank left in the world.
This is also based off of a real life tank ace named war daddy.his real name escapes me at the moment.
Death before dismount is the tanker's motto.i was with 3rd infantry division,2nd brigade,1-64armor from 2010-2013
Well hello, borther. 2nd brigade 68th armored regiment Baumholder Germany 1991-1993. Best job I ever had!
L.A. Thorne: Thank You for your service and sacrifices to help make this world a better place for us all. You are appreciated, please never doubt that. Until our paths cross again, I hope that you remain Well & reasonably Happy too. Keep Smiling... Cheers...
Sergeant Lafayette “Wardaddy” G. Pool. His tank was named “In the Mood.” Pool and his crew “would kill 12 tanks, 258 armored vehicles and self-propelled guns, and 1,000 German soldiers in only 79 days,” unfortunately, after participating in one of the most intense theaters of the Second World War, Pool was forced to get his leg amputated when In the Mood was hit by a German Panther tank.
He let him live because he was just as young as Norman and probably knew what would happen to him if he was captured.
Realistically the tank would've been cleaned, repaired, and Norman would be promoted to tank commander and given a new crew within a week or two
You can't imagine Brad Pitt starring in a fictional war movie? Inglorious Bastards.
It's a true story or loosely based on a true story. You can find it on CZcams. The real inglorious bastards
@@eddiehaskell1957No, it is absolutely not a true story. Hitler and the German high command were not murdered by spies, in a crowded theater, which is the biggest plot point in the entire movie. Yes, World War II did happen, and there were spies, and they did use guerrilla tactics, but that doesn't make it a true story.
@@odemusvonkilhausen the second part of my opening line was loosely based. There is a video of the real inglorious basterds. No they didn't set a theater on fire with the German High Command all tucked in wrapping paper and a bow. That's not what I meant.
Such a hard movie to watch but is important....these men are why those of us who live in democracies can live free....just never enuff gratitude can be given.
*Behind Enemy Lines* is another good one, no one has reacted to it yet.
The emotion of the Captain through this whole movie is not one of regret, but it is the entirety of his duties and responsibilities building up on him, and what he has to do/act to be a leader.
Brad was a Sergeant. But your point is good.
@@eddiehaskell1957 Oh you are correct thank you! That is a very vital point actually so its appreciated :)
26:38 They didn't send dog tags to the families. The purpose of the dog tags was to know who was dead. So if a body was too mutilated to identify or if it had to be left behind on a mission, dog tags would be a confirmation of the casualty. They also had blood type for medics and religious preference for prayer and burial.
The young German soldier who saw Norman was not SS - just a conscript who saw another young face looking back at him. Somebody who was no threat and German still had some humanity.
I'm pretty sure that's still SS insignia, specifically one worn by a private
@@QuackAttack I think you are correct. Anyway, a private with some humanity left.
I am only part way through this reaction, but I already notice some adjustments you have made. Well done sir.Keep grinding . 🇺🇸
If I remember correctly, Pitt did this in honor of his grandfather who was part of a tank team in Europe during WWII
The Tiger in the movie is the only working Tiger in the world. I think the name of the museum is the Bovington in Dorset (edited for correct info thanks to someone who knew) so you could go see it. They paved the field for the battle to protect the Tiger. Oh, just the Tank Museum is the name now.
Panzerfaust not rpg but close to the same thing. It was the forerunner of the rpg.
It is now just called The Tank Museum...but it is located in the village of Bovington in Dorset. ✌✌
@@iKvetch558 thanks for fixing it.I knew I had it close but also knew it was wrong.
@@FollowingGhost I had the privilege of being able to visit there in 2008...I really hope to get back there again someday.
@@iKvetch558 that's awesome. One of the things I wish I could have done is visit there just for the history. It won't happen now but I love to talk to folks who had the chance.
and that Tiger tank that was used in the movie, the only one left in existence that still works. it was on loan for the filming of the movie by... the British Museum!
Very interesting, didn't know there was a fully functional surviving example. Fun fact: no electric or hydraulic traverse/elevation controls for the Tiger's turret, it had to be cranked by hand.
The battle scene does a reasonably good job of showing it often cost 3-4 Shermans to take out one Tiger, while the others kept the commander and gunner busy the last Sherman would slip behind the Tiger to deliver the 75mm suppository.
Whenever you can eat, eat. Whenever you can sleep, sleep. ♥
My grandfather was a tank driver in ww2 for the US. He never talked about it.
Reminder they are under orders to hold that position at the cross roads.That tank is the only protection the soldiers behind them have.
Quick fun fact for ya, that German Tiger Tank they fight is actually a real Tiger Tank, Tiger 131, the only functional one that still exists
26:04 I think he let him live either because he knew Norman would be killed if he was captured, out of respect from the battle, or maybe a combination of both.
Tanks are usually named by the letter of the company. So they were likely in Foxtrot company. I was in Charlie company, so my tank was named Chuck Norris. We also had a tank named Chocolate Factory and a tank named Charley Murphy.
“In war there are no winners nor losers. There are only casualty’s. “ - Unknown
Brad Pitts character isn’t unpredictable at all. He is an NCO and is acting accordingly.
If I recall, the tank they faced closer to the end was as a Tiger tank. Something all American tank crews feared. It was a beast of a machine.
Fear but rarely actually seen
Tigers never fought US Sherman's. The biggest threat to German tanks was the overwhelming Allied Air power and lack of fuel.
@@andrewwaller5913 Where in the world did you get your info from. Shermans have had to fight tiger tanks just rarely.
"He must be a captain. He doesn't really look like a sergeant."
Me, looking at the Staff Sgt patch clearly displayed on his uniform: 🤦♂
Actually in the deleted scenes , Brad Pitt's character got in a car wreck before the war , and that's y his back is all messed up. Also his younger brother was named Norman. That's why he has a soft spot for him. Should check out the deleted scene.. There's a lot more to it
It’s based on the battles following the battle of the bulge where the Americans pushed into west Germany, not a specific tank crew though
Sherman tanks had less powerful guns than the tiger but they had greater numbers
Each tank crew carried a set of tools to repair their tank as well as extra pieces of track
Correct, the plus for the Sherman is the ease of field reparability, maneuverability, speed and far greater numbers. German tanks while technically superior and armor/guns stronger, they basically were dead if they had a breakdown(which happened often) or damage from a battle due to repair difficulty, very poor fuel mileage, and vulnerable from the rear
If you want another good war movie, especially on that focuses on the soldiers and not the war itself you would really do all quiet on the western front
At the 9m mark, the old man forgot that town has a strict no switching rule.
I was tanker early in the Iraq invasion. What little armored resistance we saw was kind of a joke. I can't imagine how it must have felt going up against Tigers and Panzers while operating little dinky Shermans. We still had casualties, but it was from massive IEDs putting out shockwaves so massive, crewmembers would be instantly killed and have bodies full of broken bones (that was more graphic than I intended). It's not the Hollywood fireballs and explosions we feared. It was the concussive blasts.
Thank You, Brian James, for your Service and your Sacrifice. I'm truly sorry that you had to contend with these destructive concussive forces. I hope that you find yourself, today, living a life of some semblance of Normalcy. (as if that is even possible, after living through something like that?! God Bless You and Thank You again for all you've done for so many. Keep Smiling... Cheers...
americans only encountered 2 tigers during the whole war, both of them left by the crew cus no more fuel was in or it was damaged. They mostly fought panzer 4 which, in terms of armor are weaker than shermans. Not to mention the constant air support they had made a joke of panzers that got constantly bombarded.
People often never think about how awful it was to be a tank crew. Not only are you in a hot metal coffin, but tanks do messy damage to people. Including running people over if need be. I seen someone ran over (on purpose it seems) and it was just a mess.
To answer your question, it takes 10.000 hours to master a musical instrument, or to become a master at any difficult skill such as Ballet, Gymnastics or Martial arts. That translates to 10 years worth of full days for the average person.
As a British citizen you should check out Operation Goodwood. This Operation to place in Normandy France at the end of July 1944. Two British Infantry Divisions and three British Armored Divisions. This is considered the largest tank battle of the British Army.
After the film, Fury was given to the Bovington tank museum down in Dorset and if I remember correctly, they still run the tank every year during Tankfest in the arena.
This movie is tough to watch for me, as good as it is, because the Brad Pitt character reminds me of my father. As staff sergeant of a 5-man Sherman tank crew late in the war (like Pitt himself, also raised in the Missouri Ozarks). my dad's unit was in the right (southern) wing of Patton's 3rd Army, operating mostly in the Alps and Baltics; he had some tank combat skirmishes, but most of his unit's work involved liberating concentration camps. My dad never showed signs of PTSD; he went, did his duty, survived and put it behind him. He didn't talk about it unles pressed and he didn't like gory war films (and tuned out holocaust documentaries; he was no doubter. but they reminded him of the smell of death). Thankfully, I didn't experience the same during my service in the U.S. Navy in the '70s.
Hello there Chris Bowling. Thank You and Your Father for making this a better world to Live in. Thank you both for your sacrifices and your service.
I've got a little story to share with you, that most don't hear, regarding WWII. At the time, my mother was a citizen of Sweden. When she was 18 years old She was apprehended by an SS Officer as she was helping Jews cross the border into Sweden. Well the SS Officer grabbed a rifle from one of the German Soldiers and knocked my mother's Front Teeth out, with the butt of that rifle. She is so fortunate that this is all that the SS Officer did to her. This could have been the end of her... and then I would not exist? Wow, I had never thought of that last part before. Well yea, I'm even more glad that things went the way that they did.
Well Chris, may God Bless and Keep you. You are my Hero. Keep Smiling... Cheers...
This was my dad s war. In 1977 he told me stories JUST LIKE THIS IDENTICAL to a couple of these scenes. I wonder to this day if someone interviewed my dad to write those scenes. CRAZY!!!!
Yeah, they just welded the Shermans up, hosed them out, made other necessary repairs and pressed them into service again.
The US soldiers called them "Purple Heart boxes", and the Germans called them "Ronsons", because they invariably burst into flames when hit by a German tank.
07:38 Can you disobey an order like that? Absolutely. At that moment that german was in allied custody he was a prisoner of war and would be protected by the GENEVA CONVENTION.
If the young man had followed the order given he could of been arrested and charged with a war crime because he was not resisting in anyway nor was he attempting to escape.
Furthermore those that had witnessed it could of quite possibly been charged as well because they saw everything and did nothing about it. Fortunately for the young man he did nothing wrong LEGALLY.
Brad Pitts character however committed a war crime by his actions. He could of easily been arrested, found guilty, and executed for his actions. But would that of actually happened? Probably not. If the prisoner was an SS soldier nobody would of cared. But a regular german soldier he might of been in a bit of trouble for what he did.
The Geneva Conventions also say any enemy soldier found wearing any part of your military's uniform, or carrying any of your country's issued weapons and/or equipment, is considered an infiltrator and is subject to summary execution at the discretion of whoever is in charge.
The German had on a US Army longcoat. The Germans were just as aware of the enemy uniform rule as everyone else. He brought that upon himself, in a sense.
Was it right? No. A war crime? Also no.
Ironically, Wardaddy carries a captured Sturmgewehr 44 throughout the film, and is, himself also in violation of this rule. Not that his possession of that weapon or lack thereof would have stopped him from being shot if captured by the SS
German soldier was wearing enemy uniform/attire, that's a war crime all in itself.
@@DarkPyrox99 how is wearing a German uniform a war crime? Is that your own personal view or opinion on that? It wasn't a crime to wear a german uniform in WWII. After WWII? I have no idea.
@@VorchaKali I already explained it to you months ago.
@@VorchaKali The German soldier in that scene is wearing the coat from a US Army uniform. You can even hear the Americans taunting and asking him "Where'd you get that coat boy? Who'd you kill?".
Those Geneva Conventions that you are referring to, again, say that an enemy soldier found wearing any part of your military's uniform, carrying any of your country's issued weapons or equipment, or any combination thereof, is considered an infiltrator, and may be summarily executed for it at the discretion of the commanding officer or whoever is in charge at that moment.
Dog tags...
The reason why the dog tags are the shape they are and come in pairs is for the following reason; if you find a Dead soldier on the field and there's nothing you can do to retrieve the body you are to take one dog tag of the two for record purposes...
You are the place the other one in the mouth of the soldier in between the lower and top jaw of the front of the mouth, and then you were to proceed to kick the soldier in the jaw as hard as you can to embed the dog tag into the bone...
This is so that one day at the end of the war even if the entire body cannot be salvaged the skull can be identified and returned home for proper burial.
The world of war is a brutal and unforgiving one, but at times a necessity for survival. And in the end the very least we can do is respect the fallen, by hopefully giving them the proper burial.
You should react to "lone survivor" its based on a true story and its one of the best military movies in my opinion when it comes to realism.
i love your reactions you can feel your emotions in each video. also love the fact you pay attention to the details & aren’t hella chatty 😅
By April 1945, the Luftwaffe did not have any aircraft left. Luftwaffe personnel were used as untrained infantrymen by that time, as were German sailors.
My mans had no issue straight said kill the prisoner of war😂
There are a lot of great movies not on IMBD top 100. Here are a few you should check out:
Independence Day
Die Hard
Good Will Hunting
The Sixth Sense
Braveheart
The Patriot
Legends of the Fall
Glory
The Color Purple
A Few Good Men
I have watched all of them multiple times and would watch them all again because they are great films.
That was a WP (white phosphorus) round they fired into the bank, the German soldiers coming out were being cooked alive with a flame water couldn't quench. Norman was doing them a favor.
If you haven't already seen Inglorious Bastards, you really need to see it. Awesome acting from sooo many people.
This movie had Vanisher from Deadpool, Percy Jackson, Antman's best friend, The Punisher, Sam Witwickey from Transformers, and Frost from Suicide Squad. They should've rolled them. BumbleBee alone could've handle it.
Norman is her 1 true love. In the deleted scenes he sees that she has a short life line.
Yesssirrr been waiting for this🫡🫡
You're absolutely on point!
After word got out about Malmedy, a lot of American soldiers stopped taking SS prisoners. It was never the official policy of any US unit, but a lot of officers looked the other way when their men would shoot captured SS.
I can’t not cry whenever I watch this 😭
this is one of the greatest war films ever made and prob will stay that way
He was right when he said she would have one love of her life it was him
3 stripes on his arm makes him a sergeant. Yes of course you can disobey an order if it's considered a war crime.
YES! You can disobey an order to kill a prisoner who is not escaping or trying to kill one of your own. In fact, it is required under the Geneva Convention.
The SS weren't elite soldiers. They were political soldiers. They got the best equipment because of their status in the Nazi party, not because of any prowess demonstrated in battle.
Fresh fried eggs would be like filet-mignon after a few weeks of military rations. You'd probably be ready to shoot someone for their ham sandwich after two or three months.
I think I read where they took actual battles from ww2 and just put them in a movie. I know they took liberties in this movie but if im not mistaken they were from real stories. I know that the last one on the crossroads was an Audie Murphy story.
Check out inglorious bastards. It's a Quentin Tarantino version of world war II with Brad Pitt.
If you want to see how the Germans mobilized every child, see Jojo Rabbit, which is both funny as heck, and heartbreaking.
Since you're reacting to movies more recently, add these for consideration (I won't pay for Patreon; I'm a senior on a fixed income):
War Dramedy (star): The Dirty Dozen (Lee Marvin), Kelly's Heroes (Clint Eastwood), Dr. Strangelove (Peter Sellers 3X). Sports Comedy: Slap Shot Paul Newman), Bull Durham (Kevin Costner), Mr. Baseball (Tom Selleck). Sports Drama: Raging Bull (Robert DeNiro), Money Ball (Brad Pitt), Hoop Dreams (Arthur Agee/William Gates, documentary -- long, but AN ABSOLUTE MUST SEE for any fan of film or hoops). React to one, I'll send other suggestions.
Slap Shot!!!
A lot of the S.S towards the end of WWII had been involved in Hitler's Youth.
They were not all bad, many lived in fear and felt the compulsion to enlist.
I'm not stating that they were good either per se, just facts.
Such as many who were enlisted in Hitler's Youth joined because they were given food. It was probably the biggest incentive behind keeping your family safe.
“The patriot” staring Mel Gibson
Top tier in my favorite war movies of all time.. ; )..
This movie gets a lot of things wrong (tactics are wrong, Fury being a Firefly variant of the Sherman would have had no problem punching through the Tiger's armor, the Tiger tank crew would know that and target Fury first, ect) but one thing it does get right is how years of war will dehumanize people and actually become MORE lethal as time goes on because of inexperienced people not being trained properly going up against hardened troops.
I agree and commented something similar...but one minor correction, I think you will find that Fury is meant to be a late war M4A2(76)W HVSS Sherman. So its main gun was not the amazing British 17 pounder, but rather the slightly less impressive American 76mm firing HVAP rounds. Obviously, the 76mm could penetrate the Tiger from the front, but it did have to get somewhat closer to do so. I have seen all kinds of figures, but it seems clear that even with the HVAP rounds, the 17 pounder could deal with Tigers from well over a kilometer, while the 76mm was not a sure bet to penetrate at ranges of 1000m. ✌✌
Great movie… very very dark n gritty but ultimately extremely brutal in not shying away from what the reality of war
Norman should have disobeyed that order to shoot the prisoner. That would not be considered a lawful order as that German Wehrmacht had surrendered.
That was Tiger 131the only operational tiger left. A deadly beast but a beauty in steel
In WW2 there was a Russian KV-1 Heavy Tank, that sat there like this, but in the middle of a field, whopping the nazi's ass. Even took out an 88, before they could set it up.
He didn't just want to stay and fight for the heck of it. Remember their three tanks had been sent to defend a certain point, and there were lots of undefended wounded, etc. behind them. The fact that they'd lost two tanks and theirs was immobilized didn't changed the fact that there were a lot of people behind them.
7:37 I’d think that would be acceptable as he’s asking him to execute an unarmed POW. That’s a war crime
I really liked this movie when I saw it years ago
Saludó desde la República Dominicana excelente vídeo
If you've never seen them you should check out Apocalypse Now , Platoon,and Glory there all really good war movies
I own the movie on blue- ray. A very very good movie. All star cast. Germany at that time may have had better tanks but they could never out fight a determined America. Sgt knew he would not make it back.
You have lost touch with reality
The young solider let Norman live because every human is different, they aren't just SS or whatever, they are human. Maybe he didn't want that death on his soul the rest of his life if he manages to get through, the war is over and he knows it, what would killing this young man do.
Not one single weirdo in a dog suite...
1 out of 5
The movie got some flak for not being like documentary level accurate about all the details, but I don't think that's the kind of film it was trying to be. Personally, I appreciate a WWII film that is gritty, and dark. Too often they paint a somewhat sanitized version of the conflict. That war was a horrifying nightmare for the tens of millions who died, and many more who lived through it. I think a film about it should be difficult to watch at times. Like the beach landing sequence in Saving Private Ryan.
They are getting it from the rear lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you haven't already seen it, consider watching Platoon.
When I first seen the movie I was SOOO worried the crazy crew guy was going to rape those poor women. So glad it didn't go down that path. Even more so because the person I seen it with was a victim of rape. I have to be really careful about what we watch together. But it would be a lie if I said no America soldier raped women. Sadly it did happen. Then again both sides did lots of horrible things to others.
Shit, my national guard stepsister got raped her first year in. Barely anyone knows. No telling what enemies get.
Brad pit played in inglorious bastards so that statement about war movies may be wrong
Kabir since you like to watch videos on fighter jets videos you should react to the movie Red Tails if you've not seen the movie
Yo kabir i’m not sure what music you like but you should check out some US drill. It’d be really interesting. I Recommend FBG wooski, FBG Duck, King von, Foolio, Lil Durk, Pop smoke, and Kay Flock.
Hi Kabir, great job as always, please react to the true life war movie: “Unbroken.”
The movie is pretty good. The allies pushing thru Germany and hope that they finally see the light and surrender.
The tanks are real....even the German Tiger-1 tank is real. It was borrowed from the Bovington Tank Museum in Wareham UK.
The only thing I find fault with the movie is the final battle. It took forever. The Germans had many "Panzerfaust" (you called them RPGs) you see while they are marvhing. The Germans only needed 1 or 2 to destroy the Sherman with almost no German camarching.
Note: just before Norman is pulled out of the tank at the end....you see Brad Pitts pistol. On the handle you see a woman's face. It was common then to have custom made pistol grips with photos of loved ones. I think it was clear Lucite/resin with the photo inside.
They didn't have rpgs inWW2 . The Germans had Pa
They had Panzergfausts & Pannzerschrecks similar in nature to rpgs.
Bro you speak German. I only react to your video for the football reaction. You're on a whole another level. Please do more ww2 video. Just hear me you'll get so many more views.
@14:50 horses were a big part in most armies of the time. Only around 10% of the German army was mechanized. The rest relied on horses and trains for the most part.
The United States was able to produce 10 times what all of the axis could combined and we all but gave it away for free to all our allies.
one thing to know that many didn't, is that there was a decent amount of ss troops that didn't like Hitler's cruel actions. the reason they used gas chambers in the holocausts was so they could kill with out upsetting the troops after many complained, including ss officers. movies portray Germans as monsters, but many were normal people who were forced to fight for a monster. monsters are made, not born.
It might have been a joke that just went over my head but I hope you weren't being serious about learning the piano in 6 months by playing for an hour a day.
Watch and review "RRR"...
Its the most entertaining movie of this year
Watch Django!!
One of my top 25 war films...but it isn't no Tank Girl... seriously though Lebanon is a far superior tank movie.
Do you know German or do you have subtitles on.
React to Platoon and Full Metal Jacket
The SS was the political soldiers of the Nazi regime; radical devotees to Hitler's fantasies. Normally I don't like referring to German soldiers as "Nazis" because a Nazi was a political identification, (which not every German was, and a growing majority in the military began hating Hitler, even attempting to assassinate him July 20, 1944) and it's more accurate referring to them by military branch; Wehrmacht (Army), Luftwaffe (Air Force) and Kriegsmarine (Navy). But in this case, it fits referring to the SS as Nazis.
I don't agree with killing soldiers who have surrendered, as it's a violation of the Geneva Convention, and if the Germans found out, they could just as easily execute of our boys they'd taken prisoner. But given how the SS was hanging civilians who couldn't fight and forcing children in the Hitler Youth Program to fight, reasons for mercy would dwindle fast in the eyes of someone as battle weary as those soldiers.
EDIT: There is some inaccuracies in the tank battle, but that's mostly just Hollywood. A German tank ace called Michael Wittmann developed a strategy that took advantage of the Tiger's range. He'd shoot the leading tank, preventing the column from going forward, then shoot the tank at the rear, preventing the column from going back, then he'd mow them down in the middle. A tank commander would target Fury first as well because it has a modified gun, which means it could do more damage than the average Sherman tank. So why the German tank commander shot the rear tank first and gave up his position by charging forward is beyond me.
A Tiger tanks' advantage is its armor and the range it can fire armor piercing shells without giving up its position. A Sherman tanks' advantage is its speed. While having light armor is not something you want in a tank fight, a Sherman could close the distance between them and a Tiger relatively quickly. They'd still have to avoid taking direct hits, but it could be done.
we are all one people. emphathy toward each other goes a long way.... That young SS dude spared his life because why the fuck not. Would i be in the same place, i probably would have too. Norman just at the german dude, wouldnt even wanna be there in the first place. 1 globe, 1 mankind. Fuck politics
