When people generally think about World War 1 era tactics it's usually trench warfare but this scene shows that troops were also fighting in urban areas like we see here.
I wrote an online article a few years explaining this misconception. Trenches were a great way of preventing an enemy from bypassing your lines, as well as a good place to assemble a large army without fear of being shelled or machine-gunned to death, but not for assaulting a trench. This myth largely came about because, on the first day of the Somme, some 120,000 British soldiers -- mostly raw recruits with little battle experience -- were ordered to walk across No Man's Land. However, this order was only done on the assumption that the Germans would have been killed or forced to evacuate amidst the mass artillery barrage that preceded it -- and had the field guns not miscalculated their range, the outcome may very well have been different. Early in the war, a few trench attacks also took place, but once it became apparent how costly such tactics were, the concept of attacking a trench directly more or less died off. If a trench was to be taken, it was more feasible to dig a tunnel and plant a mine, or have it shelled to death by artillery, which is why most of the worst fighting actually took place on hilltops and ridges, since capturing these objectives meant that artillery would be able to get at trenches that would otherwise be out of range. Villages were also fought for more than trenches because these sites -- with their ruined structures -- meant that they could be defended by far fewer men than out in an open field, while also being safer from artillery and gas attacks.
So he found himself pinned down by an enemy machine gun nest, and his first thought was to pull his squad toward him to trap 4 soldiers instead of 3. Yeah GG, dude. WP
I'm 60yrs old & I remember the last time I saw my Granddad when I was just 18 months old: My Mom & my Aunt had to sneak me into the hospital bc they didn't allow children to visit and they knew he wasn't going to live much longer. I had been telling them about this story of us riding up on "weird elevator with grates on it" 20 years later after my Nana had passed away & they looked at me in shock. They said there was no way I could've remembered that bc I was too little, but I went on to describe how my Granddad laughed at them for scolding me for climbing up on his bed & that he KNEW right away what I meant when I started shaking the metal rails on his bed. He said, "That's right, they put me in crib just like you sleep in!", and we both started laughing. My "inheritance" from my Nana was her old wooden lap-desk & hidden inside were all the love letters that my Granddad had written to her while he was serving as a Medic with the Canadian Expeditionary Forces during WWl (Regiment 150). His last one was dated Nov.8, 1917, right before he was nearly fatally wounded & spent 11 months recuperating in a French hospital. He'd told her about the months on end they'd stayed out in the cold in muddy trenches, then they miraculously FOUND an old, beat-up French chateau where they'd spent a few nights. He was SO excited as they ALSO had found some old chip coal to heat themselves up with. He said it smelled awful & smoked a lot, but it was dry & *_wonderful_* to find something to burn! They treated themselves to full K-Rations & almost dry socks, too. His penmanship was beautiful & carefully written. They were married two days after he returned, on Nov. 7th, 1918. They had no idea in a few days the World would be celebrating. His shoulder injury was catastrophic, but he hid it well. He looped his thumb through his jacket button-hole, so no one noticed. He refused to speak badly about Germans, or anyone. An he also refused to have any weapons. Thank You SO Much for posting this video! Many Blessings to ALL affected by this.
@@NicholasEzclapz He died when I was 18 months old. They'd been married for 40 years by then. He died from a combination of his war injuries & Myasthenia Gravis. His lungs were badly scarred from all the mustard gas that was used (on both sides).
Effects of shells, blasts and explosives aren't set in stone, there are plenty of accounts of survival from people thrown from shell impacts so its plausible, its called being a lucky motherfucker in a tertiary blast zone, the primary and secondary blast zone is where the magic happens all the high psi's, traumatic amputations, edemas, organ damage and shapnel injuries all that bad stuff, of course getting thrown relies heavly on what you hit, your body is pretty much going to experience the kind of impact your average biker gets getting chucked off at highway speeds, so you are going to be fucked up if you hit something unforgiving like concrete.
Freehat Ferhat what are you talking about, plenty of allies died in Fury, the whole point of the movie was how trash the sherman was. It's just brad pitt and his crew.
To be fair though, he only used the body as a shield for about a second or so to get the grenade thrown so it would have been more likely for the dead guy to hold together for long enough, rather than the main character using the body as cover for a prolonged sequence. On top of that, regardless of the same cartridge, the MG42’s fire rate was absurdly high; so putting more rounds down range in a burst would help it “Tear through” targets easier, so a maxim with a lower rate of fire could have made what happens here _slightly_ more plausible. However the movie itself is undoubtedly kinda shite and feels like a Pearl Harbour clone, some ridiculously unrealistic bits are to be expected.
Alexander Walker an 8mm Mauser will go clear through a person and hardly slow down. You can’t use a human body as cover. Bullets go right through it. One 8mm Mauser will go through 20cm of wood.
@@neilharrah7365 Yeah, and what´s worse, a lot worse actually, is the fact it splinters the wood even if it is stopped. Same holds true for artillery: the US Army infantry units that charged into the Hürtgen Forrest, they were trained to take cover flat on their bellies when artillery came in... The artillery shells exploded in the trees themselves however, above you (tree-bursts) and spread carnage that way. The Germans units opposing them were the Volkgrenadiere, mostly ´old men on bicycles´, but a lot of those guys had seen some combat back in WW1 and used this phenomenon to great effect. Only after the heavy (and in the end, pointlessly high) casualties at Hürtgen, US Army basic training incorporated training their soldiers to ´hug the trees´ while standing upright with incoming artillery in wooded areas. You´ve got a lot more protection when doing that, than while laying flat. Unless it´s a direct hit, the tree´s likely to stop the shrapnel coming from a tree-burst in front of you, it will however pepper you for certain when you´re laying down on the ground. Same was true for heavy MGs being fired into densely packed woods, even if the round is stopped, you´ll got a lot of splinters going out at nearly the same speed as the round that came in on the other side. That´s like being hit with arrows traveling at supersonic speeds. A bullet does not stop, unless all of it´s kinetic energy has been spent. That´s why firing live ammo into the air in ´celebration´ can cause casualties a certain distance away, since that round than just behaves like a midget artillery shell. And when someone´s down the line´s got a bad day? It might hit where it does a lot of damage. That´s why Army safety measures regarding the use of firearms on base (and even in the field) are so rigorous: firearms are inherently dangerous things, after all they were invented to shoot loose trough a charging knight + his horse :-) Grtz
So! Some people around here object to the idea of the stab through the head...are you for real? This was, (roughly), a conversation I had with my Grandfather, about WWII, many years ago: *** My Grandfather landed on the beaches at Normandy, after having left the beaches at Dunkirk. He never spoke about the war and I took it that he was bothered by the memories; I assumed incorrectly. The subject arose one day, while I spoke to him in his shed, (if you wanted to find Grandad, look in the shed), and I apologised for mentioning the subject. "No need to say sorry, Boy. The only reason I don't talk about it is because nobody ever asks me." "You must have been terrified, Grandad." "Most exciting time of my life, Boy. Look at this village; even the birds in the trees sit around yawning from boredom. I'm born and bred here; I'll die here. Most excitement I've ever had was five years in the Army." After that he would regail me often with tales of his exploits, both lethal and libidinous, in war time Europe. If he was speaking about a particular incident he would normally start with: "I remember this one feller..." or "I still remember this one girl..." He recalled the day he drove a bayonet through a man's face and it came out of the back of his head but got stuck. "I had to put a bullet through him as well, to blow the back of his head off, otherwise I would have to leave the bayonet there. I could have been put on a charge for losing it." "I remember this one feller shut himself in the room of a house and we couldn't get him to come out. He wasn't a Sniper but every time we tried to get close he just started firing, through the window or the wooden door. He got a couple of our blokes, so I decided enough was enough. There was a lorry (Truck) nearby so I got in it and drove it right through the fucking wall until I had him pinned against the far side. I got out and he was squealing to get the lorry off him; so I got back in and carried on driving forward until we were through the other side. That stopped the noisy fucker." "If you want to clear a foxhole, Boy, always do it with a grenade. When the smoke clears go into the hole and shoot the bastards as well; even if they are in pieces; make sure the fuckers aren't going to get up again." "If ever you want to stop a lot of men who are hoping to introduce you to the Almighty, Boy, you need a Machine Gun. You can knock them over by the dozen." Many a shed hour; many a tale. "How many men do you think you killed, Grandad?" "Hundreds, Boy; fucking hundreds." When I asked him about being troubled by the memories he just replied, "There ain't no nice side of a war. We wasn't there for any reason other than to kill them fellers that were running towards us. If I didn't get them first, Boy, they would have done just the same to me. I'm still here and they ain't." "I've never heard you talk about the war in the house, Grandad." "Some things ain't for a lady's ears, Boy."
Me and Grandad come from Essex, England. Grandad was a working man, a builder's labourer, for the whole of his life; now he is long gone, (mid-1980's). Every word is true; Grandad was a man who called a spade a spade and spoke the truth about everything, "If you tell the truth, Boy, you ain't got to have a good memory. People don't like being told it, but that's their problem, not yours; as long as you've told the truth." Walter George Andrews - 1910 ->1980's R.I.P, you ornery old sod.
Germans used to do that, that, fight till the last breathe, then when they are overtaken surrender, but you think about it, if the Machine gun crew has killed all your mates you wouldnt have mercy
It was weak because he didn't focus on the battle let alone the damn war... He made it a "love story" just like his new Movie "Hyena Road" which was supposed to be about Afghanistan yet has a "love story" in it...
Travis Finlay well to the Canadian he has just killed his friend for no reason. In reality not only was it the older German who shot but he had perfect reasons it seemed like about to kill the nest with a grenade
I thought I'd read some comments on Passchendaele, Ypres the Canadians; the only men that came close to the ANZAC's on the Western Front but all I read are some children talking about a game.
There was an actual satirical newspaper illegally distributed among soldiers on the western front called the "wiper's times". BBC came out with a cool movie style documentary about it a couple years ago.
He did it because he's in hostile territory, in which the Germans are fortified. He couldn't take a prisoner, but the Germans could. The movie also has to have a bit of a character development subplot.
well considering that he said comrade and subsequently got shot at, he was a little pissed at the fact that after all that happend, this little kid german has the balls to say what he said. hoping to live. oh the irony.
supposedly the stab to the forehead was something that actually happen. I can't believe someone kill a boy as gorgeous as that, and defenseless too. I can understand how the real man who did that had nightmares.

their is no doubt the Canadians were and probably still are great soldiers.I was watching a program the other day and it was said that out of all the allied forces they feared the Canadians the most. You have to give credit where credit is due
also you have got to admire the way they conduct themselves. You never hear a Canadian brag about there war exploits. They never chuck in your face. I have always had the greatest respect for them. They have always been a good friend to and i for one greatly appreciate it
john lewis Mate, clearly you never heard of a Canadian brag about the War of 1812 burning down the white house -- despite that the English actually burned it down, not the Canadians
I dont get that, he tried to surrender and expected the germans not to shoot, but he doesnt care about the german trying to surrender? Is that the message people should learn?
I know that WWI was a game changing war with the first inhumane weaponry as gas and such and the war was degrating and all, but WWIII probably won't be like that, and still those guys just entered france and emediatly turned into savages without having reasons to hold grudges so I find your argument invalid.
This film really loves yanking, flipping and twirling people around.

Many a shed hour; many a tale.

don't forget there were boys on the war that they wanted to live and not fight or kill someone
that part pissed me off
Because they shot that private... War mixed with anger can make you do awful things.
It was a boy forced to fight by his gorvernement, he didn't mean any thread to them...
Because WWI was a brutal, grinding trench war. Plus he'd just seen his buddies mowed down...
This is passchendaele but you featured saving private Ryan
This film really loves yanking, flipping and twirling people around.. That's the TRUE history of how Harry Potter got his scar! xD.
Talk about instant karma
Jesus , Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!!!!!!
Haha, What are you talking about? *casually changes the title*
Thank you some one who See's my point of view
That's war for ya
Why is "Saving Private Ryan" in the description?
How do you know that? On the First Day of the Somme there was a German Machine Gunner who was 15
its implied that he is the one that shot the guy that was surrendering. Thats why he stuck the bastard.
Well this movie wastes no time
The music during the battle sequences really ruins how intense it could be
@jensibowable Canadians don't take prisoners xD
That machine gun would have mowed them down
This is war
They mentioned the "wiper's" papers...nice
David Tran What 'wiper's" papers?Wipers was what the British called Ypres.
There was an actual satirical newspaper illegally distributed among soldiers on the western front called the "wiper's times". BBC came out with a cool movie style documentary about it a couple years ago.
David Tran I did not know that thanks. He said: "Up around Wipers they put one in a bar." He would have been referring to Ypres the city. Y pers.
+ascoop22 No.
XtraGamingHD No what?
3:08 how my mom feels when me and my siblings are around the age of 3 and arrant listening😂
aren't*
That German gave him a dirty look.
He didn't kill anyone to my opinion, he was the little boy who would be told to stay back and clean the guns, he wasn't a warrior.
Man that sargent had shit men
The lead looks so much like Bruce Campbell lol
historically both sides executed prisoners some times so they would not have to take them back to base
actually the British and french did it as well
look at those twirling bodies
is this a game of garrys mod???????
He did it because he's in hostile territory, in which the Germans are fortified. He couldn't take a prisoner, but the Germans could. The movie also has to have a bit of a character development subplot.
What german said?
well considering that he said comrade and subsequently got shot at, he was a little pissed at the fact that after all that happend, this little kid german has the balls to say what he said. hoping to live. oh the irony.
He only aided to do it, he was still just a boy
Dude as a question do you still remember writing this comment
I know some 20 year Old's That are running home Grown Businesses
Discount Bruce Campbell.
Idk about you guys but I kinda liked the movie
Maybe because I'm 12😂
1:02
supposedly the stab to the forehead was something that actually happen.
I can't believe someone kill a boy as gorgeous as that, and defenseless too.
I can understand how the real man who did that had nightmares.
+crackshack2 that's the point- to show how shocking war is
Would you let him live? He just killed half your squad and just tried to kill you. I would kill him.
u must be a woman. thats why the ladies stay at home while the men fight.
@Conph says the obese, neckbeard, mlp loving manchild that still lives in his mother's basement and thinks playing shit like Battlefield makes him knowledgeable of war. lmao
Somnolent I'm an 18 year old man studying Mathematics and Economics at UBC. Got a 6 in History in the IB program where I understood the true context of the First World War, and can deadlift 315 pounds for 2 reps. Come at me bro, you're the guy with the stupid manga profile picture.
Doesn't love you.
This whole scene seems silly, a machine gun does not miss at that range and artillery landing that close, would have blown his limbs apart.
Retaliation huh? He's a grown up man, he knows 16 year olds are cockey, that's no excuse to retaliate.
I Live not very far from the Battlefields of East Flanders
5:33 fat L taken
canadians great soldiers
I think Winston Churchill once said something like if I had british officers, American technology and Canadian soldiers I'd rule the world
their is no doubt the Canadians were and probably still are great soldiers.I was watching a program the other day and it was said that out of all the allied forces they feared the Canadians the most. You have to give credit where credit is due
also you have got to admire the way they conduct themselves. You never hear a Canadian brag about there war exploits. They never chuck in your face. I have always had the greatest respect for them. They have always been a good friend to and i for one greatly appreciate it
john lewis
Mate, clearly you never heard of a Canadian brag about the War of 1812 burning down the white house -- despite that the English actually burned it down, not the Canadians
@@sashimi2424 Actually, there were Canadian militia companies there. A few hundred men at best.
welcome to war. sad isnt it
he just killed that paranoid guy i will have done the same but not stabbing him just by shooting him
I dont get that, he tried to surrender and expected the germans not to shoot, but he doesnt care about the german trying to surrender? Is that the message people should learn?
I feel this scene is good, except when he uses the body as a shield. That was stupid and unncessary.
I know that WWI was a game changing war with the first inhumane weaponry as gas and such and the war was degrating and all, but WWIII probably won't be like that, and still those guys just entered france and emediatly turned into savages without having reasons to hold grudges so I find your argument invalid.
Got anymore pixels
Loved this movie growing up...but now that im grown up...man this is bad lol
The ending of this scene is karma
Like why would you kill a young kid if he wants to live and go home! If i was him i would help him
thats live... or ...eh more death
lmao
?????
Kud? :D
Like when they shot up the other kid who was surrendering?
They saw the grenade in his hand
I felt so bad he looked like he was 16
