The most realistic reaction to deciding to stay to commit suicide like this is Grady's reaction. He's crying because he knows he's going to get killed if he stays and he doesn't want to die, not yet. All the death he's seen but he knows if he's stays forsure he's dead and how exactly will he die and how bad could it be and how bad is it going to hurt is what's he's processing. He's very reluctant to stay and he even says Fuck You to Wardaddy but he's has a strong conviction and obligation to stay. Worse part is he got the most painful death out of them all.

[@rooseveltdarbey9493]

He fucked up a couple hundred Germans, went to the rear to get his guys to regroup and counterattack the larger force. I think the writers of this movie used that story a little bit.

[@grast5150]

That BS statement. The Panzerfaust I is what is shown. The max range was 100 meters but the actual effective range is 20 meters. There is a reason why at the start of the film. The scene illustrates the use of Panzerfaust as extremely close range and ambush weapon. The only thing wrong with this scene is that Fury waited too long. They should have engaged the SS at 600 yards. Additionally, should have had someone on the 50 as well. Since the SS were in a column, they could have killed or injured 1/2 of the column in the first volley especially with the 50 opening up. Plus at 600 yards, It would have taken them much longer to close the distance to become a threat with the Panzerfaust.

[@elxaime]

This scene has been torn apart many times, but hey why not one more time: - the Germans by this stage of the war, and as shown here, have numerous infantry-held anti-tank weapons that can turn any US Sherman tank into Swiss cheese - unless these were some of the late war dregs of the SS, which is possible, the SS troops were dangerous foes. They would not march into unknown territory without a point scout/scouts - the tank is disabled right next to a farmhouse which provides cover to approach, partially blocks it field of fire, and hence is perfect for a German to creep up and use one of the hand-held anti-tank weapons, and the Americans have no apparent height advantage to compensate IRL, doing what Brad Pitt's character does here would almost certainly be rewarded with quick and utter defeat. Contrast this scene with Sahara, the Humphrey Bogart film made during WW2 about a similar situation, featuring a lone tank. But in that movie, the defenders were in fortified positions on good defensive terrain, had some infantry support, and albeit heavily outnumbered the Germans were dying of thirst (and end up surrendering for that reason). Even then it was a stretch, but they knew no actual WW2 veteran would find it believable if they didn't add all the above circumstances to make it somewhat plausible. In this movie, all that is stripped away and you are left with bare bones Hollywood fantasy.

These were thinks I saw. Just seeming to be unrealistic. Such as I would point out the SS sniper that took out Brad Pitt's character, and what didn't look to be to far away, took at least THREE shots. And none of them were kill shots. Also, why leave ammunition outside your tank when you will surely need it later in battle? And, really, the SS infantry man at the end of the battle seeing the American under the tank, just let him go? I am calling BS on that.

[@2serveand2protect]

PS. Wouldn't have been better for them to DISMANTLE ALL THE MG's from that "Sherman" & REDEPLOY THEM on the sides of that road & behind the tank - then use the tank itself as bait? - maybe firing few rounds into that column in rapid succession, then abandon it and BLOW IT UP once the enemy infantry was almost upon it? They have at least 3 MG's they can easily take out within minutes from the tank and redeploy. It's very easy to assess the numerical strenght of ONE TANK with a busted track firing (alone) in all directions - that's one target and pretty easy to overcome (especially by nightime). On the other side 3 MG-NESTS forming a line of fire are not only much more difficult to overcome (even by a whole infantry batallion), but it is also much more dificult to assess the numerical strenght behind them. 5 guys operating 3MG's (one of them a heavy .50cal) - plus their personal weapons - all of them could make enough of a "ruckus" even to the point of making those Germans "reconsider".

[@markhubbard9165]

@2serveand2protect True, but is any road outside one's house "home"? War"Daddy" doesn't think so...he considers that tank AS his "home" and "THAT" is what he'll defend. Too bad they deleted the scene where Wardaddy shares his backstory: it would have clarified his decision to stay.

[@2serveand2protect]

It's a great scene - doesn't make much sense for how do they intend to fight the incoming enemy infantry, but it shows one historically accurate aspect of a WW2 tanker's life - i.e: how would they become attached to their tanks and consider them "home", as well as consider their crew-mates as "family". In battle-conditions they would live, eat, fight, sh*t&piss in their tanks for DAYS on end without even getting out. You survive enemy fire & artillery barrages all inside that tiny "steel-coffin" - all that creates a bond that even a "regular" infantryman doesn't have with the other soldiers in his unit - AND - it creates a bond between them and "the tank" itself ("Wardaddy" saying - quote: "Go guys! This is my home!").

[@redaug4212]

No professional tanker would get attached to his tank. That's pure Hollywood sentimentality. Life inside of tanks was stifling in the heat, freezing in the cold, and reeked constantly. Tankers would get out at the first opportunity to sleep, eat, or relieve themselves. Any necessity of staying inside a tank was exactly that, a necessity. Often times a tanker would cycle through several tanks throughout his career because of how disposable they were; and tankers understood that. General Creighton Abrams, the most famous US tanker of the war, for example, cycled through several tanks between 1942-1945, with his final tank being _Thunderbolt VII_ . This was because tankers were forced to upgrade to newer models of the M4 as they became more available. Given that Fury's crew, according to the movie, had been together since North Africa, abandoning tanks should be something they're very much accustomed to.

@@redaug4212 Quote: "no professional tanker would ever get attached to his tank". Oookay?... that's your opinion - fine. ...but that's not what I heard and read, though. For instance - the character from the movie "Fury" - "Wardaddy" - is loosely based on real-life Staff-Sergeant Lafayette Pool (credited with destroying around 230 or 240 - I don't remember anymore) - German vehicles (infantry carriers, trucks, tanks, AT-guns & whatnot). Pool was nicknamed "War Daddy" (separated) as the guy from the movie - Pool though never went to fight in Africa or Italy - he started to fight in Normandy and ended up his career in Germany (...somewhere near Acheen). Now! - pool had his M4 "Sherman" KO-out at least THREE TIMES (that I REMEMBER OF). Each time he was given a brand-new "Sherman" he named it with the SAME NICKNAME - ALL THE TIMES - even when he passed onto the "Easy Eight" (the one "Sherman" model you see in the movie) he STILL MANTAINED THE SAME TANK'S NICKNAME -> "In The Mood". That's "not a sign" of bonding? Finally in Germany he was blown out by an 88mm's shell out of his tank - landing several meters away (...with a leg missing!). His last words before losing consciousness were "TAKE CARE OF MY TANK". What does THAT tell you either? (...he survived & went back over "the Pond"...). PS. ...I could go on with such stories for hours, (even though I've never served on a tank) but I can also tell you what happens between a plane & his pilot - OR - I could just go on telling you what happens when a crew member (especially a vital one, like driver or gunner) - decides to take a "stroll outside" while his tank is stopped (IN AN AMBUSH POSITION) - STALKING NONE OTHER THAN MICHAEL WITTMAN HIMSELF. The imbecile decides to get out TO TAKE PEE (instead of peeing inside the tank!). It happened to a Brit "Cromwell"-crew who stalked Wittman's "Tiger" during the Battle of Villers Bocage. They saw Wittman's simply passing in front of them - as close as 30 meters - with his flank exposed ...I think it was the same "Cromwell" commanded by Pat Dyas (later on ko-out by the same Wittman). At the moment the TC saw the Tiger and ordered to fire...BUT HIS GUNNER WASN'T THERE! (as WEIRD as it sounds, but unfortunately for the British - also TRUE!). I don't know what happened to that gunner (probably he died later on, during the battle) ...but I know what happened to the British forces in Villers-Bocage! Google it out, if You want! That's why tankers remain in their tanks, WHENEVER THE ENEMY 'S NEARBY ...and that can take WEEKS! Best Regards. :)

[@redaug4212]

@@2serveand2protect Exactly, Pool cycled through multiple M4s as well. That was part of the job of being a tanker. Your "home" has less of a life expectancy than you do, and you'll find yourself in a new tank in no time. Pool kept the name for identification purposes, which makes sense from a tactical perspective. Some tankers did the Roman numeral thing to count how many different tanks they've gone through, others didn't. It's not indicative of being attached to any particular tank in either case. Pool also told his CO to take care of his tank because it was toppled over while backing up, and therefore was still salvageable. Again, not quite indicative of being emotionally attached, though I do see how you could interpret it that way.

Not a lot of movies make it clear just how much different the SS was from regular German trools. They were usually the most experience, the best equipped, and made from true "believers" in the Nazi cause. As such, they were proivided all the supplies and support they needed even when the war was about to end and other troops may have been starving.The SS also acted as the German military police.

Wardaddy was so emotionally attached to the tank. It got him through five different theaters of war. He was so convinced they'd win, since the tank was seemingly invincible. He had to know sooner or later his luck would run out. He's not the one at fault though. When he said "This is my home" he basically said: "Fury has gotten us through five different campaigns. I ain't about to let those kraut bastards capture her. She's as much family to me as any of you boys. If you want out, now's the time" He never forced them to stay. They chose to stay by his side of their own free will.

@@dashikashi4734 that is very true. But my father served (he died 2 years ago) in the SS-Division "Das Reich" and although he did not tell very much about the war, he always confirmed the good material they had. In fact is was so good, that a Sherman could not stand a chance against a Panther or Tiger tank. Shermans were mostly knocked out on distances of 2 to up nearly 4 kilometers. They had only a chance by nearer distances. But this movie scene is utmost disrespectful, historical false and misleading and to my opinion pure propaganda. Fighting against 200-300 SS soldiers was definitely no walk in the park and believe me, when they marched and sing like that, they were well equipped, in good fighting spirit and ready to engage at any time. And in most of the time they would have won, admitting that their casulties were beyond any reasonable tenability. My father once told, that they recaptured a village from the Russians to enable the civilians to reach the train to escape. They held the village for about 6 hours, outnumbered 8:1 in infantry and 4:1 in tanks and other heavy armor. from 3 own tanks none was left in the end and from about 100 soldiers 7 survived, all wounded. My father badly wounded. He got an Iron Cross 1st and the Wounded Badge in black. They were relocated to France, where he fought and got into french prisoner of war. He returned home 1948.
