i mean he was a pencil pusher who hasnt experienced combat, did people expect him to be a battle hardened soldier like the rest of the group? most of them went from africa straight to normandy and lived. he arrived later and was a desk jockey. yea it was hard to watch him let mellish die. also he saved that nazi soldier from being war crimed himself. yea, easy to hate, but i cant really fault him. he was dropped straight into the meat grinder

I know an army guy who was out in the Middle East, can’t remember where. He told me the best sound in the world wasn’t “you’re going home” but when it was danger close and the warthog would come in. The sound of that air craft coming in made him know that the enemy was heading out one way or another. It’s crazy, I couldn’t imagine it.

You know he was also the guy who had the knife fight with the Italian dude and stabbed him slowly in the heart, and then casually walked down the stairs past Upham, right? It was a really weird subplot if you think about it- it's like the writers wanted you to be so mad at that German that you wouldn't mind the fact that Upham blatantly committed a war crime.

There actually are quite a number of people like Upham who served in GWOT. I knew a guy back in Baghdad during the surge whose fear actually paralyzed him in the fight. He sat down in the gunners turret of the 1151, locked the turret shut and combat locked the doors (everyone except him- the gunner-including the driver dismounted the truck to sling lead in the fight) refused to fight or expose himself for the sake of anyone else. Funny thing was- he’s actually a great guy, but the fear beat the shit out of him and it messed him up for the rest our deployment.

[@gregorydacosta2102]

The scene itself is not gruesome. It is executed so well that it feels real. The most disturbing part of the scene is the feeling of helplessness. The finality of death is so abrupt. You feel so many emotions after the fact because you want to change what happened. Inevitably, you can't. This is why the movie is so good. It captures what real loss feels like. The sacrifices throughout the movie make the ending pay off so well.

[@JakvsMetalheads999]

For so many years I never realized Steamboat Willie shot Miller. I was always confused as to why Upham shot him, I always kind of figured it was just because he rejoined with the Germans instead of turning himself over to an Allied patrol as instructed, which I thought was kind of ridiculous. It makes a lot more sense when you realize Upham feels personally responsible for Miller dying, since he vouched for the guy that ended up killing him.

[@GDP-hm5ey]

You're wrong it was two different people.

[@JakvsMetalheads999]

@@GDP-hm5ey Nope, watch again. You’re thinking of the guy that kills Mellish, he shows up only in that scene. He looks somewhat similar to Steamboat Willie but you can tell he’s not the same guy, mainly because Willie is Wehrmacht and the Mellish guy is SS. The guy that shoots Miller and a few others is definitely Steamboat Willie, however.

Hate to point this out but what Upham did was clearly a warcrime, Steamboat Willie(the German soldier) likely being recruited again by SS kampfgruppe to storm the city they defended. Ofc knowing if he refused such order would mean certain death he had to fight once again and unfortunately killed the captain that spared his life.

Americans only fought 20% of the German army, but it was enough to give USSR an edge on the East and turnover the tides of the war. The German army was that formidable.

[@gideondavid30]

20% of the army. Where are you statistics please. The Americans also fought Japan and Italy as well with Japan being on a different front. Imagine if America didn't have to fight thru Italy or have to fight in the Pacific. The Germans were good, but they were not that good. And the USSR defeated Germany because Hitler underestimated Russian winter and didn't listen to his generals.

[@hotcakesism]

As a matter of fact, the turning point on the Eastern front was Stalingrad. There is a paper published by West Point after the war that argues as such, saying the support of the Western Allies had a negligible impact on that pivotal battle. Stalingrad concluded well before the Normandy invasion. Then in 1944, the Soviets destroyed the Axis' Army Group Center in Operation Bagration, roughly concurrent with the Normandy invasion. I'm a US citizen but I've got no problem stating the truth, that the Red Army secured our victory and freedom in 1942-43.
