That line killed me I almost fell off my chair

The one former Grenadier in the unit looks at you suspiciously as if you were an Allied spy.

FR THO

There was an actual joke that was in circulation among troops in German-occupied France in 1944 that was similar. It went something like... "If the planes are black, it is RAF. If they're white, it's the Americans. If you don't see anything, it's the Luftwaffe!"

In ww2 children were forced to join the German army and they often did use em.

Its a line from Lord of war.

@@Challenger2MBT efficient soilders, small hit boxes and low production cost

@@kk7324 Lol

Same for the children

Same

It's like a German novella I read when studying at the university (I'm a Swede but fluent in German). The story told about a colonel who had had power over a million km2 in the occupied parts of the Soviet Union "but that had now shrunk together to a couple of barracks in northern Mecklenburg".

It's a shit film. You like it? You are shat, then

I love David’s collaboration with them 😂

David just gets it and rolls with it every time.

The tank museum does a really good job working with other KZfaqrs and the gaming industry

David is such a great sport about it. What a legend!

@@somethingelse516 Gotta pay for the upkeep of all those machines some how

I too remember the good old days. But Squire seems to enjoy this so much.

he's gotten a better graphics card so he can crank the settings

Would've been more authentic. Guess they had to settle for those metal models

Card Board, Plywood and paper mache... Sounds like with a bit more glue you could build a jet plane out of it

They had cardboard Brad Pitt tho.

Please have mercy, sir.

@@SquireComedy The Canadians should be saying that. Well, not for very long anyway.

At least do a 10 minute video about it PLEASE

That's would be amusing , if it wasn't so damn tragic !!

POV: Me

That one true believer still holding on

@@kostakatsoulis2922 There's always one

Good god man think of the films content, what would there be if they did that.

Yeah, once the tank breaks down in the middle of the road, the movie just becomes fantasy. As soon as they found out the tank was manned and just mobility killed, the germans could have used so many routes to just flank the thing and kill it with no or very low casualties, instead they decide to stand in the open and just get shot. It broke immersion for me.

didn't you see the arial shot at the end? even though it was immobile and could only shoot forward, it was still surrounded at all sides by dead germans and in very even dispersion too. Miracle-gun, I tell you

To be honest it’s when the film has its first major action sequence that I lost interest and realised just how foolish it was. That Pak40 would have destroyed all those Shermans, as would the tiger that they magically surrounded and bounced rounds from (whichever came first). It was just a bad film from beginning to end, inglorious bastards was more realistic than Fury.

@@joebloggs7514 To be at least a tiny bit fair ( only a tiny bit mind you ) The first bounce was off a Jumbo. A Sherman field modded to be more resistant to incoming fire. And Fury itself was an Easy 8...A Sherman purpose built to kill Tigers. And the bounces were at point blank range on the rounded armour of the turrets. Which contrary to popular opinion decreases the damage a shell would do. Especially from something as big as an 88mm. It's still a little too much but honestly it wasn't the worse offender by far.

You got a good name

I was thinking the same, that was NCO quality sarcasm.

Every time he shows up is just an absolute delight

They lost me at the toy gun add. After Dave showed up I'm giving it a thumbs up.

I wonder what would happen if he'd be put in range of Lindy "TANKS!" Beige...

​@@IVANGROZNEYGod forbid they want to monetize their work separately from KZfaq

There isn’t a man with a pulse or millilitre of testosterone in the world who wouldn’t like to have a go driving a tank. This is is also true of most women.

@@SweetSniper5197 I don't know either.

Phwoah

@@SweetSniper5197 yes yes.. they need to be nerfed, arent we nigel?

Thanks, you cheeky monkey.

To be fair, all the smart Germans had already surrendered, deserted, or were killed by 1945.

@@wolfrainexxxnot exactly true

That is wild.

Yeah I mean the movie features a panzershreck (which could pen it from the front from a couple hundred metres) bouncing from the back at point blank range.

@@tony-te7gd Indeed. And if the Sherman could reliably actually do that, then maybe the author of the book wouldn't have UTTERLY HATED the sherman as much as he did.

@@tyrongkojy Problem with Shermans is there are so many variants that radically change the vehicle that talking about them as one model of tank will always result in a mess.

@@laurie1183 Still, apparently the author of the book HATED them. Like, ALL of them. And was criticized for some of the things he said about them, which I guess were, according to critics, "grossly inaccurate".

Lunch break

There was a real story which is maybe familiar to author of the book. Only it was a soviet tank on the crossing. KV-2. It destroyed 12 supply trucks which were then followed by two 50mm anti-tank guns. An 88mm gun was knocked out at a range of over 900 meters. The germans then mounted a night raid in which two satchel charges were attached to the Russian tank. They were blown but the tank continued to fire. The next morning a feint attack was made by light panzers while another 88mm gun was brought up to finish the tank off. The tank was finally silenced when two assault engineers pushed stick grenades through a hole at the base of the turret.

Thanks Chris, we try!

@@SquireComedy it's your overwhelming Britishness that does it, love the channel guys keep it up

​@@christ4032I think he is jewish not british.

The tanks name was 'in the mood' and they had 3 of them.. kinda neat it was a true story but hollyweird had to sprinkle farry dust on it, the actual story is similar but even more amazing imo.

@@markrix nope

It would have been so much better if he was captured and then at the end of the movie we see him being who got skewed from a liberated Pow Camp all beat up. It would have shown what often happened to two people who got captured

Come to tankfest mate, you can teach me the correct pronunciations for all the German kit.

@@SquireComedy Deal. First thing you can also tell the curator when he follows you the next time is that it is "Kanonenjagdpanzer" or "Jagdpanzer Kanone" and not "Jagdkanone" as he keeps saying. That should throw him of long enough so that you can make good youd escape. 😉 And your German as "Herr Leutnant" a few videos back, was already quite good.

Don't bother watching the rest of Fury, it is just like this but with SS and more Germans dying.

Sadly, that was more fact than fun on numerous occasions.

You need to watch films from the regular German army perspective

obviously

Very obviously, since Norman is an extremely rare name in Germany.

@@francisdec1615 Oh I didn’t know that

I wonder what the equivalent German name would be. Probably Conrad, though technically that's based on Charles.

Amen

Watch this space. Tiger video coming featuring real Tiger :)

Let me paste my comment here also. Fury is probably based on a real story. Only it was a soviet tank on the crossing. KV-2. It destroyed 12 supply trucks which were then followed by two 50mm anti-tank guns. An 88mm gun was knocked out at a range of over 900 meters. The germans then mounted a night raid in which two satchel charges were attached to the Russian tank. They were blown but the tank continued to fire.

The tank was finally silenced when two assault engineers pushed stick grenades through a hole at the base of the turret.

@@imperial387 This still makes no sense. As a retired infantry officer, 200 of my soldiers would take 3 minutes to destroy an immobilized tank by itself, without infantry support, and in the dark. Easiest kill possible

@@markc8401 It's Hollywood. They tend to exaggerate.

@@imperial387 That they do! But occasionally a movie gets it right...or close enough to being right, that brings a smile to my face

@@markc8401 There is a good reason why tanks were the kings of battlefield 70 years ago. Today we have human sized weapons that can sent those 60+ tons beasts to hell in a matter of minutes while in ww2 you had tanks who couldn't even penetrate enemy tanks.

They forced them to listen to their 12 hours long tour.

Actual COD protagonist in real life.

Well, he was an undersized 20 year old from Texas, so you can’t expect him to perform like one of those full-sized Texas A&M football chaps. Give him a break, man!

​@@cinder1667yup and all he had was a radio and the .50 cal mounted on top of a burning M10 Tank destroyer

Where did he even got all that .50 ammunition from to kill 250 people?

Hush man, you've outed yourself to corporate Gestapo as a movie downloader! Don't you know that threatens a tiny, infinitesimal portion of their vast profits?

@@weldonwin I could be a deep agent, luring out others to confess their crimes...bet you didn't consider that, you Pirate sympathizer!!

Maybe, but I don't know why you would use them in that particular scenario with a fuse that long.

They were intended as offensive grenades for use in trench fighting, I believe so they had the longer fuse and of course the long handle in order to throw them further to get them into an enemy trench or foxhole before an assault

Sweden had similar grenades, although we didn't take part in the war. There was also an extension that could be screwed on the top, so that it became a pretty powerful bomb with 1 or 1.5 kilos of TNT (the grenade itself "only" contains a couple of hundred grams),

God bless the volkssturm! 😂
