Funny thing is that one of the novels I read bothered to explain that the lasers you see in the movie are tracer rounds for the ACTUAL lasers that do damage, which neatly explains WHY you can see a laser in space when you physic says you shouldn't be able to. It's a ret con but as ret cons go it's a pretty good one.

Rebels were based on the Viet Minh not the Americans. No idea why this myth keeps getting spread even after Lucas himself mentions this.

@@Petey0707 Probably because there are many similarities between Star Wars and the real world. Rebels aginst Empire= American Revolution. Palpatine' s rise to Power = Hitler. Other sources say "Yeah Amercians use red tracer ammo, and the SOVIETS used green". And, more scientific approaching sources, say "Well, green lasers energy levels are higher than the red ones, and the Imperium is technologically more sophisticated than the rebels." You are right, Lucas opposes the Vietnam War and defintiely said, his story of rebels against an enormous empire referred to this conflict. The problem is, Lucas himself said repeatedly, that this situation occured multiple times in histroy and that he took inspiration from many. But the starting point for him, true, was the Vietnam War. Still, we can't be sure 100 % where he took inspiration for each and very part or fact for Star Wars from. As far as I know, it could be any conflict. Sooo... unless you really got a source, where Lucas says :"Oh well, that lasers come from the tracer ammo of this or that conflict." we are both right and wrong.

The Average German Soldier you became a POW now for the SS There was “No Quarter” that’s why Angel Mag dumped that SS officer with the busted arm

@@TheArrowedKnee Actually it was very accurate. By that point in the war, the Krauts were desperate, made kids fight (see Hitler Youth, one of my ancestors took a pin off a corpse) and with the crimes against humanity of the Krauts in full display, the SS were often gunned down. The Allies committed plenty of war crimes, but we won so history tends to forgive it.

Did what fought in world war 2.

Yes, it is. Unimaginable by todays standards but they did what they had to do. God bless them.

Hard to believe any of them did any of this, at any age. As is said in the film, "it will end, soon. But before that, a lot more people have to die". They depended on each other, and the world depended on them. It is because of the sacrifices and choices they made that we live the fortunate lives we live.

Plot Twist: The Burgemeister is actually the real SS commander and this poor young Hitlerjugend is dutifully following his order.

@@mcbrians.8508 I've actually thought about that a lot since I saw this movie. Changing clothes and putting his uniform on someone else to get executed for him is something I could see an SS officer doing.

@@cid2852 look how shocked the burgemeister is after he was shoved by the executioner, in his mind he's like "I'm sorry buddy".

That exasperated "ja" says so much.

You did not become a mayor in a german town in the third Reich without being somebody in the party. They were not elected but appointed. But especially the lower echelons of the NSDAP and the communal administration were getting ready for the time after the war. So, his desire to capitulate is historically accurate. The "Goldfasane" (golden pheasants, so called for their brown uniforms) did not like the fanatical SS executioners. At least at this time of the war.

Unwritten and unconfirmed orders from Ike was that he didn't want to see any SS POWs; especially after what happened at Malmedy.

Can you blame them? And yet German apologists today STILL whine about that. "Ooo..they got shot after surrendering" The SS (sometimes, and only sometimes) got treated precisely as they treated others....too damn bad.

Yup. They started doing it in retaliation for when SS troopers executed surrendered American soldiers during the Battle of the Bulge.

Yeah rightfully so. Why waste the time and effort to build a gallows for em?

I heard after a while they started interrogating them first since a number of ss officers would exchange their ss uniforms for some poor clueless regular army boi who doesn’t know any better

or just a is there signs he is alive? no move on.

Thinking too much is not a good thing in those scenarios.. might be what you said but in a logical moment where you just reacting to the moment its more just is he alive no move on. Let the burial squad deal with him.

I take credit away for the loading in response to taking a hit (ridiculous, they'd be ready to go 100%) and for the MG to completely severe the leg of the soldier before the guy even started to fall, like idk, maybe being picky but is this legit made for 10 year olds? its not that hard to not include those two unrealistic details

@@ak4344 The MG42 fired at 1200 RPM, if my maths is correct then that is 20 rounds per second. 20 rounds have gone through his leg and out the other side before he knew what was happening and he was hit below the knee, which is usually the thinnest part of your leg. The 42 could cut someone in half if you shot them enough so it's no surprise that it removed his leg.

stop playing so much call of duty it's not good for you

also the most unrealistic ww2 scene i've ever seen!

It is ugly, because it is close to the truth. Nothing is uglier than the truth.

Most of those soldiers carrying rifles for the USA are kids too. You'll understand at 30, why 19 is still a kid.

They have videos about the Hitler Youth

@@androlis671 Sure the tank firing its main gun at anything except that anti tank gun is inaccurate, but this fighting is actually alright in terms of ww2 urban warfare, see literally any urban battle in the history of the second world war, or even before it with the Japanese invasions during the 30's. Hitler Youth were commonly used as ground troops throughout the war, especially when Germany was breathing its last. Allies also definitely committed their fair share of no mercy type war crimes, and positioning for German machine gun nests at choke points looking over streets throughout a town are Tactics 101 for guerilla or military units today. Did you never study any war in the history of humanity before seeing this video or did you ride the short bus throughout your childhood?

Still an extrajudicial execution without due process. Rule of law should have been what separated us from who we were fighting. That's why the Nuremberg trials were so important. Without due process, how are we any better then murderous savages?

@@BDNeon Considering how many on the lower level got away, I wish more would have solved the SS-problem in this manner. As an SS-Officer, he lived outside the law and got killed outside the law. instant karma.

Everybody knew, including civilians, that the war wasn't far from over, & the nazi fanatics wouldn't be in power to retaliate anymore. Better to let the Americans know, let them eliminate a butcher who would stoop to murdering kids, & leave their home & country safer for everyone.

There's also accounts of US or Soviet soldiers being so horrified by the concentration camps that they would "accidentally" leave the SS prisoners tied up together with the former Jewish or other prisoners and a few weapons.

The guy who hung people, was a Waffen-SS officer. Fanatical Nazis through and through and responsible for things even worse than this. The Soviet Army would execute every man, wearing a Waffen-SS uniform on the spot, they actually got permission to do it from the Soviet High Command. Officially, executing surrendered enemy soldiers/officers was considered a war crime for US/British troops, but there are many instances where they did exactly this without any repercussions.

Even more impactful when you realize the dead soldier (Sergeant Miles) was their combat leader.

or checking if alive. most logical scenario in the situation. If so call medic if not move on. let the company that deals with dead bodies do their thing. Other than close friends in shock it doesn't make sense otherwise. Just how we think of how war should be vs how war is. and I'm putting a big on how it probably was. You really got to de connect your self to make it through heavy trauma like that.

@@AlphaQ23 i served in the infantry. the most important thing you can do to save those mens’ lives are actually to leave them where they be. move forwards and assault through whatever killed them and clear the area. when we secure objectives we always make sure to clear enemies and sort out epw before any aid and litter are called, in line with what you see depicted. calling a medic in this instance would make sense, yet is foolish, as a man distracted trying to carry bodies cannot defend himself, and as a combat leader you would be putting another man in danger trying to help.

I love it, he's just like "hey, _you_ said..."

Russian soldiers treated german women and girls far far worse

From a legal standpoint this is clearly a warcrime. Even at that time it would be one. And in my opinion it's also not about the point of beeing convicted for such a crime. The main point in my opinion is this: It's a war and this SS-officer forced children to fight a already lost battle. He was an extremist to the core, even killing his own for disobeying or even questioning his orders. There is a chance he would get away with his crimes as many others did. And no one tried to save him, which is also a statement on it's own. And how could someone like him even be a part of a free society, an indoctrination like this as almost uncureable. How do you reintegrate someone in your society who killed a mother just because she feared for her children and stood up for them? So in my opinion this was a unlawfull kill but from a morale standpoint, it was absolutely right.

it wouldn't even get written down

I wouldn't give a second thought about giving the order and been glad to pull the trigger. I mean, I quick death is a whole lot more compared to what they would do if the shoe was on the other foot. As Don states perfectly at the climax. “Please don't. They’ll hurt you real bad. And they'll kill you real bad” - Don to Norman who wanted to surrender to SS

Sadly, if something like this happened today, the US media would be jumping all over it as a "war crime" and using it to score points with the liberals.

no, you volunteer either because you have no other economic opportunities or you believe in patriotism. when you are in war, you're then fighting for your buddy, but what are you dying for? the same thing the roman legions and the greeks died for

@@victorsforza5578 No exactly the opposite. The frontal armor of the M4A3E6 or E8 was sloped enough to deflect a HVAP 75mm AT round. The logs would in fact deflect the round down, decreasing angle that strikes the armor plate thereby decreasing the effective thickness of the Sherman's armor.

There's a movie with Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta called Two of a Kind. Skipping the details of the movie, there is a scene near the end where some police officers are mobilized. One of them takes position and has what looks like your typical M16... But as he takes aim, his trigger hand is holding the M16 like you would hold a rifle that didn't have a pistol grip. His thumb was up behind the charging handle, with his fingers wrapping around the part of the gun where the receiver and stock meet.

Yup. Napalm literally sucks the oxygen out of the air as you burn so that you suffocate as you burn to death. Willie Pete will burn right through you as long as it's exposed to oxygen. Makes dying from a bullet in the brain bucket a lot more appealing.

@@DLordSadow My thoughts exactly

That's interesting, but I've never heard that before. Do you have a source? Although it does appear common enough in pictures to have some truth to it, there are lots of pictures of surrendering Germans with helmets still on, including during combat operations (as opposed to a mass, negotiated surrender, where you'd be less likely to be shot).

@@kyleross8817, that came from my Grandpa, a Sherman tank driver in the 3rd Armored Division. He was in combat from the hedgerow country in Normandy in June of '44, across France & Belgium, into Aachen & Stolberg, Germany during the Battle of the Hurtgen Forest, & then back into Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge, where he was wounded his third & final time in January of '45. He saw a very great number of Germans surrender, & told me it was common knowledge that bare-headed & no helmet was a universal sign they were done fighting. This was most common among those who slipped away from their units & approached the allied lines to surrender, when not in direct combat. Considering his time & breadth of experience as an eye-witness, I considered him an authority on such matters, & he wasn't one to ever stretch the truth or tell tall tales about his wartime experiences.

That's a cool story! My grandpa was a sherman tank commander for the BC Dragoons in Italy. Unfortunately, he's not still around to tell me what Germans were doing in Italy, but I agree it sounds very likely. Pictures of surrendering Germans with helmets on aren't as common, and probably come from a relatively last-minute situation, where you're already wearing it and not thinking too straight.@@grantgarrod2232

People theorized that and I hopped on that but someone pointed something specific out. The guy who ended up getting shot wearing the uniform wore that uniform perfectly, had it tailored to him and all so he seems legit

It's a movie. Plot armor happens. Do you have the same complaint regarding the Tiger battle in the same movie, where Fury's 76mm could have punched right through the Tiger's front end multiple times at the distance they were fighting?

I took it as they got impatient, fired too early, and the shot bounced because it hit at an angle.

​@singleproppilot also agree with this and they were probably some civilians forced to fight and not all regular army

Idk about that bud. That almost looks like one of the older PAK guns, a 37 or maybe 50mm, at dead on yea, fury isn't a Sherman Jumbo and it'd cut right through the front plate, but it looks like the didn't account for the base upward angle of where they set the gun and the Sherman 76s already real steep upward angle of the front plate. The round would, probably, sheer a chunk out of the front plate but still ricochet off at what could be as much as a 70 degree angle with out much damage. Even more so if it was one of the lower velocity early war rounds they had a good stock of rather then the later war high velocity rounds that were hard to come by this late in the war. Just my two cents as a tank nerd.
