Fun fact: That Tiger (Tiger 131) was real, captured by the Brits in 1943. Its the last operational one in the world, and the first time a real Tiger has been in a movie since 1950. Almost every time you see one in film its a mock-up built on top of other tanks,the one in Saving Private Ryan for example was a Russian T-34 with prosthetics.

Actually impressive you can stop and discuss for awhile after short clips then pick up like nothing happened. thanks for your service and hard work.

I hate to be that guy but, the opening line "US tank crewman suffered staggering losses" is a myth. US tanks (mostly the sherman) had some of the best crew survival rates of the war, especially compared to the germans or the soviets at around 3% dead. Before the introduction of wet stowage, shermans burned at roughly the same rate as the german Panzer IV (the sherman's german equivalent) (about 50-80%). Afterward shermans rarely caught fire at all in comparison (10-15%); granted this is most likely a combination of both the wet stowage decreasing the chance of an ammo fire and the fact that they physically moved the ammo in the tank to a location that was less likely to be hit, thereby making an ammo fire via penetration near zero. And as a side note the whole "It took five shermans to kill a tiger" is also a myth as well. The smallest unit of tanks in the US Army was five. So when they sent tanks out it was in groups of five or more. That and do you know how many times the US encountered tiger 1s in Europe? The answer is three. The first time the shermans won, the second time the pershing lost, and the third time the tiger was being loaded onto a train and got blown up without much of a fight. Edit: To whoever reads this, please don't mistake my above rant for anger or me be a @$$hole. I love Fury as a movie and Kit and Kira's reactions to it, but the inaccuracies that it perpetuates really grind my gears and I hope my rant will in fact make people interested enough to go and research this stuff for themselves instead of just parroting the common talking points that everybody just "knows".

4:13 Kit was pretty close, the smaller machine gun in front of Brad Pitt is a *.30* caliber M1919 and the larger one at the rear of the turret roof is an M2

He gave us a guided tour of the movie. Thank you for your service sir

The German SS battalion Officer clearly told his SS soldiers: They're running low on ammo, the pigs. We must finish them. Is that understood? THIS IS OUR LAND!

I think the soldier at the end that spares the drivers life, is supposed to represent the driver in the enemy.

I always saw it as kind of a mirror to the start Norman is saved by the innocence that the war forced him to give up and so that guy is the Norman of the Germans

Former Air Force Security Forces here. Our training is straight out of Army infantry training. When I first had that. Holy shit I'm at war thought My first deployment, I was in Kuwait. Sitting in a bunker with a 240 as overwatch on our search pit. A car took a wrong turn, sped up. But stopped maybe 5 feet from where I start engaging. Ended up being a confused TCN. After I got the all clear, I immediately lit up a smoke and had that oh fuck me moment "this is real, I'm in Kuwait in a bunker with a machine gun with orders to shoot to kill if a line gets crossed." Haven't really thought about that in awhile. Was interesting to have that dug out of my memory bank thanks to your conversation. Also, thank you for your service Marine.

The SS German soldier that left Norman alive had his own reasons. Not sure but several possible reasons. Mine are: 1) Drafted/Conscripted to fight at such a young age with little or no combat experience. Aside from that, he may not be fully committed to their cause/ideology. Meaning he wasn’t mentally driven deep enough to make him a fanatic patriot. Given it’s end the of war already, he probably only a had short period of military training. 2) Thinks that Norman had seen too much horror & that they may share the same feeling. Both just want peace. 3) Having a pure heart compared to the rest of his fellow servicemen. I quote “True courage is about knowing not when to take a life but when to spare one.” - Gandalf It just reminded of that scene so much after seeing that. 4) Didn’t see him as threat cuz he thinks he’s no soldier. Not a trained professional one so to speak. Can tell if you know body language.

You guys should react to more films like this one. If you haven't yet, you should watch Saving Private Ryan, The Hurtlocker, We Were Soldiers, Dunkirk, Lone Survivor, and Blackhawk Down.

25:27 The moment Germany got the soviets involved, they lost.

22nd birthday... A few clicks outside Baghdad. OohRah

If I remember right, they've been aware of the mental effects/trauma of combat for a very long time, it just went by different names from one era to the next and no effort was made to treat it like it was damage to be fixed until psychological treatment was more developed and less stigmatized by society. In the Civil War they called it the Soldier's Heart and in WW1 it was Shell Shock. I think it was referred to as Battle Fatigue in WW2.

I feel so bad for Kit since he has served and has been deployed, I can't imagine the thoughts that are constantly running through his head, from bootcamp to encampment to maybe actual engagements in Iraq. Please except my love for you Kit and everyone that is working for him, including you Chicago Reacts

Spent my 24th birthday on patrol in Afghanistan, OEF4. Great movie, great reaction!

Kit and Kira should watch T-34 next.

Im pretty sure the German at the end saw himself in Norman, and knew that killing him wouldn't be worth it.

Ahahahahahaha thank you guys didn't expect to laugh this much during a war movie

Gotta appreciate the Inglourious Basterds reference Lovely reaction ❤

Thumbs up if you came here to see comments about the cannibalizing . ;-)

13:23 I turned 22 years old in Kuwait just days before we crossed the berm into Iraq for the invasion. Crazy its been 20 years. A lifetime ago.

"What was your 22nd birthday like?" well, my 22nd birthday was in 1986, I was serving in the Navy and my ship was overseas. no specific details, just that we were anchored 5 miles off the coast of Oman in the North Arabian Sea (I served on a repair ship that serviced the warships). The Cold War with the U.S.S.R. was still going on, and that's all it was. this was also around the time the movie Top Gun came out with a very young Tom Cruise starring in it, and we all went ham on that movie!

Great reaction!

Boarded a plane leaving Iraq when I was 19 years old and landed Stateside when I was 20. Happy 20th birthday to me.

Spent my 18th birthday, patrolling the east-west German border as a tank crewman.

i also got that book ww2 day by day loved it ..covered both the European and Pacific

24:08 No a potato masher is a nickname for a German grenade, This soldier has a panzerfaust rocket launcher

Inglorious basterds reference. Noice.

Red dress was wondering why war daddy Brad Pitt didn't have his way.

We would do anything for those who served with us.

Other great true type or True story movies are saving Private Ryan, Blackhawk Down, 13 hours, Big Red One ,Hamburger Hill, American sniper, lone survivor,1917 , Dunkirk, thin Red line, hacksaw Ridge, Once we were soldiers. Also type in here about the greatest soldier who ever lived. Type in Roy benevidez the Lazarus soldier. I met him once early nineties when I was stationed at Bragg!

Love your discussion 🔥🔥..love from India ❤️...lovely reaction..

Hi there CR-MTV, thank you for sharing this with us all. This movie was a cut above, as I see it anyway. I wanted to address your debate as to why the German soldier lets Norman alone, as he was hiding underneath the tank. If I'm being honest here, I have no idea as to why that particular Soldier would have done that. However I think the reason for it in this Movie is pretty obvious, to me, and I believe that the purpose of showing this was to instill upon the audience that even within the war-torn Enemy, there still resides some semblance of Humanity within. Even when at War, if we reach deep enough, we will find that our enemy's are not so different than ourselves, but more like the other side of the same Coin. Often, it will simply be a difference in Perspective. I think this is to help us to understand that often our enemies are not so different from ourselves. Anything that we have felt, or even thought, our enemy has probably experienced as well. Whether that be Love, Hate, Anger, Peace, Sympathy or Empathy, it makes no real difference as we are all fundamentally "Made From the Same Cloth." (Who knows, under different circumstances, we might even be Friends?) Again, Thank You for sharing yourselves and your Channel with us all. Please keep on doing what you're doing. Awesome Movie. too. So, until our paths cross again, I hope that you and yours remain Well, reasonably Happy and... Keep Smiling... Cheers...

The last scene is simple as fuck. The german soldier didnt say anything as he 1 looked kinda young so also fairly green and 2 he is a human being. The general population in ANY country wants peace. He saw his distressed face, and had the fucking emphathy to spare his life.

dope love it

You said you didnt lose anybody from your team. Be thankful and fortunate. Not everybody got that lucky. But dont get the man twisted folks! None of his brothers got their ticket punched. But i bet yall still smoked yourselves a decent amount of tallies💪😎

Saludo desde la República Dominicana excelente vídeo

How can you see anything on a display with a room lit that bright with lights

In real life i dont think the tiger would have left its position it was concealed and safe

I hope I to see y'all react to Dunkirk

And that story was loosely based on a true event serg Audie Murphy

So there's your next movie to react to, since the young lady hasn't seen "I.G." and its scalps. The Browning .50-cals were so reliable and powerful, they were incorporated into US fighter planes and on the tanks, as seen here. In answer to her question about a soldier worrying about death on the battlefield, I'd refer her to Captain Ronald C. Speirs' statement to Private Blithe about being brave in battle: "You've got to realize you're ALREADY DEAD."

Aussie's will....everyday of the week

In regards to the German soldier not killing Norman it made me think have you ever watched any Sabaton videos.. all their songs are based off of military battles throughout history... if you haven't then you should really watch the video SABATON- NO BULLETS FLY its based on a very similar situation with a German pilot and American pilot in ww2... the Animated Story video explains it throughout the song and its very great.. Sabaton also have a military history channel, SABATON HISTORY on KZfaq which they go in depth about each of the battles the sing about.....

Horses were pretty common for transporting supplies in WWII, across all nations. Especially when it came to invading the Soviet Union, it's such a vast territory, there was simply not enough vehicles for the logistics. So you took whatever you could, be it horses, captured horses or captured vehicles even if you didn't have spare parts for them. People have been taught that WWI and II were pretty modern, a lot of steel and machinery but all that stuff was still fairly new, and the transition wasn't as complete as it is today. They still used millions of horses back then throughout the various fronts. Very good movie anyway, at least for visual and sound entertainment, the movie itself is based on a pretty misleading premise though. American tanks were far from useless against German ones on the battlefield, and they certainly were far better in anything else ( maintenance, transportation... ). American tankers also had the best survival rate amongst all tankers in WWII. Also gotta remember that not every German tank was a Tiger or a Panther back then, especially on the Western front. Most of them were Panzer III/IV, StuGs, Marders, armored cars and other captured vehicles, and those were pretty much on par with a Sherman, while also being quite outnumbered. Any bigger German tank would have been met with unmatched artillery and air support anyway.

Ahhhhh a tracer round has white phosphorus coated on it…. No wonder the entire world doesn’t consider the American forces a worthy adversary! The Australians are the ones to be feared!

Ok, Germans did not invade Russia on horses haha Horses were all that was left, in the end. That's all. In The Netherlands they came with tanks and plains, and they left on stolen bicycles. Nice reaction, always nice to hear from actual soldiers what they recognise from the movie.

Germany could’ve if they didn’t declare war on the United States because the United States didn’t declare war on Germany until they did they only did on Japan so if hitler didn’t mess up on declaring war on United States he could’ve won and fun fact he like the United States he really loved Disney movies like Snow White and the seven dorves

Maybe a tad too much caffeine..

War is fucked.

Can Kit and Kara react to Outpost 2008 it's about murderous Nazi ghosts

The Waffen SS was an all volunteer force. They had young volunteers, especially by 1944 and 1945, including the Hitler Jugend SS Panzer Division. But because they were the Nazi Party's private army, they were outside the Wehrmacht, and the Wehrmacht controlled the conscription register. To get to be as big as they became, the Waffen SS had to recruit non-German volunteers from the occupied countries. I think the largest non-German national contingent of SS came from Ukraine. That's part of why there's such a plague of neo-Nazis there today, having to be dealt with the hard way by those who identify with the Red Army in WW2. Thank God they never invaded the British Isles, or we'd have that kind of disgusting legacy too. Oswald Mosley would have been our Quisling, and the British Union of Fascist blackshirts would have been put in German uniforms.

Hey guys I think he might have been a marine just saying

Hai friends Give Reaction on the "fury of NTR 30 Trailer." 🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥

As for the German solider at the end, my belief is he is the same kind of person as Norman was at the beginning. Except he possibly got pulled out of high school instead of Army clerical work. End of the war, maybe hasn't had to kill anybody yet, and Germany ain't going to win...why stain you soul.

They almost did but they lost sight and focused so much on killing the Jews that they didn’t pay attention to the fronts

saving private ryan its better

dude best part of the movie was that fight with German tank, you ruined it

you talk a lot. Bla-bla-bla🤦

Way to much talking after seeing 2 seconds of a clip from the movie

I appreciate this channel but this preachy. Stop making this about you, Marine. Knock it off. A movie review vs interview. Choose

Nick at night ahhh memories
