Fury was actually based on a real life ww2 tank commander who was referred to as War daddy just as he was during the movie. One of the main differences is that his tank was named "In the Mood", not fury. He also survived the war, unlike in the movie.

Its current name, meaning "Friar Benedict", is derived from a reclusive priest. Historically, Fray Bentos' main industry has been meat processing.

You should see the German one, called the A7V. It was a tall, slab-sided box with a crew of 18 minimum, sometimes as many as 25. It didn't have the rhombus shape of British tanks and so it had difficulty with the terrain. What's worse is that it was top-heavy and tended to fall on its side on fairly shallow gradients. It was pretty useless and they made less than thirty of them.

So the Mark IV got very smokey and hot inside because of the engine, well known fact. But why would the engine be on when they are already stuck for days? Unless they had a different reason for it to be on but I don't know
Probably didn't think about it during the situation cuz again getting shot at is more important to worry about than an engine plus they probably kept attempting to get it out
As far as i know they hoped to use the unditching beam to get them out once German attention shifted away from them, so they needed to keep the tank ready to move at short notice, but since the Germans never stopped shooting at them, it became a moot point in the end.

@@ExploringNS 🤣 you're having a laugh. The tank in this video was a WW1 British MkII. The tank in Fury was a WW2 American Sherman. Aside from the word "tank" they couldn't be more different.

I just realised all the "tank" bosses in videogames must have gotten their inspiration from stories from WW1. After the invention of the panzerfaust tanks became 'soft' but seeing a tank during WW1 must have felt like a final boss.
At 7:18 you say the tank wasn't captured, yet at 8:00 you say it was captured and presented to the German Emperor. So what is it, was it captured or not?
No they walked outside the tank to test the ground to make sure it wouldn’t get stuck. Photos of tanks usually showed a chap walking with it, with a handy cane used to probe the ground for strength, and shrapnel coming in the tank wasn’t called “sprays”, it was called “splash”
fray bentos (ben-toss, not toes) is not an affectionate nickname, it's a canned meat pie company, these great war tanks were known as 'tommy cookers', the nomme de guerre is an allusion to this.

History of Fray
The name “Fray Bentos” entails a certain kind of uncertainty; nevertheless, it is generally agreed that it might derive from the surname of a Friar Bentos.

Historical versions lead us to justify the subsequent self-reclusion of the religious man in a grotto found in the area of Caracoles Creek, to the South of the site where the City of Fray Bentos stands today.
I remember seeing the city in an atlas when I was a child, and wondering why they named their town after a British pie in a tin.
I never realized this, but certain early tanks were essentially death traps.
You should see the German one, called the A7V. It was a tall, slab-sided box with a crew of 18 minimum, sometimes as many as 25.
