      The white horse was a symbol. Don lets it go after removing a German soldier from hit, takes off his saddle & lets it go. At the end, the SAME white horse trots by the tank & wakes up Norman on the ground.

    After Norman was told "You're a hero" he looks out the window and I am sure he is thinking, "No, the real heroes are in that tank."

    I wasn't in a tank crew, but I was Airborne infantry during OIF and OEF. War is war. You deal with it how you can. The banter is the same, despite 80 years of history. As one who has seen it and survived, this is maybe the most realistic war movie out there.

    My grandfather was a Sherman tank cimmander in the Paxcific who fought on Iwo Jima. From the time I was a child, I would listen to his stories with rapt attention, and as I got alder, he started revealing more serious details about his tme in the war. He lost four Shermans and many crew members. When War Daddy tells Norman not to get too close to anybody, it definitely put me in mund of Grandpa's story. When he wold talk about his days in training, the other crew members had names, and he talked about themin a personal fashion. Once they began dieing in battle and got replaced, he only spoke of his crewmen only by their job. Smith, Jones, Brown and Green became 'Driver, Ci-driver, Gunner and Loader.' he no longer referred to his crew members by namr.

    SPOILER ALERT
    Fury gave me insight into my dad"s mind because he was a WWII vet who served in China-Burma-India and would say very little about his service. (except: "you never forget the smell of burning flesh" because he searched for downed pilots in the jungle). I was born 5 years after WWII ended in 1945.
    this movie made me realize, like no other movie has, that these vets were the guys who were my town's teachers, doctors, policemen, truck drivers, carpenters, Littke League coaches, parents next door, etc etc.
    Norman the newbie gunner in Fury was 20 years old and Don Collier AKA War Daddy was 49 (born in 1896). the backstory is that Don also served in WWI and was carrying his WWI sidearm in WWII. (he inserted a photo of a woman underneath the plexiglass grips).
    when he was barely out of his teens, Don was driving drunk one night and killed his younger brother and his girlfriend when he crashed his truck. the burn scars on Don's back (visible in the scene when he was washing up/shaving) resulted from that fiery crash. the judge gave him a choice of joining the army or going to prison so he enlisted after his burns healed, just in time to see combat during the short US involvement in WWI (16 months).
    the name of the younger brother he killed? - - > Norman < - - . if you ever watch the movie again, notice the expression on Don's face when his FNG tells him what his name is :-(
    I found this backstory in articles and interviews about things in the script that were not included in the final cut.
    this is hands down my favorite WWII movie and for westerns it's gotta be Open Range (Costner, Duvall, and Bening), another classic.

    I know I'm a year late to this party, and I know you're a veteran of the military. I served in the Navy in the mid 1980's during the remaining years of the cold war against the Soviet Union. I grew up watching Clint Eastwood's Kelley's Heros (1969) with an all-star cast. It was a fantasy about the war in Europe, and It was the movie that made me fall in love with the M4 Sherman tank, and specifically with the M4 A3E8 variant (as depicted in this movie). any war movies that show a Sherman, I'm all in it, and then this movie was made... wow. another all-star cast with today's actors that doesn't pull any punches about what war is really like.

    They're basic armored crewman fire commands. For example: TC:"Gunner, heat, PC!"; Loader: "UP!"; Gunner: "Identified"; TC: "Fire"; Gunner: "ON THE WAY!"; If he hit it- TC: "TARGET, TARGET! CEASE FIRE"; If he missed it- TC:"Re-engage!"

    On a side note. Technically, they wouldn't get in trouble for executing that one german early in the movie. He was a German soldier wearing an American uniform, which is against the Geneva conventions. So by the rules, any that do that are to be executed as a spy. I could be off on some of that but I'm pretty sure that's how it goes. So Top(Brad Pitt) took advantage of that situation to make Norman get used to killing the enemy.

    20:50 There was a similar sense in a very good war movie called "Cross of Iron".Starring James Coburn, it is based on German retreat on the Soviet Eastern Front.it was regarded as one of the first anti war movie to display "war in RAW sense". I believe it was the first film to have "blood" splashed on the camera lens.

    There are no atheists on the battlefield where life and death is at stake.

God bless all the courageous veterans with nerves of steel who risked everything and selflessly sacrificed so much to protect our countries and preserve the freedoms we enjoy today! God bless all the souls - military and civilian - that we have lost in times of war! God bless America! God bless us all and grant us peace!

    I saw a documentary about the German tanks. They were well engineered. But, if I remember correctly, it took seven weeks to build a Tiger. It's life expectancy on the battlefield was about a week. That's a losing battle.

      TD It was often said that the Tiger Tank was "over Engineered". Parts were hard to obtain and there were numerous stories that Tiger Tank crews abandoned their broken down tank since it's very hard to carry out " on field" repairs.

    Hey Yeedeed, I loved your reaction. I'm former military too so I know what you're talking about. As far as war movies I'm sure you've seen Saving Private Ryan, but 12 Strong is a great movie. There is a 7 part mini-series out of Australia called Galippoli and it's amazing. Another movie, not really a war movie is Jojo Rabbit. It's about a 10 year old kid in Nazi Germany at the end of WWII. Jojo is in the Hitler Youth and has an imaginary friend-Adolf Hitler. It's a comedy but it's great, one of my favorite movies of all time. Jojo discovers his mother his hiding a Jewish girl in the house and as his relationship with her grows, his relationship with his imaginary friend starts to fall apart. I'll definitely follow you if you're going to do war movies. Keep up the good reactions.

    Great reaction to Fury, Mike. I feel like I'm watching a movie with a friend who's wiser than I am.
    Suggestion that's easy to overlook: Catch-22 (1970). It's an absurdist comedy, but it has sharp teeth. Book's by a WWII vet, screenplay by a Korean war vet. It's very silly and very dark at the same time. No sarcasm: you'll laugh, you'll cry. Arguably the first war movie *about* PTSD back when it was called shell shock.
    *AND* a cast that'll drop your jaw + special fx that are literally unbelievable...no CGI, of course. They're flying those planes. They're _crashing_ those planes. They're actually blowing up that base. There's *nothing* else like it.

    I believe that the worst of humanity is not in the bad, it is in the gray. Because it is easy to see the bad in bad people but it is difficult to see good people doing inhuman things, things that they believe to be fair and each side believes that they are doing the right thing for their people. War is the most primitive form of diplomacy.

    By this point the Germans had an even more badass tank still in the works and wasn't ready yet, it's name was the "Centurion Tank" equipped with 152'mm super thick armor the Tiger was only 100'mm and very likely would of mowed down US tanks of that era, hell even USA's Modern tanks would still need to watch their backs a little more as this f*cker was a BEAST and would put the tiger to shame 100%, but thankfully it never got to see the war as it had ended just one month before the Centurion had the change to completely aberrate our US forces or any armors who were fighting in WW2 for that matter.

    Just to add a dash of yesteryear to your viewing list, might you consider watching these older war movies? "The Best Years of Our Lives," "Mr. Roberts," "Apocalypse Now," "Seven Samurai," "The Bridge on the River Kwai," "Stalag 17," "The Great Escape," "Paths of Glory," "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" (relatively new), and "Zulu." Most likely I don't need to mention "Band of Brothers," "The Pacific," and "Saving Private Ryan."

    Second, a Waffen SS infantry battalion against an immobilized tank would have been quick and decisive, a couple panzer Faust snuck around their flanks and lights out.
