I saw this movie not too long ago and personally I would have told my crew to abandon the tank and run away, rather than stay in those deathtrap Shermans. Easier to replace a cheap tank than a tank crew.
Turtle know when to run and when to fight. Mostly, run.
Turtle know when to hold them, know when to fold 'em, know when to run away...

I saw it also. It does make a good effort to show just how much of a no-contest fight it is for them to go up against tigers. How good... not sure, as I don't know the realities. It appears Shermans were designed to go up against infantry, and tigers were designed to go up against Shermans.
But Brad Pitt had another war movie in which he also hated Nazis with a personal passion, to the point of becoming a war criminal himself. I don't expect he'll be a popular celebrity in Germany any time soon.

I guess they'll just have to pass a law mandating his popularity then.

In the other movie I saw, he clubbed a captured German officer to death (single blow to the head) for not answering questions about German troop locations and such. As depicted, the officer died bravely for his countrymen, and was certainly a war crime on the part of Pitt's character, though I don't think his execution of the officer was intended to be portrayed as any crime.
Don't know the movie title, but his personal hatred of SS soldiers / "Nazis" was, seemingly, as over the top as in Fury. Though I must admit I didn't watch that entire movie as I did Fury. But seeing the same animosity from Pitt in 2 different movies makes me think his hatred is personal in real life.
Perhaps not a wise thing to suggest on a public forum...
I was being facetious, but in all reality it wouldn't be any stupider than laws criminalizing telling the truth about the holohoax.
I've watched two EweToob documetaries about WWII that were excellent. I think the first was called "Adolf Hitler: The Greatest Story Never Told," and the second was called "Hellstorm: The Real Genocide of Nazi Germany". The latter is very grim, but I recommend them both. History is not what we've been taught.
Being of German descent, I'm getting really tired of the constant demonization of Germany.

Amen to that.

If all the hatred was based in fact or reality, I probably wouldn't care one way or another, but all these lies being spread to a populace too stupid to look up from their iDooDads, is setting US up for a fate not unlike Nazi Germany after they managed to get the ewe-noo-hoo banksters & purveyors of vice off their ass and pull themselves out of the Great Depression before everyone else, which was their real crime, IMO.
