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 not know when to speak in third person, however.
Quiet, you, or you'll be facing the fury of my pug.
"Have Brain, Will Travel
Turtle know when to hold them, know when to fold 'em, know when to run away...
John Howard says: There are 4 schools of economics: Democrats don't mind war as long as they can have big government. Republicans don't mind big government as long as they can have war. Yup. "Have Brain, Will Travel
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. Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. He did a bad thing with that pistol and a reluctant American soldier. "Have Brain, Will Travel
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.... Good to hear from you. I hope you are doing well!
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. Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. Amen to that. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
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. Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner.
Sieg Heil!

You might be revitalized somewhat by the book topics noted in the 1st 3 postings at 4um Title: 1998 Book Review of "Desperate Deception: British Covert Operations in the United States, 1939-44" ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col.

Turtle know when to run and when to fight.
