I visited the set and costume dept (actually a very large white marquee tent) near Oxford during filming and saw several Tanker jackets to be worn by Brad Pitt. They were WW2 impressions made as far as I recall… Next to the one he wore for filming that day, there were at least 5 jackets on hangers for Pitt (some with damage and blood) and some were lined with a silk or rayon like material…

 

I believe the main characters wore wwiiimpressions gear, and the extras all kinds of other brands

Capt Wagners captured SS officers winter parka and his helmet.

 

This was a new jacket that was aged to look like this by the very skilled artists who worked on the movie.

 

 

Is that the rank of OberLeutnant?

I wasn't a big fan either. While I really liked the battle scenes, I did not like the story line between the soldiers. I saw it the one time and haven't bothered to see it again.

Too much the way modern people treat each other, especially the degradation towards the women and that absurd & twisted dinner party, real charming. True men and gentlemen and SOLDIERS of the US Army did NOT behave in such a disrespectful and abrasive manner.

I understand what you mean but the same eyes you mention may have seen The Fury several times and can find the same thing on You tube and it's almost what TV is displayed during meal times in the evening, just my opinion !

The pic and clips were put on to show the realism of the film The Fury and the research, nothing else - sorry this was misunderstood..

 

Please remove the post !

God, you're annoying.

What? Really? WOW! What revisionist history have you been reading. Granted it wasn't like when the Soviet's invaded Germany, but things were not as you may think. My friends mom was a school teacher in Frankfort Am Sien at wars end. In her neck of the woods before the end of the war her students were given traing by the SS on how to shoot a rifle and panzerfaust at the invaders. She told the first allied soldier she saw the location of the weapons stash. It was in her parents barn. Later when the French occupied her area they brought her in and demanded she confess to being a Nazi. She was never a party member and refused to say she was. The French nailed her to the school house. An American patrol came up on this and demanded the French stand down. They refused, shots were fired and the Americans pulled the nails out and took her to a field hospital. The treatment of the Germans after the surrender varied and the treatment of German women was worse than you think . Yes the Americans as a whole gave better treatment, but not all Americans did. It's just a fact of war. Keep in mind at the time a womans place was in the home. Women  did notenjoy the rights and prilages they do today. Do not conflate today with yesterday. It was a different world then. Things happened. Yes, SS were shot on sight trying to surrender, That was more common than you think. Yes, German women traded favors for goods and US servicemen took advantage of that. It happened. Yes, US servicemen stole things of value from German civilians. It happened. A lot of things happened and I find it best to not wear rose tinted glasses when looking at the past.

     If you want to see things in bright white light, look at the Pacific war. That was brutal by all standards.

According to the Army(to include USAAF)- 89,000 court martials in ETO/MTO from 1942-45. sure wasnt all for AWOL

Now as far as the movie goes... My Great Uncle Earl was a tank driver in a tank destroyer in Patton's 3rd Army. That scean in the movie Patton, were Patton is directing traffic at the crossroads. Earl said that was true, he saw Patton doing that as he rolled by. Earl sent back all kinds of war trophies including medals, caps, helmets, flags, watches, bayonets, daggers, patches and weapons. When the laws changed in 68 he surrendered his weapons. He told me about one encounter with the Germans, after the fight he used his tank to knock over a flag pole with a very large German flag on it. He pulled the flag in through the escape hatch of his tank. He sent that flag home. My dad told me it was so large it could not be unfolded in the living room. According to my dad for the most part Earl pretty much picked body's clean. He sent home what amounted to three foot lockers full of stuff by the time he got home. I never saw these things, but my Great Uncle Earl told me about them and my dad saw them as aboy after the war.  After he passed away I was supposed to get these things but my Great Aunt Dorthy gave all of it to his VFW.  

     The movie was a composit of actual events compacted into that movie. The last scean is an homage to Audie Murphy. When I saw the turret of Fury and all of the war trophies in it I came away from that movie with a perspective of what the war must have been like for my Great Uncle Earl. I was a kid when he was alive and he always struck me as a guy who loved cigars, loved my Great Aunt Dorthy and enjoyed the company of my Grandparents, my parents and us kids.

Mock up of the Fury turret with removable panels for inside filming shows the German trophies hanging all over the turret side...

I grabbed the wrong quote..... lol

I have to agree with your post #2267

.

If a person watched WW2 era movies and nothing else they might believe American troops were wholesome

and never did anything wrong. Correct me if Im wrong, but the average age of a WW2 soldier was around 25 26 years old.

By the way, in my time in the service in the Army Guard,... well,

lets just say you meet all kinds of people from all walks of life. And if you were brought up

with a good sense of morals and right and wrong, and you find yourself say, in the ARMY,

you will most likely be shocked at the many folks who dont share your thoughts.

Some of the people I met, they way they operated,

was not shocking but eye opening. Especially some of the married guys.

They didnt pass out Prophylactics to everyone in WW2 to cover the barrels on their M1''s you know.

The USA is a melting pot. People of all different moral codes.

The ARMY is a melting pot.

Its what makes this country strong.

And in the armed services you will

meet everyone.

Today, since the all volunteer force came about50 years or so ago,.

everyone you meet, for one reason or another made the choice

and joined.

Not your average American mind you.

Mmmm, yup. I was going through my dads old Airforce kit bag in the garage one day when my dad was organizing things. In his bag I found something that looked like a skeleton key, but the end was round, not flat. I asked him what it was. He told me when he was stationed in Japan in the late 50's, before he met my mom he went to one whore house so much they gave him his own key. The things parents say.

Very cool! Watching the movie, and I have seen it many times, I always dig in on what the driver is saying and doing. I absorb every little bit of it. As a side note for you. My Great Uncle Earl was a brewmaster and worked for the Capone syndicate during prohibition. He was arrested and sent to a Federal prison. When the war broke out he was given the option of serving his time or volunteering for the military. If he completed his term of enlistment and had an honorable discharge they would consider that as time served. I think that part of his life kind of explaines why he gathered up war trophies like he did. In the movie its clear the whole crew save the replacment came from troubled or tough pasts. I assumed that also had something to do with all the war trophies in Fury. The movie never digs into this, but they should have.
