The world/US is terrible rn. I wanted a comfort movie where I get to watch Nazis be killed. So I’m watching Inglorious Bastards now.

What’s your favorite killing Nazis movie?

    Oh man! That attack on the fixed artillery and the battle with the Tiger rank as some of the best WWII movie batles.

      I got so obsessed with Fury that I had to look up what Shia LeBouf says when he fires the cannon. I initially thought he said “and the way” but it turns out he says “on the way” and it’s because historically the cannon moves the tank so much that it could injure the other soldiers. Fucking great movie. Turns out if you’re a white dude in your 40s you get obsessed with WW2 movies.

        So when I was in the Army I was assigned to the First Armored Division in Germany.

        So I spent a lot of time around tankers. “On the way” is a used all the time in tanks.

        TC = Tank Commander (Brad Pitt) GNR = Gunner (John Bernthal) LDR = Loader (Shia Leboef)

        Here is an example:

        • TC “gunner, sabot, tank”
        • GNR "identified”
        • LDR “up”
        • TC “fire”
        • GNR “on the way”
        • TC “target cease fire”

          I’ve worked a lot with the army as a contractor, but never with an armored division. I mainly worked with airborne divisions. Thanks for adding clarity.

          Edit: I still feel like Fury is underrated as far as WW2 movies go.
