That wasnt just StugIII ... surly two of them were "Jagdpanther" ...his armour was soo good on all sides, the Shermans could fire untill 2012 and wouldnt destroy him, on the other side the Jagdpanther takes down Shermans on every Range and on all sides ... All the series like BoB ore Pacif let the Allies look so good and the Axis stupid ....
@BigMekkk i agree with the fact that the producers over dramatized it as everyone does with every film. a Sherman on it own aganist any of the German Tank destroyers would have been blown to smithereens. But as a group if they were lucky, well coordinated timed it right, they could destroy the mighty tiger if all the shots were penertation on the weaker side and rear armour.
@TheUndutchified Why don't you listen to what the veterans who drove those tanks had to say about them. They said they were amazing on the battle field and wouldn't want anything else. The German tanks, maybe they had good armour and a powerful gun, but their engines weren't made to carry the weight of the armour and gun. The German tanks' engines would break down alot. Even German tank veterans have said that they broke down more often than not. And 6 Shermans couldn't beat 3 Stugs? Idiot

hey this is a general question, why in this scene did the germans send tank destroyers and assault guns like the JagdPanther and Stug-III in to this battle? why not something more suited to infantry support roles like the Panzer 4 or the SdKfZ 221 Leichter armoured car? or is just because that's all the producers could get there hands on?
and i mean come on, Sherman v JagdPanther? no chance, JagdPanther gave up to easily in this one.
@SuperSheep957 Nono I wasn't talking about this scene. It's the one when they are ambushed in the village. You can clearly see it in the scene when you see the side of the tank.

"....we attacked with a few Sturmgeschütze IVs, the new ones, and some Fallschrimaeger and Panzergrenadiers. I was commanding the lead StuG IV. We ran over a few trenches of the Yanks and tried to break thorugh, then about 14 Tommy Cookers came through some brush. I reversed and we opened fire, at least 4 of the Shermans met their fate from my 75mm. We retreated, no of my comrades' tanks were lost. "
You see the problem I have with this scene is that the Sherman M4A1s were able to destroy those Stug IIIs and JPs by shooting their frontal armor... This is extremely unlikely, the M4A1 could barely penetrate the Pz. III effectively. Im assuming that in actuality the Shermans flanked the JPs and Stug IIIs on a much broader front and that just couldnt include that in the series because of budget reasons...
@LOLwut499 They could penetrate especially at the unbelievably close range the video shows. At normal combat range there would be a fair change of a deflection but some got through. A Stug wasn't well armoured but has a good rep due to the skillful use they were put to in ambushing tanks. As for the budget reasons, all they had to do was edit out 98% of the boring conversations and all the sappy romance to make room for more realistic combat scenarios.
@YappyRaccoon It might be able to penetrate the Stug III but Im not sure about the Pz. IV, even at those ranges.You have to remember, the barrels the Sherman M4A1s had were low velocity. Also the JP wouldve been perfectly protected against all 75mm Sherman shells at that range, especially with a 55 degree slope on the armor. The JP alone shouldve been able to destroy about 5 or 6 of the Shermans before pulling back, but instead none were destroyed...What romance are you speaking of
Ugh, these american movies are always so anti-german. Why can't we just assume the american 'heroes' win everytime and not watch this propoganda movie? And Spielberg always has a strange ongoing fetish for spending most of the action sequences focussing on the emotional problems of a single coward as if that is the most interesting thing that happened in WW2. Saving Ryan and The Pacific do the same coward theme.
@YappyRaccoon This movie was based off of actual historical events and Spielberg surrounded himeself with not only American historians when directing but also with European historians. There is no bias here kid, its recreating what ACTUALLY happened. And Im assuming you dont like what actually happened so now you dismiss history as propaganda and that is true ignorance. Sorry.
@LOLwut499 You are too stupid to know that any history can be twisted to make some look like heroes and others like villains. You are arrogant and will tell me I'm wrong but I am happy knowing you are just another stupid bigot american meathead so your miserable opinion is worthless.
@YappyRaccoon in every war, both sides have made negative remarks towards eachother. so what? do you think a German movie about Nazis would have its characters view the Americans and Allies in a positive light? no. if they were going for authenticity, they wouldnt. and as for the coward theme, most of these soldiers on both sides were just young kids. many werent ready for real war, ready to kill a man. Speilberg is obviously just showing the reality of it. you would be scared too.
@idkwhat2puthere Overgeneralization on all points. First, can you name a single war movie that fairly represents the German side? No. That's my point right there about bias. Only americans are allowed to be shown as heroes even though they were notorious for shooting prisoners, looting civilians and evicting people from their homes to billet their own and piss all over & rob the homes.
And I've read about soldiers on all sides that were extremely ready to kill when they went into combat.
@YappyRaccoon 'Stalingrad' is a German war movie that sympathizes with the germans. another German movie 'Downfall' shows Hitler's last days. clint eastwood's 'Letters From Iwo Jima' shows the japanese pov. 'The Thin Red Line' didnt even glorify war, instead showing the horrors and loss of innocence on both sides. and almost all Vietnam movies show Americans as both heroes and villains.
war is hell and not fair. never has been. both sides commit their share of atrocities.
@idkwhat2puthere Out of those I only saw Thin Red Line and agree it was unbiased and honest. I avoid anything that focuses on Hitler so I won't watch Downfall even though it sounds well done. I want to see a proper German war movie without all the misery and unhappiness directors focus on. There were a lot of operations with high morale, good results and a cheerful attitude among the troops, especially in the Waffen SS even as late as the final days in Berlin.
@YappyRaccoon high morale, good results and cheerful attitudes...coming from an army whose campaign was total world domination, and have committed numerous, disturbing war crimes against soldiers and civilians. idk if ppl would want to sit through a movie like that, where Nazis are viewed in such positive light. they created misery and unhappiness, not to mention they were also losing the war. so its fitting for a Nazi movie to depict them that way, otherwise we couldnt sympathize them.
@idkwhat2puthere You are parroting the propaganda of the 1940s. You are too narrow-minded and lacking the intelligence to ever look at things from outside the little box your mind has been shoehorned into. If you ever read and learned about the real situation with the Germans you'd see things from a lot less jaded perspective. Like most americans, you'll likely die a brainwashed zombie chanting the same mantra as the rest of the herd and remain bitter. You are too angry to be reasoned with.
@YappyRaccoon LOL umm no, im not angry at all. nor narrow-minded and ignorant. i understand both sides of the Germans' situation. im just stating my opinion on your movie idea. YOU however seem to be the angry one, spouting your anti-American media crap on the internet to random strangers. when YOU make a good war movie that would APPEAL TO THE MASSES, then maybe i'd care. but until then, please stfu with your bigoted, conspiracy rants and just enjoy war movies for what they are: MOVIES.
@idkwhat2puthere You are also too stupid to realize all the hate you spew is a perfect reflection of your own miserable self. LOok in the mirror at your ugly face sagging with age and misery and ask yourself what motivates you to be such an asshole and a bigot.
@YappyRaccoon lol well, what a 'healthy, normal' debate this has turned into. i guess it reflects the creed that you live by: 'if ya cant beat em, make nonsensical insults at them and then go to their youtube channel and spam hate mail on all their videos!'...i guess i shouldve seen this coming when i saw berserker's comment below. you sir, spend way too much time on your computer stalking youtube users. why dont ya try going outside, hangout with friends and have fun, like i do on my videos :-)
@YappyRaccoon woh there stop! if you are ready to kill another man without second thought or regret than you should probably get help now! if you can name on person you know of that took part in world war two and killed, wounded or beat up anyone without second thought or later regret than i will jump off the Empire state building.
The Allies just had air superiority which means everything (by the way these are not tigers thus explaining why the shermans kicked their ass) u must remember these are airborne infantry thats y they won
There is no doubt the germans had better armour shermans were just useless against the tigers but there were just too many same with the T-34 and the crusader tanks and german infantry were considerably better than standard US infantry..continued..
@jolorulz Depends on the crew. Even Jagdtigers were routinely destroyed when they turned and ran without firiing a shot due to the green officers panicking.
@jolorulz Read a book called 'Tigers in the Mud' by Otto Carius. He is a German tank ace using a Tiger tank and writes about his whole career including the culling of the Russians and the disaster in the west when inferior JagdTigers were crewed by scared noobies.
@YappyRaccoon Thanks for the heads up. I actually know of Otto Carius, but I hadn't known that he wrote a book. Perhaps the jagdtiger was in fact inferior, thick armor notwithstanding, considering the fact that it came far too late in the war to make any impact.
@jolorulz Otto really doesn't like the JagdTiger cause it has no turret. It is just too big, sluggish, and the gun optics got knocked off everytime the huge gun brushed a building or tree. It was a sad waste of resources when more Tigers were so badly needed.
That book is hard to put down. The sad disaster in France is made up for by the exciting beatings they put on the Russians in midwar before casualties in tank crews diluted the veterans with green recruits in late war.
@jolorulz You're welcome. I guarantee you'll want to read the book at least a couple of times. The appendix has more details of the fights including statistics on kills.
@rboss0 You're calling him a pussy I assume? For not wanting to fight, he was scared you idiot. You definitely would be in this situation, but then again you don't think so because your a little MW2 monster I bet. And it's spelt Blithe*. Fag...
@berserker276 Not everyone is a stinking coward like you are toughguy beserker276 and you must be really tough if you had to copy your name from 276 other losers who were also too stupid to think of a name.
@YappyRaccoon You need to grow up and stop stalking me. I know you're a coward, too scared to say any of the shit you do on here in reality. It's obvious you're a pathetic troll dude. You're trying to call me stupid because of my name? Bit sad really it's just a name..
The armored fighting vehicles in this scene are as true to life as I have seen in any cinematic work on the period. What the FJ unit was attacking with were called assault guns. These armored vehicles had no turrets and aimed by traversing their treads. They were usually weapons based on tank chassis, and came in many forms. The Germans were famous for improvising various types. For example the one with the heavy machine gun mounted on the top behind the armored shield was one type they used.
This is a tipic american film...This is a propagand..."The USA army is the better."... It is so shit...the only Huntertiger can defeat all of that Shermans when the US tanks is in front of the German tank...
@SMfan199 You are right. This is...this is a good film, i think BUT! US army wasn't better than the German army. Tigers and Panthers were the best tanks :)
@zigjunior4 Ya, but what's the point of being the best when you can build only limited amounts? The US Army was the better army simply because they won. That's why we're all using YouTube and speaking English instead of learning Hitler's so-called 'teachings'.
@richie8811 They weren't better...they were more than the Wehrmacht : - / And there was the communist teams, all of that dogs...I am Hungarian...I know who they were. And an ORTODOX JUDE said: The german army was the better in the 20th century in their teamwork, and in a lot of things. ; - )
@zigjunior4 Yes the Germans had does Tigers but by the time they made about 200 of them the US would make two times as much shermans.And when it all came down between the two the US was just the better side and well along with other allied countries as well.Be careful of your comments especially when thousands of heroes died for this country.
@mw2pro117 Omfg...I don't say anything...America is the brave, hero country!! The protector!!! But the oil...the fucking oil...protectors...hm...lies...September 11...
You are right! The soldiers who died was heroes. But...there was and there is other people ;-)
Anyone who has seen the whole episode, please help. Where are they at the end? The one guy says they're going back to France, not to England, but where were they when he told them that? This is the scene where that one guy goes to pick up laundry.
@HeardGraceshot When Malarkey, the guy at the end of this episode, goes to pick up the laundry, he's in England. Can't you tell that woman is British?
@berserker276 Right I figured, but one minute they're in France, the next in England. Then the guy says they're going to back to France, but was that called off? In one of the episodes afterwards a guy says that "this won't be called off this time" referring to the company's new plan to land in Holland, so was the plan to go back to France called off?
@HeardGraceshot When he, Nixon I assume you mean, says the plan won't be called off, he's refering to "Operation Market Garden", landing in Holland. Wow you've confused me, lol.
to everyone that says shermans are no match for stugs panzers and jagdpanthers thats true but just take into effect that some german armor was already destroyed or damaged by the time the shermans showed up, and when 5 shermans with M2HB brownings,3 companies with mortars bazookas and 2 machine gun teams against some 100 germans the germans are screwed and this really happended
@legopercyjacksonfan1 he wasnt a german sniper he was just a regular fallsmjager paraptrooper and albert blithe the guy who shot him was scared and stunned because he acualty killed someone and he was scared as mentioned in the video also
@bobojr456 That's not true, the infantry had M1 Bazooka's, and that many shermans against 1 tank, no matter how big or strong, enough hits would take it down and in the time the panzer hit 1 sherman, 5 shermans woulda hit him. I'm pretty sure 5+ 75mm cannons would scratch it.
@metalmulisha1177 i saw 3 shermans...sorry but no. germans also had Stug III's for support. bazookas vs jagdpanther....ha dont make me laugh. average kill ratio for most german tanks is well over 3:1 as well.
"....we attacked with a few Sturmgeschütze IVs, the new ones, and some Fallschrimaeger and Panzergrenadiers. I was commanding the lead StuG IV. We ran over a few trenches of the Yanks and tried to break thorugh, then about 14 Tommy Cookers came through some brush. I reversed and we opened fire, at least 4 of the Shermans met their fate from my 75mm. We retreated, no of my comrades' tanks were lost. " - My Grandfather commenting on his role in Carentan after watching this.

@TheJosh4565 Uhm, they were 3 companies defendig that line. Dog, Fox and Easy, they had mortar teams, machineguns, bazookas and A LOT of infantry defending. Then the Shermans showed up. So yes, they had a pretty good chance. Youll say that the tanks would have run them over? well, dog and fox pulled back.
Besides, no point in saying that didnt happend. Cause it did. If not, the series wouldnt have shown so :)
@xXInYouFaceXx Just because a series,movies,show, or any other program says it happened doesnt make it so, there are many other stories and accounts. Both sides had victories and losses. This episode does not depict in reality the way German counter offensive measures accurately.
@Dogmeat1950 It clearly shows you cant comprehend a simple response. Its ok though I can expect this to come from a simple minded person with no thought of their own whatsoever. Im not going to try and change your mind but Ill be here to make sure no body else thinks in such a naive and simplle way like you do.
@xXInYouFaceXx yeah but the series did a lot of things different than the real stuff. For example in the series the 506th and the 502nd take carentan after around 10-15 minutes of fighting then the germans run for the lives back then they needed almost a week(from the beginning to bloody gulch) to capture it from the them carentan is ,together with monte cassino, best known for the stubbornness and bravery of the germans
@xXInYouFaceXx actually if you read any history books theres a lot that the series made up and a lot of things not mentionned in the series . For example easy compagny broke a record for longest march with full equipment. The series never mentions many of the defeats that easy suffered.
@TheJosh4565 Yah this isn't fake this is what really happened the people portraded here are real people. Dont believe search Richard D. Winters or any other soldier here i found em with medals and rank
@TheJosh4565 at that point point the german werent as wild to fight as before.. the Americans had hell of alot more tanks that could be replaced, and the troops where pooring in from normandy,, The germans knew that...
@TheJosh4565 And those are not standard tanks. They are tanks hunters. Pretty good to take down shermans, but weak against too much infantry. You can be sure you wouldn't do anything with a bazooka or mortars against a Tiger or some similar Panzer, but you may be able to destroy one of them (as seen in the scene)
@TheJosh4565 The Germans might of regrouped, as the alliies were pushing on all sides of the Germans..Also air power were killing the tanks.Which was not truly shown..
@Sergejovic98 To be totally correct. That tank is a StuG 3 G. Also converted to Sturm Infanteriegeshütz. It was a highly feared tank,due to its low siluett,and pretty powerful canon. None rotatable turret made it also dangerous for the german tankcrews. Thats why it mostly operated together with expirenced infantry and other tanks during ww2..
I'm not quite sure why the Germans sent tank destroyers rather than actual tanks to fight in the battle here, but who cares, it's a great scene! Band of Brothers was the best thing on HBO!
The Germans were great soldiers it a pity they had hitler

idkwhat2puthere 5 months ago
@idkwhat2puthere Overgeneralization on all points. First, can you name a single war movie that fairly represents the German side? No. That's my point right there about bias. Only americans are allowed to be shown as heroes even though they were notorious for shooting prisoners, looting civilians and evicting people from their homes to billet their own and piss all over & rob the homes.
And I've read about soldiers on all sides that were extremely ready to kill when they went into combat.

@YappyRaccoon 'Stalingrad' is a German war movie that sympathizes with the germans. another German movie 'Downfall' shows Hitler's last days. clint eastwood's 'Letters From Iwo Jima' shows the japanese pov. 'The Thin Red Line' didnt even glorify war, instead showing the horrors and loss of innocence on both sides. and almost all Vietnam movies show Americans as both heroes and villains.
war is hell and not fair. never has been. both sides commit their share of atrocities.
idkwhat2puthere 5 months ago
@idkwhat2puthere Out of those I only saw Thin Red Line and agree it was unbiased and honest. I avoid anything that focuses on Hitler so I won't watch Downfall even though it sounds well done. I want to see a proper German war movie without all the misery and unhappiness directors focus on. There were a lot of operations with high morale, good results and a cheerful attitude among the troops, especially in the Waffen SS even as late as the final days in Berlin.
YappyRaccoon 5 months ago
@YappyRaccoon high morale, good results and cheerful attitudes...coming from an army whose campaign was total world domination, and have committed numerous, disturbing war crimes against soldiers and civilians. idk if ppl would want to sit through a movie like that, where Nazis are viewed in such positive light. they created misery and unhappiness, not to mention they were also losing the war. so its fitting for a Nazi movie to depict them that way, otherwise we couldnt sympathize them.
idkwhat2puthere 5 months ago
@idkwhat2puthere You are parroting the propaganda of the 1940s. You are too narrow-minded and lacking the intelligence to ever look at things from outside the little box your mind has been shoehorned into. If you ever read and learned about the real situation with the Germans you'd see things from a lot less jaded perspective. Like most americans, you'll likely die a brainwashed zombie chanting the same mantra as the rest of the herd and remain bitter. You are too angry to be reasoned with.
YappyRaccoon 5 months ago
@YappyRaccoon LOL umm no, im not angry at all. nor narrow-minded and ignorant. i understand both sides of the Germans' situation. im just stating my opinion on your movie idea. YOU however seem to be the angry one, spouting your anti-American media crap on the internet to random strangers. when YOU make a good war movie that would APPEAL TO THE MASSES, then maybe i'd care. but until then, please stfu with your bigoted, conspiracy rants and just enjoy war movies for what they are: MOVIES.

@jolorulz Read a book called 'Tigers in the Mud' by Otto Carius. He is a German tank ace using a Tiger tank and writes about his whole career including the culling of the Russians and the disaster in the west when inferior JagdTigers were crewed by scared noobies.
YappyRaccoon 5 months ago
@YappyRaccoon Thanks for the heads up. I actually know of Otto Carius, but I hadn't known that he wrote a book. Perhaps the jagdtiger was in fact inferior, thick armor notwithstanding, considering the fact that it came far too late in the war to make any impact.
jolorulz 5 months ago
@jolorulz Otto really doesn't like the JagdTiger cause it has no turret. It is just too big, sluggish, and the gun optics got knocked off everytime the huge gun brushed a building or tree. It was a sad waste of resources when more Tigers were so badly needed.
That book is hard to put down. The sad disaster in France is made up for by the exciting beatings they put on the Russians in midwar before casualties in tank crews diluted the veterans with green recruits in late war.

The armored fighting vehicles in this scene are as true to life as I have seen in any cinematic work on the period. What the FJ unit was attacking with were called assault guns. These armored vehicles had no turrets and aimed by traversing their treads. They were usually weapons based on tank chassis, and came in many forms. The Germans were famous for improvising various types. For example the one with the heavy machine gun mounted on the top behind the armored shield was one type they used.

@Sergejovic98 To be totally correct. That tank is a StuG 3 G. Also converted to Sturm Infanteriegeshütz. It was a highly feared tank,due to its low siluett,and pretty powerful canon. None rotatable turret made it also dangerous for the german tankcrews. Thats why it mostly operated together with expirenced infantry and other tanks during ww2..
