Fury makes americans believe they were fighting like the Russians.

Hello, I am a student of history and while watching this movie I kept thinking how laughably inaccurate it was, not just over nit-picking details, but just the entire movie in its own.

Americans often like to protray themselves as being in an equal fight with the germans, this only came close once or twice since D-day, that being the Ardenne offensive, which was halted because lack of resources, and the other was market garden which was doomed to fail at the slightest sudden determent opposition.

The fact is that the allies were superior in pretty much every arselan, equiptment and logistical way. American tanks were inferior to german designs in terms of battle preformance yes, but superior in many other ways, especially in terms of production and versatility. Allied tanks rarely engaged known german tanks as seen in this movie. They were quickly identified and taken out by the superior allied air force. Most german tanks could not even make it into formation before allied aircrafts would spot them and destroy them.
Whenever a tank column would move out, they would constnatly be under air cover, and rarely have to worry about the pretty much non existent luftwaffe.

Also, the american soliders are shown committing several war crimes such as killing POW and abusing civilians, a lot of this takes place in full view of everyone else.
This RARELY happened unless it might have been in the midst of an ongoing battle. If an american soldier did execute a german POW in the way Brad Pitts character did, he would have met severe prosecution (he had plenty of witnesses). These kind of things rarely happened, especially not during the end of the war where the allied commanders were very strict about the ROE to the german soldiers and civilians, something the soldiers obeyed.

Also, this movie portays the american soldiers as if they had been in constant non stop fighting since the landing in France. They are unwashed, tired, stressed, suffering from combat stress disorder and other mental conditions. At least Band of Brothers did a good job in protraying how the american soldiers actually looked like and the condition of the soliders in the last few episodes.

Also German soldiers were surrending at given opportunity and did certainly not kill their own civilians, while on the eastern front is was kill or be killed.

This movie would have been somewhat believeable if it was from a Russian perspective, but from an American? A lot of the scenes and dialogues were facepalm moments. Stop thinking you were fighting like the Russians.

Those who defend this movie of being "gritty realism", go watch a documentary...

Sorry for my bad english, english is not my first language.
