RE: movie 'FURY' with Brad Pitt
After waiting awhile to see what others would have to remark about the movie I felt it time to add a few of my own observations. Besides what has already been said which I mostly agree with agree I first must say that I realize that this movie was not meant to be representative of any actual event but the 2 glaring moments that I find hard to accept where:
1) when the tank crew were in the apartment with the two German women a Black American Infantryman came to tell them that they needed to get back and report. I know that Black Americans did serve in a number of different combat units, especially an armored unit and the Tuskegee air wing but as far as I know there were no Black American infantry units and the US Army had not integrated yet.
2) Who would plant ONE mine in a crossroad, especially near where a first aid station was stationed.
Oh well as I said previously I know this was not supposed to be an accurate movie so I guess one must accept the producers discretion.
This has just been my two cents.
