Weak in every aspect.

Rating: 3/10 (26 October 2015)

As a WWII buff for over 30 Years I add some Historical and Technical discrepancies i saw: Tank scene with the Tiger: 1, I highly doubt, the Sherman crews could realize from where the shots came from, for sure not in the short time showed. These bullets had no tracers and travel faster as sound.
2, The Tiger was one of the few Tanks who could pivot on place. It would be near impossible for the Fury tank to flank it like it did in the Movie. But it did not need it anyway, because the 76mm gun could easily penetrate the Tigers side armor from far away, no need to get at his back.
Also, shooting while driving was not a common tactic. Move, stop, firing.
Attacking the Forrest: 1, Pitt said he heard an 88 because of the sound, but they were Pak 40 instead. Flak 88 were really rare on the battlefield, because they belonged to Air or home defend units and many times you had to ask Hitler himself to free some up for the Wehrmacht. Also, the Germans would never drag a big 88 deep into a Forrest.
2, At these ranges, the Pak (Anti-Tank gun) could'n miss. Also the Film try to suggest the tank crews were able to reload faster as the Pak, but it should be the other way. A Pak crew has far more freedom of movement for reloading and a far better all around situational awareness.
3, Deep in the Forrest dug in and camouflaged you can't see a Pak, maybe the muzzle flashes, but you have to estimate the range. The proper tactic would have been, the tanks sitting far outside and giving support fire and Inf taking out the Pak's, if no Arty and Air was available.
4, I don't know the rules for the US Army, but it was forbidden for Wehrmacht Soldiers to move behind tanks, it's a big bullet magnet. Also, the Germans would add into her defense line some crossfire like positions with overlapping fields of fire. Most likely, after the first ambush, they would have switched positions anyway, because of the deadly US Arty that would have followed.
Last stand: 1, This wasn't a Battalion, more likely a single company(120-250 Men at War times) 2, A German unit would not approach such an area in march formation.
3, To take down a tracked tank you don't need explosives. A bit grease and a crow bar would do it. Blind it and bend the MG barrels. Stuff things into gun barrel.
4, Why would anybody climb on a enemy tank from the front? 5, Like others mentioned here, no one would ever shoot with small arms at a tank, when friendlies are around. Those ricocheting rounds would kill more of your own men as the tank could ever inflict.
6, Soldiers don't take comrades as cover, never! Everyone in the Army knows that a full rifle round can go through 5 guys standing in a line.
7, "We peel of your skin" Hello? Who would ever say this? Some swearing I would expect, but this sounds like the creator of this Movie tried to make them look like some NS-Mengele-Konzentration Camp defenders, to make them really bad looking.
Overview: This Film is so full of flaws, it's not even funny. The Myth and stereotyping about elite SS-Units is really annoying. There were only a half dozen real elite Waffen-SS units. The ones who fought in the western Theater were mainly Hitler Youth like the 12. SS Div. or consisted from foreign Volunteers. Most of the Waffen-SS weren't Germans at all. This doesn't mean they were bad, it's only a fact. The real elite units of the 3. Reich were Paratroops, Mountain units, Pioneers and the usual professional soldiers of the Wehrmacht. In the Polish campaign they had to withdraw SS-Units because of overconfidence and heroic actions who lead to high casualty's among them.
For a pure Tank film, you see so little about what makes out tank combat. And there are no informational scenes who shows the audience, without Army background, what really happens, especially on both sides. Best example is the last scene were the German officer rallies his troops only to tell them "Take them, because it's our Country". WTF? Even 6. graders would make a plan! Hollywood should stop showing German Soldiers who run around like headless chickens. And always showing crying Soldiers as if dieing would come so unexpected. Your Adrenalin level would skyrocketed after a battle, you then don't cry like a baby.
The dialogs are horrible, sounds like some red neck created that Movie. You really get the feeling, this crew is the dumbest the US-Army could muster. When you see post war interviews with Tank aces how polite and even funny they can be, you wont believe a thing in that movie.
