Behold, a real Tiger. note 

  • Wardaddy, being a Sergeant Rock, is full of this.
    • To get an impression, our first introduction of him is watching him tackle a German officer off a horse and stabbing him repeatedly.
    • And in the end, it takes a sniper to put him out of action, and even then it takes three shots.
      • and he still fights, killing one more German before going out from two grenades.
  • The mission where First platoon goes and rescues a platoon of pinned down American soldiers from German machine-guns. Even though they were told that there are anti-tank guns present that have already annihilated previous vehicles, they still do it and end with no casualties (tank-wise).
    • The machine-gun shower the tanks deal to the remaining German defenders is pure bullet fireworks.
  • The battle against the Tiger Tank. The scene is possibly more tense than the climaxing battle.
    • The Tiger and her crew get a villainous one, taking out all but one of the tank platoon before Fury knocks it out.
    • The soundtrack for this battle clinches it. The choir is chanting the German translation of Luke 21:22 of the bible - "Denn das sind die Tage der Rache, daß erfüllet werde alles, was geschrieben ist." , which in English is "For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled."
    • The Fury is badass for defeating the mighty Tiger, especially since it wins a battle between tanks with actual outsmarting.
  • Garcia accidentally drops a live grenade back into the Fury. So what does he do? He smothers the grenade explosion with his own body and saves the crew inside.
  • Five men and one tank that can't even move against three hundred crack troops. They successfully pin the Waffen SS troops down for half a day, and inflict enough casualties that the survivors are unable to significantly threaten the Allied supply lines.
  • A rather understated one, but when the tank column is on its way to take a town, Fury's crew look up and see hundreds of bombers flying overhead. It's a stirring sight, even if they do nothing but keep flying east.
    • Then we see some other planes coming from the other side, presumably the German Luftwaffe, and there was a measly...five. In case you still didn't get the point that the Germans are facing a Hopeless War (for scale, when the Allies first began bombing Germany, hundreds of Luftwaffe planes would normally meet the bombers).
  • The scene where they find the SS Officer who was using child soldiers and hanging ones who refused, and the Americans gun him down, like an animal.
    Infantry Sergeant: Hey, Angel! This one’s yours! (To the SS officer) Auf wiedersehen, asshole!
