Well, you heard all of the critics and nit-pickers, but I enjoyed this very much. The look on that boys face at the very end when he pulled the pin was a nice bit of acting! Bravo.

These vignettes I think capture the human element of war. And any body who has ever served can understand the raw emotions in battlefield decisions protecting your buddies or carrying out your orders to the detriment of your men tough choices.

It was a pretty decent short! But tactical study is a must. When walking in a formation like thru the Forest on the dirt path. the weapons should be pointed outward. Always have 5 meters between bodies and always step lightly, never shuffle feet. Stick to the treeline and not out in the plain open.

The Thompson bolt remains to the rear at end of firing unless you shoot till empty a drum mag. Then will it close. Stick mag=open after last shot, mag empty or not. This being an M1 Thompson, it's stick mags only.

Excellent work all around! Congratulations.

14:20 when the girlfriend insists on being cast

Overall enjoyable. Just a few minor quips. Why wasn’t the BAR firing full auto. The model issued in WW2 had fast auto fire and slow auto fire. In the field soldiers did away with the bipod to shave weight and because it was at odds with the weapon’s purpose of walking fire. The approach to the objective was a little amateurish. But cinematography was excellent. Acting was great especially assuming these folks aren’t pros. Uniforms were outstanding too. It passed so quick it didn’t seem like 20 minutes. A solid 4/5.

good job :) Greetings from Germany

The low stone wall where Johnson ended up, I think they should have deployed behind it for cover not in front of it out in the open. The Hollywood 'stay with me, stay awake, don't you dare die' trope was not the way people spoke back during the ww2 era, perhaps watch some movies made around that time to get a better feel. One of the most memorable casualty lines was from a war film was 'Too Late the Hero' when one of a British patrol trod on a mine and was blown to pieces, actor Michael Cain commented with perfect sardonic delivery "I suppose you could say... that private Smith has us surrounded". Good effort.

Could of been a lady who owns the guns XD in a alternate reality where sarah palin was our president

The main problem I have with this video is the visibility of the enemy. In all cases, soldiers will present a small or invisible target. If you are visible to the enemy, you will be shot. Always use cover and the lay of the land to obscure your movements and positions. Once you have fired your weapon a few rounds, move to a new position, if only by a few feet. Create uncertainty for the enemy. Stealth is a soldier's friend. In this video, soldiers present themselves as highly visible targets. In reality, both sides played an intense game of hide-and-seek-and-destroy. A structure is bait. A house or a barn is merely a lure to draw attention and fire. An MG position may also be bait. Any time a weapon is fired, a position is revealed. Firing it may serve to draw attention. If you don't think that the enemy hasn't anticipated your every move, you aren't thinking. If you aren't thinking, you're dying.

Absolutely awesome great short film

Just some tips: 1. Study real tactics. A lone MG in the middle of nowhere is not believable. Standing up on a ridge above a destroyed MG nest and waving without checking the surroundings is suicide. Talking can be done without standing up, in cover. Approaching a reported enemy position unsupported through open ground on the side with almost certain MGs and snipers is what would have gotten Johnson (and everyone) killed, not his standing up and getting even more exposed. All these scenes can take place in a bush while still allowing a nice camera shot through the bush. 2. Fresh recruits are fresh recruits but they have recieved basic training, which is more than the people representing them have - no need for additional greenness. Always look like you know what you're doing. Practice often and in the period-correct way. 3. If the M1 feels too heavy for your left arm, it's because it is. That's what the strap is for. And physical fitness.

1:56 it would have made more sense to have that old fella be the squad lead, since, ya know, He looks like He may have served in the 1st world war...

this is an amazing film it's really quite something.

I love how the characters are real life Medal of Honor recipients in World War ll

0:42 Mp40 has never this recoil... Man it's not a Thompson

“He’s risking our lives.” You signed the contract🤷🏻‍♂️

That BAR is a beast!

Damn I never knew that the dry cleaning service delivered freshly pressed brand spanking new uniforms front line soldiers who been fighting for a number of days already. Yeah action sequences were not well choreographed and the discussions felt like the troops were talking to one another but practising their lines for a play and it’s much more improvement

Damn good ! Even Fury wasn't perfect !
