5* Wardaddy, being a SergeantRock, is full of this.
6** To get an impression, our first introduction of him is watching him ''tackle a German officer'' off a horse and stabbing him repeatedly.
7** And in the end, it takes a sniper to put him out of action, and even then it takes three shots.
8*** and he still fights, killing one more German before going out from ''two grenades''.
9* 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).
10** The machine-gun shower the tanks deal to the remaining German defenders is pure bullet fireworks.
11* The battle against the Tiger Tank. The scene is possibly more tense than the climaxing battle.
12** The Tiger and her crew get a villainous one, taking out all but one of the tank platoon before Fury knocks it out.
13** The [[https://youtu.be/AMd7jkBbGZU 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.''"
14** The Fury is badass for defeating the mighty Tiger, especially since it wins a battle between tanks with [[AttackItsWeakPoint actual outsmarting]].
15* Garcia accidentally drops a live grenade back into the Fury. So what does he do? He [[DyingMomentOfAwesome smothers the grenade explosion with his own body and saves the crew inside]].
16* 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.
17* 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.
18** 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 HopelessWar (for scale, when the Allies first began bombing Germany, ''hundreds'' of Luftwaffe planes would normally meet the bombers).
19* 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''.
20-->'''Infantry Sergeant:''' Hey, Angel! This one’s yours! ''(To the SS officer)'' ''[[PreMortemOneLiner Auf wiedersehen,]]'' [[PreMortemOneLiner asshole!]]
