Thanks to Mario R. for this picture.
Hello everyone,
the following picture actually shows the Sherman called “Fury” – not the movie one however, the real one. It’s from an older French publication (didn’t get the name, sorry) and it shows the M4 Sherman tank “Fury”, participating in the operation Cobra (the offensive in Normandy, following the D-Day landings) as a part of the 3rd Armored Division. Note the additional armored plates welded to the side hull and turret, protecting the tank weakspots and crewmembers.
Very different from everybody’s expectations, I’m sure.
Hollywood overdoes everything anyway.
Where are wood logs? Did they even watch the movie? Omg, what a bad reproduction…
And that guy looks nothing like Brad Pitt. Wow the French really screwed that up ;-)
where is sugar. eh war daddy on this picture ?
Just a little bit of editing and there you go

Notice the gun
FYI…..those are called “Applique” armour, positioned to help protect the AMMUNITION bins.
They stopped using/fitting them when the ammo storage was upgraded to WET storage bins.
FYI,most of us reading this knows it aaaaand *grammar nazi mode on* its spelt Appliqué because French*grammar nazi mode off*
I bet it didn`t shoot those star wars bullets like in the movie.
Oh, you mean tracers that were actually used in WW2 (and pretty much every armed conflict ever since they were invented)?
I never knew they shot light sabers during world war 2
Wardady: No you killed my father
Hitler: No I am you father
Wardady: Noooooooooooo
There was also apparently a Canadian Grizzly tank named Fury, but of course being a Grizzly that meant in only served as a trainer.
