Hollywood sucks... bunch of out-of-touch liberal elites.” With the exception of Captain Dale Dye whose ‘Warriors, Inc’ consultancy has at least helped give Saving Private Ryan, The Pacific, Band of Brothers and Platoon a look of authenticity.

Brad Pitt and his tank crew in Fury did pretty well without former Captain Dye's assistance. Though it didn't hurt that they had actual WWII tank crewmen and mech infantrymen as on-setr advisers. Likewise the veryknowledgable staff of the British Bovington Tank Museum from which many of the tanks, including several of the Shermans and the too-early Tiger I were sourced were not about to brook stupid mistakes. Director David Ayer was quite picky about the authenticity details.

90 yr old set advisers? I suppose so, I know some WWII vets and they recall those days far better than recent events. Didn’t see Fury so wasn’t aware that it was any good.
