![]() ![]() On the way to the crossroads, they are ambushed by a heavily-armed German Tiger I, which quickly destroys one of the tanks. The platoon of four tanks, led by Wardaddy, gets a mission to hold a vital crossroads, protecting a clear way to supply trains and a camp filled with allied doctors, nurses and rear-echelon supplies troops (the map shows Emmerthal south of Hameln, where the railway from the Ruhr district to Hanover crosses the Weser river). He confesses to Wardaddy that he has begun to enjoy killing Nazi soldiers. This, coupled with observing the retreating Germans soldiers burning their own towns and the cruelty they show to other Germans who do not fight for the Wehrmacht, hardens Norman. Shortly afterwards, a German bombardment hits the town, killing Emma and some of the American forces. The four then sit down and have breakfast together, but the tank crew barges in, rudely teasing the women and angering Wardaddy and Norman. Norman presumably sleeps with Emma, then joins Wardaddy and Emma's cousin for breakfast, during which time Norman discovers that Wardaddy has sustained horrific burn scars on his back at some point. This bond between Norman and Wardaddy becomes stronger after capturing a small German town, where Wardaddy and Norman meet a German woman, Irma, and her cousin, named Emma, while searching a house. When Norman refuses to do so, Wardaddy forces the gun into his hand and makes him execute the prisoner. Wardaddy is furious and in an effort to brutalise the young man and 'educate' him to the realities of war, he violently attempts to force Norman to take his weapon and shoot dead a captive German artilleryman, who was wearing a looted American trenchcoat. The surviving crew, who have been together since the North African Campaign, despise the new recruit upon meeting him, for both his lack of experience, and for his reluctance to kill Germans, especially the teenagers of the Hitlerjugend in cold blood a decision which results in the destruction of Lieutenant Parker's tank and the deaths of its entire crew. While at a forward operating base, it's revealed that Wardaddy greatly despises the Waffen-SS, shown when he harasses an injured captive SS officer before telling Norman to kill every one of them he sees. Norman is then ordered to clean the tank, and vomits outside after finding a part of "Red's" face. During his encounter with the men, they harass him and are cruel, obnoxious, and rude to him. The tank's original assistant driver/bow gunner "Red", has been killed in battle and his replacement turns out to be a recently enlisted Army typist, Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman) who, it transpires, has never even seen the inside of a tank before, let alone experienced the ravages of war.
