Wardaddy: Ideals are peaceful. History is violent.
Wardaddy: It will end, soon. But before it does, a lot more people have to die.
Wardaddy: I had the best bow gunner in the entire Ninth Army in that seat. Now I have you.
Norman Ellison: Best job I've ever had.
Continuity mistake: While showing the other tank commanders the unit's objectives on the map with his finger, Lieutenant Parker removes it, but the next shot of him and the tankers shows him still pointing on the map. (00:18:20)
Trivia: Staff Sergeant Collier's nickname, "War Daddy" is based on the nickname of real World War 2 Sherman tank commander Staff Sergeant Lafayette G. Pool, who fought with the 3rd Armored Division. Pool survived the war (though he lost a leg from his last combat operation) and died in 1991.
Question: What exactly did it take to get Norman to become brave and more willing to fight?

Answer: Although he starts out afraid, awkward and hesitant, Norman gradually becomes battle-hardened throughout the film. But there is one event that probably changes Norman more than anything: When his one-night love interest, Emma, is killed during a German attack. After that, the tank crew realises that Norman has changed, become harder and more focused, and they finally accept him as a team member with the nickname "Machine."
