DID YOU KNOW: Audie Leon Murphy was one of the most decorated American combat soldiers of World War II, receiving every military combat award for valor available from the U.S. Army, as well as French and Belgian awards for heroism. The 19-year-old Murphy received the Medal of Honor after single-handedly holding off an entire company of Germans for an hour at the Colmar Pocket in France in January 1945, then leading a successful counterattack while wounded and out of ammunition. What an absolute badass. He went to hell and back.
This is his song:
BUT NOT ONLY THAT, he also had to falsify his age and weight to get into the Army, he suffered through two separate cases of Malaria while on the front lines of Casablanca with his 1st Battalion. Then he went back to the front lines where he was ambushed by a German machine gun brigade, to which he responded with hand grenades, killing five Germans and taking four prisoner. A MONTH LATER, a German squad ambushed them in a vineyard once again. Germans exited a house about 100 yards away and appeared to surrender; Murphy's best friend responded to them, and they shot and killed him. Murphy advanced alone on the house under direct fire. He wounded two, killed six, and took eleven prisoner. THEN, he was wounded by a mortar shell blast which blew up his heel, but three days later, Murphy crawled alone towards the Germans at L'Omet, carrying an SCR436 radio and directing his men for an hour while the Germans fired directly at him. When his men finally took the hill, 15 Germans had been killed and 35 wounded. THEN while en route to Brouvelieures on 26 October, the 3rd Platoon of Company B was attacked by a German sniper group. Murphy captured two before being shot in the hip by a sniper; he returned fire and shot the sniper between the eyes. Oh and he then got gangrene from the wound and lost part of his hip muscle from it.
AND IF YOU STILL DON'T THINK HE'S A BADASS, He moved with the 3rd Division on 24 January to the town of Holtzwihr, where they met with a strong German counterattack. He was wounded in both legs, as the Germans scored a direct hit on an M10 tank destroyer, setting it alight, forcing the crew to abandon it. Murphy ordered his men to retreat to positions in the woods, remaining alone at his post shooting his M1 carbine and directing artillery fire via his field telephone while the Germans aimed fire directly at his position. Murphy mounted the abandoned, burning tank destroyer and began firing its .50 caliber machine gun at the advancing Germans, killing a squad crawling through a ditch towards him. For an hour, Murphy stood on the tank destroyer returning German fire from foot soldiers and advancing tanks, killing or wounding 50 Germans. He sustained a leg wound during his stand, and stopped only after he ran out of ammunition. Murphy rejoined his men, disregarding his own wound, and led them back to repel the Germans.
What the fuck Murphy. I wish I met this guy.
