Another one , On January 26, 1945, near Holtzwihr, France (during the Colmar Pocket fighting), 19year old 2nd Lt. Audie Murphy’s depleted company faced six German tanks and waves of infantry.
After ordering his men back to cover, he stayed forward, directed artillery by phone, and then climbed onto a burning M10 tank destroyer (in danger of exploding) to man its .50-caliber machine gun.
