Yesterday, I saw a western on French TV and before, the announcer told the story of this man.
He fought in Holtzwihr, near Colmar and I never hear of him!!!

The best Militaria forum in France is here : http://deutsch-militaria.forumactif.us/
He was the most decorated US soldier of WWII and then later became an actor. He had some personal problems but was undoubtedly a very brave man. He repeatedly refused a commission until all his buddies had been killed. There is a movie of his wartime exploits to hell and back based on a book.

Whatever its just an opinion.
A great photo of a incredible soldier.I have a Life magazine from July 16,1945 which shows him back home and shows his medals.He looks like a young boy and I know he died in a plane crash I believe in 1971.RIP GREAT GUY.

Audie Murphy had a difficult time entering the military as he was of slight build and appeared too weak to serve in the military. He persisted and finally was accepted by the U S Army. He died in a private plane crash in 1971. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetary.

One of mine as well.
He had the ability of staying cool in the heat of battle
and could assess otherwise confusing combat
situations. Interestingly, he played himself
in the film "To Hell And Back".........
