>Basilone had a machine gun on the go for three days and nights without sleep, rest, or food. He was in a good emplacement, and causing the Japanese lots of trouble, not only firing his machine gun, but also using his pistol
wat
how much of these WW2 stories is real, and how much is propaganda to motivate others?
Adam Kelly
Well if the early days of Gaudacanal are anything to go by it's most likely true. The Marines supply was cut off by the fighting from the IJN and USN
Dominic Hughes
well afterwards he was parading through the country to make people buy war bonds, before deploying again. so making the story sound even more heroic seems likely.
James Russell
what about that one fat nerd who killed 4 dudes with his bare hands, got blown the fuck up by a grenade and then went on tending to his injured squad mates?

Joseph Jackson
That was likely just like 1 whole day of fighting IRL. Maybe 1.5 days of full fighting. I doubt he fought for 3 days straight but at the same time I don't think it's all completely made up and he probably did fight like a madman for at least a whole day straight

>As they attempted to continue up the hill, several Chinese soldiers from a nearby trench opened fire, injuring another soldier. According to eyewitness reports, Bleak rushed the trench and dove into it, tackling one Chinese soldier and breaking the man's neck with only his hands, killing him. Bleak was then confronted by a second soldier, whom he reportedly grabbed by the neck, fatally crushing his windpipe. A third Chinese soldier then approached, and in the ensuing scuffle, Bleak used his combat knife to kill him.[2][3][5]

As he moved down the hill with his heavy burden, he was attacked by 2 enemy soldiers with fixed bayonets. Closing with the aggressors, he grabbed them and smacked their heads together, then carried his helpless comrade down the hill to safety.

"He had this way of looking at you with his eyes half-open," recon man Frank Burkhart
remembers. "If he looked at me like that, I'd just about freeze."
Shriver always had been different. In the early 1960s, when Rich Ryan served with him
in the 7th Army's Long Range Patrol Company in Germany, Shriver's buddies called
him "Digger" since they thought he looked like an undertaker. As a joke his LRRP
comrades concocted their own religion, "The Mahoganites," which worshipped a
mahogany statue. "So we would carry Shriver around on an empty bunk with a sheet
over him and candles on the corners," recalled Ryan, "and chant, 'Maaa-haa-ga-ney,
Maaa-haa-ga-ney.' Scared the hell out of new guys."
Owen Green

Guy Louis Gabaldon (March 22, 1926 – August 31, 2006) was a United States Marine who, at age 18, captured or persuaded to surrender over 1,300 Japanese soldiers and civilians during the battles for Saipan and Tinian islands in 1944 during World War II. Though Gabaldon was recommended for the Medal of Honor, he received the Silver Star, which was upgraded by the Marine Corps to the Navy Cross in 1960

During the early stages of this attack, Sgt. Baker was severely wounded, but he insisted on remaining in the line and fired at the enemy at ranges sometimes as close as 5 yards until his ammunition ran out. Without ammunition and with his weapon battered to uselessness from hand-to-hand combat, he was carried about 50 yards to the rear by a comrade, who was then himself wounded. At this point Sgt. Baker refused to be moved any further stating that he preferred to be left to die rather than risk the lives of any more of his friends. A short time later, at his request, he was placed in a sitting position against a small tree. Another comrade, withdrawing, offered assistance. Sgt. Baker refused, insisting that he be left alone and be given a soldier's pistol with its remaining eight rounds of ammunition. When last seen alive, Sgt. Baker was propped against a tree, pistol in hand, calmly facing the foe. Later Sgt. Baker's body was found in the same position, gun empty, with 8 Japanese lying dead before him.

>In the essay On Pain, written and published in 1934, Jünger rejects the liberal values of liberty, security, ease, and comfort, and seeks instead the measure of man in the capacity to withstand pain and sacrifice. Around this time his writing included the aphorism "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger; and what kills me makes me incredibly strong."

MoH recipient Fred Stockham, USMC.
In WWI, GySgt. Fred Stockham was fighting in Belleau Woods. Germans start dropping gas on the American positions, but everybody is more or less used to it. Germans start dropping mortars on the position, and some private gets knocked down. His mask's fine, but he's hurt and would probably die without help. Stockham, being a former firefighter, picks him up and carries him 400 yards to an aid station.
On the way, mortar goes off right on top of them. Stockham is fine, but the private's mask is broken. Stockham gives him his mask and carries him another 200 yards through poison gas to the aid station.
He died two days later, after extreme and excruciating pain.

>Major then proceeded to run throughout the city firing his sub-machine gun, throwing grenades and making so much noise that he fooled the Germans into thinking that the Canadian Army was storming the city in earnest. As he was doing this, he would attack and capture German troops. About 10 times during the night, he captured groups of 8 to 10 German soldiers, escorted them out of the city and handed them over to French-Canadian troops waiting in the vicinity. After transferring his prisoners, he would return to Zwolle to continue his assault. Four times during the night, he had to force his way into civilians' houses to rest. He eventually located the Gestapo HQ and set the building on fire. Later stumbling upon the SS HQ, he engaged in a quick but deadly fight with eight Nazi officers: four were killed, the others fled. He noticed that two of the SS men he had just killed were disguised as Resistance members. The Zwolle Resistance had been (or was going to be), infiltrated by the Nazis.
>By 4:30 am, the exhausted Major found out that the Germans had retreated. Zwolle had been liberated,[9] and the Resistance contacted. Walking in the street, he met four members of the Dutch Resistance. He informed them that the city was now free of Germans.
