    the 3rd Division landed in Southern France[6] on August 15, 1944 as part of Operation Anvil-Dragoon.[6] Shortly thereafter, Murphy's best friend, Lattie Tipton (referred to as "Brandon" in Murphy's book To Hell and Back), was killed by a German soldier in a machine gun nest who was feigning surrender.[1] Murphy went into a rage,[1] and single-handedly wiped out the German machine gun crew which had just killed his friend.[1] He then used the German machine gun and grenades to destroy several other nearby enemy positions.[1] For this act, Murphy received the Distinguished Service Cross[1] (second in importance only to the Medal of Honor).

    Luger? Shouldn't it have been a Colt? He was an American, not German.

    He actually became addicted to meds they gave him for shell shock, and so to get over the effects, well, he locked himself up in a hotel room for a week and got over it.

    I wrote a short, over-dramatized short story about Audie Murphy, once.

    It looks good. I just wish that ghillie tarp or whatever covers those trenches weren't so eye-rapingly ugly.

    Audie Murphy was "THE" WWII hero, Most decorated soldier of the 3rd ID and movie star. His movie 'To Hell and Back' was his story!

    It's physically impossible to write an overdramatised story about Audie Murphy, because anything you can come up with that sounds utterly ridiculous, he's already done. Many, many times.

    Dude owned so hard they cast him as himself in the movie about him. I guess no other actor could handle that level of sheer badarse.

    Yep. He even had to TONE DOWN his movie because some of the shit he'd done would have made audiences go "lolwut".

    You should have used a CoD model since everyone say they are "short". Audie Murphy was like 1,64m. Which adds to his badassery IMO.

    I personally think the british soldier with a claymore, who used to scare train travelers by throwing his suitcase into his backyard is probably in some ways more of an odd perrson :P
