Today in 1945, a 19-yr-old US Army lieutenant from Kingston, Texas named Audie Murphy leaps aboard a knocked out armoured vehicle and single-handedly holds off an enemy assault with a .50 cal MG. He will later be awarded the Medal of Honor and star in his own Hollywood biopic. pic.twitter.com/tQfsVJtVED
