He protec, He attacc, But most importantly, He went to hell and bacc

It is rumoured that after the engagement, surviving German tankers wrote letters to Gaijin Entertainment expressing anger at the events that had unfolded, stating that they wanted the M2 Browning to be "nerfed".

Officer : "How close are the Germans." Murphy : "Just hold the phone and I'll let you talk to one of the bastards." *S. A. V. A. G. E*

Its tragic how even a man like him can be crippled by ptsd. Rip Audie.Murphy you left this world too early.

Man his animation just keep growing up like crazy

When one man held off 6 Tanks War thunder players: “impossible”

“Bravery is just determination to do a job you know has to be done” Wow, what a inspiring quote.

Read his book "to hell and back" he also mention about being on top of the burning tank he stated,"that was the first time my feet were warm in a long time" The guys a legend. Many comments here stating he was short, he was small like a boy. Perhaps him being small was an advantage, that a ton of courage.

0:12- I’ll try rolling that’s a good trick 0:47- German soldier using snowman as cover

Imagine if he's still alive and he saw this. He would be a proud soldier.

Thanks for putting this together, I'm a big Audie Murphy fan, my grandad and father told me about his heroics but this video explains the story perfectly.

As a Texan, I'm ashamed to admit that I've never heard of this incredible man until just now. Thank you Yarnhub!!

Nobody: Germans: "That tank is destroyed, now the Americans can't use it against us." Audie Murphy: "Well yes, but actually no."

19 years old, earned the Medal of Honor. THAT is one hell of an achievement!

The man also won 2 Silver Stars just 3 days apart. That's just as amazing, he also did many more things no one else has done in battle. His stories are so incredible most wouldn't believe them. In this story, he held off 6 tanks and 250 men by himself with a gun and a radio, another time he knocked out a tank that blocked 19 more tanks behind it, a crew of Germans came to repair that tank to move it out of the way, he waited around and killed them, then proceeded to destroy the tank even more to make in unmovable. He was a total badass.

My grandmother attended a dance and he was there and she danced with him. She use to tell me about her meeting and dancing with Audie Murphy. He is a hero we should all remember. I see his picture when I go to the VA hospital and it's pretty inspirational.

This man is the embodiment of the phrase “I’m three ounces of whoopass.”

My great grandfather, Roy McCasland, grew up with Murphy in Hunt County, Texas, where they worked the fields before the war. Roy purchased a rifle with several jars of honey, since all money went to his father, and he and Murphy hunted small game with it. That rifle is still in my family today

Its these heroic action that I have heard about for over 2 decades that makes me so passionate about ww1 and ww2 history. The courage, honor and selfless acts to perceive peace. To all those who served and are still serving thank you and God bless

I was assigned to Audie’s 3 Infantry Division in Germany. I visit his gravesite every time I visit Arlington.

His biggest challenge was PTSD. When he played himself in a movie about his battles, they downplayed his actions because his real actions were so amazing that Hollywood felt that they would be unbelievable.

Imagine going back in time and showing Murphy this video He would’ve loved it

Even though many people don't believe me. I am named after Audie Murphy. This video has helped me learn more about Audie Murphy and I am grateful to know his story better.

Amazingly the US Armory that sent to foreign nations and sold off most of the surplus rifles of WW2 located Audie Murphys actual issued M1 carbine and has it on display at the Ordnance Museum.

This guy is basically a real life Captain America. He was a short skinny guy from Texas, and ended up becoming one of the most highly decorated soldier in American history. Dude was so badass, the only person they could find awesome enough to play him in a movie was himself!

Pov: You just watched an interesting story with good animations

An unbelievable feat of arms by one soldier. Raw courage that should inspire all fighting men, everywhere. He had displayed outstanding instincts, time and time again in the heat of battle, far beyond what you would expect for a 19 year old.

I spoke to a number of WWII MOH veterans and many said that the heroes are the ones that killed on the battlefield and returning alive was the best medal of all. My father who fought in WWII as a 1st Sergeant Fox Company 442nd RCT met Audie Murphy many years ago. He trained three soldiers that received the MOH and spoke with one of them at a 442nd Veterans Reunion.

A short man from Texas A man from the wild Thrown into combat Where bodies lied piled

HE SAW CROSSES GROW ON ANZIO, WHERE NO SOLDIERS SLEEP AND WHERE HELL'S SIX FEET DEEP!

Ah yes, the man who sacrificed his height in character creation for the " Massive nuts of steel. " perk.

To the Germans his actions made it look like a whole Battalion were shooting at them! In Combat the only thing between success and failure is hard core Determination, and Murphy HAD THAT! I, A Viet Nam Combat Vet, Salute you, RIP Audie Murphy, you are an inspiration to all of us!

“JUST HOLD THE THE PHONE AND I’LL LET YA TALK TA ONE ONE OF THE B*STARDS” has got to be the best line I have heard from the war.

0:31 Yarnhub's cat sitting in the middle of a battlefield. 0:48 German soldier emerges from a snowman

God bless him! Amazingly I know an army officer who had never heard of him - the most decorated GI in WW2!

Now I know why Destroy All Humans had this great line that the army soldiers in the game will say. "I can be just like Audie Murphy, or Gomer Pyle!"

Funniest line was: "Hold the phone.. I'll let you talk to the bastards" Well done with the animation! Salute to you audie murphy!! edit: holy moly 480 likes?! thank you all!

Texians in 1944: "The snow can't hurt me!" Texians in 2021: *Confused screaming*

There will never be another like him, he had true honour and values. Something that is sadly lacking today.

A lot of Audie's bravery was edit out of To Hell And Back because the producers felt the audience wouldn't believe it. I hope that someone like Mel Gibson or Clint Eastwood, will produce an accurate movie about ALL of Audie's actions. There are many I could cite-such as saving the Ware Patrol from ambush. Col. Ware was another who earned the MoH. Audie's sniper duels, and other actions.

Him at 19:Holds off an entire german advance, gets a medal of honor and lives. Me at 19:Sitting at my desk all day, working all night on the weekends and sitting at my desk all day.

I would pay 100000 dollars just to watch more of these high quality animation

Audie Murphy. They should make a modern movie about him but nobody today would believe it. I remember seeing him in films from when he was acting in war movies. I often thought I could see his real experience in his eyes. I hope reliving the war over and over in movies helped him, I swear I could see real pain on his face sometimes. Legendary man.

This man is a true soldier. He also played in his own movie, wrote a book all with the same name. I highly recommend reading his book. He also advocated for better for soldier's who return home with ptsd and trauma from the war suffering from his own and even refused to a ad for cigarettes because he knew they will try to target young people. Man is a true American.

Murphy's Law: "I'll allow it."

As a little kid growing up I loved Audie Murphy westerns. Then I saw To Hell and Back. Then I bought the book. I have huge respect for Mr. Murphy, Then as an ex reserve artilleryman with 11RCA for almost 19 years and a still serving police officer entering year 24 I appreciate the tough life he had post war. I have seen a lot struggle with critical incidents that pale to what he had to endure. Respect for Allies and veterans. Bravery is not not being scared. It is just refusing to allow fear to make your decisions for you.

We found him. The least clinically insane Texan.

Funfact: when they (Hollywood, who else) made this event into a movie they had to tone down the action scene because the actual event is just too unbelievable

THE ANIMATION IS SOO GOOD

Im crying right now. My great grandfather was at a lot of the same places with Audie Murphy in WW2. Audie Murphy stopped an indian from beating my great grandfather up. He lived very long and died a few years ago. He had many stories. What’s even funnier is that my grandma, his daughter, had a crush on Audie Murphy 😂

I live in the town where this man grew up, it's an honor to see his statue everyday

And after this audie became a movie star. He even starred in a movie that followed his actions in ww2 including this action. Truly deserved that Medal of Honor

2:55 "Just hold the phone and i'let you talk one of the bastards!" Damn, that really a hit!

When you realise you can't do the thing in game which he had done in real life. True example of Bravery and courage. Salute to you sir

I will never get sick of this channels animations. They may be simple but they have a lot of work put into them. The weapons, vehicles, and gear sets are super crisp. Great channel.

There is a movie about Audie Murphy called "To Hell and Back" He played himself, because nobody got the balls big enough to play as him.

"A short man from Texas A man of the wild Thrown into combat Where bodies lie piled Hides his emotions His blood's running cold Just like his victories His story unfolds!"

In his book, Murphy said it was the first time he had been warm for many days. The Germans couldn't believe that anyone would be mad enough to stand on a blazing tank.

2:49 “JUST HOLD THE DAMN PHONE AND ILL LET YOU TALK TO ONE OF THE BASTARDS”

Steve Rogers: "Who are you?" Audie Murphy: "I'm you, but real." Also, after Night Witches and No Bullets Fly, I'm almost always expecting a music video in the middle of some of these.

The most decorated man in all of US history. A legend of a man.

"A short man from Texas, a man of the wild" hat is not often mentioned about Audie Murphy was his horrible PTSD. to the day he died he slept with a loaded .45 under his pillow. Plagued with constant nightmares of the war. he was one of the first to speak out and advocate for veteran's mental health. most of the lyrics of "to hell and back" are taken from Lt Murphy's poem The Crosses Grow on Anzio

Farmersville, Tx. N.E. of Dallas somewhere. Here from Audie Murphy Veteran's Hospital in San Antonio, Tx. Great respect for farmer's boy.

"Crosses grow on Anzio. Where no soldiers sleep And where hell's six feet deep. That death does wait, there's no debate. So charge and attack. Going to hell and back"

If you were my history teacher, history would be my favourite lesson.

We need more men like him . We built America on standing on the shoulders of hero like him

This was only 6 Minutes? It was so catching it felt so much longer. Now this is what you call leadership, an absolutely crazy story.

The Army Navy and Marines originally turned him down for being underweight and underage, bet they're glad he eventually got in

I like the added touch of the German popping out of the snowman at 0:48.

17 July 1941 sergeant Nikolay Sirotinin gave a fight to a 4th Guderian panzer group. Battle continued for 6 hours, 11 tanks were destroyed, 7 armored vehicles and 57 of casualties. Same army that invaded Denmark less than 5 hours been held by one guy .

Audie Murphy : Enemy ahead krauts : take off snowman head Audie Murphy : so you have chosen.. death *continues to destroy 6 tanks R.I.P snowman

A short man from Texas A man of the wild Thrown into combat Where bodies lie piled Hides his emotions His blood’s running cold Just like his victories, His story unfolds Bright A white light If there’d be Any glory in war Let it rest On men like him Dead men will never come back Crosses grow on Anzio Where no soldiers sleep And where hell’s six feet deep That death does wait There’s no debate So charge and attack Going to Hell and Back A man of the 15th A man of Can Do Friends fall around him And yet he came through Let them fall face down If they must die Making it easier To say goodbye Bright A white light If there’d be, Any glory in war Let it rest On men like him Who went to Hell and came back Crosses grow on Anzio Where no soldiers sleep And where hell is six feet deep That death does wait There’s no debate So charge and attack Going to Hell and Back Oh gather round me And listen while I speak Of a war Where Hell is six feet deep And all along the shore Where cannons still roar They’re haunting my dreams They’re still there when I sleep Crosses grow on Anzio Where no soldiers sleep and where hell is six feet deep That death does wait There’s no debate So charge and attack Going to Hell and Back

Audie Murphy sure was one great man. One thing most people where I live have forgotten is that he died here in my Hometown, his plane crashed into one of our local mountains. My dad who is an army vet himself took me to the base of the mountain when i was a kid and we hiked to the area where the plain met the mountain. He showed me because my WW2 vet grandfather showed him back in the 70s every time I drive past the mountain I think about him.

The unique thing about Audie Murphy’s actions in WWII, are that they are actions, plural, not an action. Almost all Medal recipients are recognized for one, truly heroic, action, then done. Murphy’s WWII service is noted for day in, day out, multiple superhuman deeds, over the course of war in the ETO. Truly astounding.

It's a shame this man's life was tragically cut short R.I.P audie murphy

Audie murphy would love this animation

Joel Niemann 1 second ago I had never heard of him until coming across a memorial along the Appalachian Trail west of Roanoke near where his plane crashed. Glad to learn more about his story.

Good job highlighting this hero. I like their simplicity. You get straight to the story an you don't babble on.

This has to be one of if not the best history channels made! Amazing work Yarnhub!

"Just told the phone I'll let you talk to one of the bastards" audie murphy

1 man, and an artillery formation, to be precise.

I like how almost in every video there’s always at least one funny thing in the background.

My great grandfather was in the same battalion as Audie Murphy, godspeed.

This man is a true American hero. My dad often talks about his bravery. When we went to Arlington together his was the first grave we went to. Thank you yarnhub for telling his story

Thank You for keeping his memory alive

Que gran historia, me emocionó hasta las lagrimas ,todo mi respeto a ese gran soldado

R.I.P. Audie Murphy. To quote Sir Winston Churchill, " Never before has so many , owed so much, to so few ".

I had the privilege of serving in the 3rd Infantry Division in the mid eighties. Watching the movie To Hell and Back was part of our Head Start Program

Did anyone watch To Hell and Back staring Audie Murphy himself in his autobiography turned into a movie?

I was 6 years old when my Daddy and Grandfather told me the story of a young lad called Audie Murphy. How he was taught to fight and kill for his country the United States of America then was sent to WWll. As the youngster (as they called Audie) was walking along with the other men the enemy opened fire. This was not long after landing and one of the soldiers near Audie was killed. This both terrified and pushed his self determination to go home, to stay alive at all cost. After that Audie was determined not to let the enemy gain an inch or get the upper hand where it was possible. The horrific nightmare was seeing his comrades and friends around him being killed. When the opportunity forced itself upon Audie as the commanding officer he never thought twice he and did his duty and swung into the action gone down in history as the bravest young 18 year old that held off the army of enemy soldiers single handed. To this very day France had a memorial plaque near the very spot this action took place. They honour the young man, Audie Murphy for his bravery. Audie Leon Murphy is the highest decorated soldiers in history and received every single medal for bravery and distinction from his country United States of America, most importantly the greatest of all the Medal of Honour. Audie Leon Murphy was decorated with 4 medals from France 🇫🇷 and 1 medal from Belgium 🇧🇪 as well. Audie hated being called, "A true living hero." He stated many times that in fact, " The real heroes were those men that gave up their lives for their country to stay free. Those heroes are buried six feet deep in soil in Europe. I am just one man whom fought at their side and was very lucky to come home alive." I have admired, respected, loved and honoured Major Audie Leon Murphy all my life. For his great service I say, "Thank you Audie and I appreciate all you sacrifice in those years of fighting." What's more I am not an American I still honour extremely brave American soldier every day. In a statement I once read, " Audie as long as ALL service men are remembered and recognised for their bravery you and all the others alive and dead whom fought for freedom it was not for nothing. Regardless of being buried in another country, at home or are still living at this time you will remain a great young hero. A man who our young people can look up to and hopefully aspire to be like. " For me that still rings true today. Audie Murphy went on to become a best selling author, a movie acting star, a song writer, a producer in several movies, he raised horses and was a business. Most importantly of all Audie was a husband, a father, a brother and an uncle to his family. Rest in Eternal Peace Major Audie Leon Murphy.... You are missed, remembered and forever loved. 🇺🇲

“I just fought to stay alive, like anyone else, I guess" Has got to be the most humble thing a man could have said in his position. A real hero

0:48 I love how this channel adds humour to history.

“At 19 years old” oh they’ll just retreat “The native Texan” oh Nevermind ...

A mixture of true grit, determination, a gameplam and pure luck.

I knew a lot of men who served in Germany after WW2 and I was told pictures of Audrey Murphy hung in most German taverns and many a toast was made to his courage .

After the war murphy became an actor. He played himself in the movie to hell and back and helped the writers. They showed him the script and he was asking to tone down some of his achievments. They asked why, everything is true correct. His response was something like, yea its all true but its gonna be hard for anyone to believe i did all that.

0:48 The German casually has a snowman in the middle of a war

I love this video so much. It tears me up a little bit. I have always looked up to Audie Murphey as a hero of a bygone age.

I used to see him in cowboy movies when I was a kid. Had no idea he was a decorated hero. RIP, great warrior. Hi from Queensland, Australia. 👍
