- Audie Murphy was awarded the Medal of Honor for his action in January 1945, near Holtzwihr, France. When his company was forced to retreat Murphy remained behind directing artillery fire on the enemy infantry and armor. While not physically large Murphy at just 5 feet 5 inches (1.65m) and 110 lb (50kg) managed to single-handedly turn back the Germans and was awarded the medal of honor for his "Conspicuous Gallantry and Intrepidity Involving Risk of Life Above and Beyond the Call of Duty In Action With the Enemy".

"Chuck Norris? Never heard of her?"
This is a Texan move 100%
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.
We might be little guys but we are buzz saws
I mean being a smaller target definitely isn't a disadvantage.
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".
It's true actually, gaijin decided to help them by nerfing it. When they tried to run the server, most of their server hamsters died and it was decided not to publish the update. I know because I was one of the surviving hamsters.
Ironic.
@@gnas1897 Yes, and some reports also state that after the update failed to roll out, Gaijin Entertainment reportedly gave up, deciding to instead introduce a new top-tier premium vehicle rather than continue in trying to roll out the bug patches.
Sounds much like gaijin

“Bravery is just determination to do a job you know has to be done”
Wow, what a inspiring quote.
Its tragic how even a man like him can be crippled by ptsd.
Rip Audie.Murphy you left this world too early.
The reason is he's a human
He locked himself in a cabin and battled his demons and overcame his addiction to prescription drugs. In my honest opinion, this man was a soldier in every sense of the word. An actual modern day legend, straight from America.
I had a friend who told me that years after the war he still had dreams about it. There's somethings people never forgets. He was also wounded 3 times. The 3rd time he came home.
Bro he was 106 yrs old, how did he die to soon?
Not ptsd,plane crash.
Nobody:
Germans: "That tank is destroyed, now the Americans can't use it against us."
Audie Murphy: "Well yes, but actually no."

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.
this only details one episode in his war read his book To Hell and Back to learn the rest of his story.
As a Texan, I'm ashamed to admit that I've never heard of this incredible man until just now. Thank you Yarnhub!!
There's a museum in Greenville TX, you can't miss it. There's a big statue of him out front carrying an Mg-42.
Your not a Texan; your the 41% that just ended up here from that dump u came from, my family got here in 1849 ;-)
@@scottkrater2131 Which is a reference to one of his most badass moments. (Haha, "one of". This guy was a human highlight reel)
So basically he was patrolling on point with his best friend when some Germans appeared to surrender. When Murphy and his mate went to apprehend them, hidden machine gun nests shot his friend dead right in front of him. This would turn out to be a mistake.
So Audie Murphy turned into a Super Saiyan and stormed a machine gun nest by himself, killing everyone inside. Out of ammo, he picked up the MG-42 MOUNTED MACHINE GUN and stormed the second best, killing everyone there, too. Still under the effect of a massive killboner, he rallied his men (who were just stunned into silence by what they just witnessed) and they fucked the shit up of the third machine gun nest.
This inhuman act of bravery got him awarded a Distinguished Service Cross.
@@jaymeister4850 the museum they built in his hometown is made from that incident. Him charging the Germans with a Mg-42. He was definitely a natural born killer lol.
No need for shame. Now you have heard of him, & you can do your part by spreading his legend to everyone who is interested enough to listen.

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.
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.
That's just hunting plain and simple.
Imagine going back in time and showing Murphy this video
He would’ve loved it
Thanks, Stalin.
I agree with my boy Stalin on this one
Hi am in red
So I guess you can say I serve the Soviet union
I don't know. He didn't like very much his time at the army, in the end
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
Note all the soldiers including Audie using M1 Carbines he carried it himself and liked the gun.
Thats Amazing,
YANKS WON THE WAR ON THIRE OWN !!!!!!!!!!😂 He Was a Tiny bloke Ps CHECK OUT THE GREEK Bloke AGAINST the WHOLE TURKISH ARMY 1974 😮h
y u gotta flex on us like that
Ummm how many jars of honey? Just wondering for when I purchase my next gun 🤔
I was assigned to Audie’s 3 Infantry Division in Germany. I visit his gravesite every time I visit Arlington.
all i have to say is thank you for your service.
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
Pov: You just watched an interesting story with good animations
U don’t know how to POV
@@turklander69 what
Same
An that’s a fact
@@turklander69 but he is right tho
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.
To Hell and Back.
Even Doss' portrayal in Hacksaw Ridge is downplayed.
I saw an interview about him and his CMH. They had to tone down what he actually did in the paperwork so he would get the CMH. It was closer to 800 to 1200 infantry and 2 dozen tanks.
When Hollywood has to down play what you did because it might not be believed that’s when you know your story is good.
@@Armyman-wg5sg I've read that he requested the movie be toned down, not Hollywood doing it themselves
Ah yes, the man who sacrificed his height in character creation for the " Massive nuts of steel. " perk.
Audie Murphy loved America. Hero. No. Heroes are mans creation. He did his best to protect god's creation, America - and was humble of his accomplishments. Not a hero, just one of god's warriors and he was thankful for that. I apologize if it upsets some to say not a hero but I think higher than that of someone that just did his best and did so well.
@@larryniidji althought i'm not an American, but i knew that you guys had one bloody history, many had fallen to build your country, then why give God credits but not them?
@@lehaidang2602 We do give them credit. Whether that is actually larry there's belief or what in general religious American's when they talk like that give credit to god for the ideals of freedom not granted but innate to people and then give thanks to those who were willing to fight to allow that freedom a chance. Not sure if I got the idea across. If I can help clarify please say so I will try my best to explain it but might have some trouble since not particularly religious.
@@lehaidang2602 The reasoning is; " Can't fight if God doesn't give you life and can't save lives by taking others in sound mind without God at least giving you the peace of mind that you're doing this for the right thing. " - it's partially a cultural thing that has helped people cope with trauma in the past and be all " God will forgive me. He will. " - and also it's given people purpose to fight for America, or even object to violence and only save lives. It takes many forms. But the hands that kill? All human skill, friend. We're aware.
@@spartanonxy They possibly come from an Eastern nation, possibly even China, or Japan. No telling how they view this. I know Japan doesn't do spirituality unless it's " Take care of your home or spooky ghosts will get you. BOO! " - yet they don't believe in God or Kami. It's just cultural barriers. At least they understand that this country has been build on the sacrifices of actually good Americans and now it's being run by the worst of the worst being pulled from the recesses of places like Twitter where they campaign for social clout, run for office and literally get elected " for the meme "
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.
Man his animation just keep growing up like crazy
Yeah they making the animation like a speedrun to make it as smooth as possible
Ikr in only a couple episodes he went from 2D to 3D Then making that as nice as possible, this guy is a mad man.
It can't be one person... can it?
I've always operated under the assumption that Yarnhub was multiple people. I genuinely don't think one person can produce these videos each week alone.
He even has dust animation now.
I remember in 2019 his animations were VERY Similar to the Infographics Show's Animation. 2D and Made with Premade Sprites
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!
Exactly!
He also had health issues and that's what stunted his growth.
Blablabla

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.

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.
Nah, Hacksaw Ridge was an amazing movie, it proved that war stories can be made into blockbuster movies.

These guys are awsome.
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.
The anecdote about cigarettes is unsurprising considering he overcame a drug addiction by locking himself in a hotel room and toughing it out cold turkey.

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.

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.

@Galaxy Gamers can u make it better for him then
@Galaxy Gamers for someone doesnt do anything but insult, its damned man
@Galaxy Gamers Goddamnit man, I myself am an noob single animator, and I kid ya not, animating facial expressions is literally the hardest thing in entire field. And if you look at the other factors such as their tank models, plane models... so goddamn good. And even very historically accurate. One hell of a job from Yarnhub and if you compare other videos made by them, you can see just how amazing their progress in quality is.
@Galaxy Gamers The Animation Is Very good , It's Very good for 2021 and in CGI.
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.
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.
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
Dude was so badass, they couldn't find any actors awesome enough to play him. So they had to get him to play himself.
And if I remember right, they had to downplay some of his actions for the movie as they were too unbelievable.
Also the scene with Rambo hailing 50 cal hell on Burmese military is more or less inspired from Audie Murphy.
Audie was also featured in a couple of Western movies after the war as well.

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 .

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. 👍
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.
And a Sabaton song called to Hell and Back
And he wrote a poem under the same name
the balls on this man...
Didn’t they have to make special doors for him because of his balls?
My grandpa is the lanky guy that shoots the house with the bazooka in the movie. He was in the army at the time and was randomly selected from his platoon to be an extra. He was the only one that raised his hand on set when asked if someone knew how to fire one. Few minutes later he found himself in the middle of a scene blowin up a house. He always talks bout it still. We all howler everytime we watch that part. Lol.

. He did not like to talk about the war. He had horrible nightmares about the war. Absolutely hero. He deserves all the recognition in the world 🇺🇸❤️🙏
That's part of why the video for "To Hell And Back" features a man in a hotel room hallucinating. The song isn't just about the war he fought in Europe; it's about the war he fought inside himself for the rest of his life.
I like how almost in every video there’s always at least one funny thing in the background.

Audie Murphy would kick Rambo in the nuts and would later thank him.
Chad: Short guys will never be qualified in combat
Murphy: Think again
“At 19 years old” oh they’ll just retreat
“The native Texan” oh Nevermind ...
We need more men like him . We built America on standing on the shoulders of hero like him
“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
This has to be one of if not the best history channels made! Amazing work Yarnhub!
The Army Navy and Marines originally turned him down for being underweight and underage, bet they're glad he eventually got in
You forgot too short.
@@michaelmckinnon1591 true, he was rejected cos his height.
Audy was a genuine bad ass and the definition of a hero. You open a dictionary and look for hero hi picture is there. The man got 2 medals of honor and survived.
Good job highlighting this hero. I like their simplicity. You get straight to the story an you don't babble on.
My great grandfather was in the same battalion as Audie Murphy, godspeed.
any war stroys?
Any war stories?
It's a shame this man's life was tragically cut short R.I.P audie murphy
Didn’t he die in a plane/helicopter crash?
@@jacobdewey2053 Plane crash.
@@alexs5744 He was about to play role in a western with Clint Eastwood.
@@DonMeaker Which one?
@@alexs5744 It never happened due to Audi's death in a plane crash. www.audiemurphy.com/fanclub/ALMNFC_Vol2no2.pdf
He was the greatest hero of America. Yet he suffered from the most common problem. PTSD, most of them did, an still do. He went through hell an came home to still be in hell. Thank you all veterans.
how great it was to watch his movies growing up back then...i still do ..he was real...
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
Seems like the right thing to do, go to his grave first, one of America’s greatest heroes, and bonus points for killing Nazi bastards by the score. I love it!
R.I.P. Audie Murphy. To quote Sir Winston Churchill, " Never before has so many , owed so much, to so few ".
Well said.
You can say the same about student debt
@@galerinha You could, but that takes statement totally out of context.
@@galerinha Soldiers had no time for gender studies
@@hamzamahmood9565 nice empty profile propaganda bot
A great American, hats off to the greatest generation.
This was referenced in the movie fury when Sgt. Don (wardaddy) got on the 50 cal on the Sherman after running out of ammo on the main gun he cuts down as many Germans as he can before being killed in the end
Did anyone watch To Hell and Back staring Audie Murphy himself in his autobiography turned into a movie?
Yes. In that movie they decided to portray this event without the snow.
@@stevenguild2707 he was disappointed they had to use a sherman rather than an m10 too.
Supposedly he asked them to tone down the portrayal of some of his heroics because they seemed unbelievable to most people.
Read his autobiography if you want the story of his real battle: the one with PTSD.
I have the movie and I watched it too
Audie murphy would love this animation

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.
The movie about him...stars him. Great movie. One of my favorites as a kid and no, I am not that old. We watched war movies in our house; military family. He and Sergeant York inspired me to serve too.
How do you people keep making so many these excellently animated videos? And every time they just keep getting better.
Do*
@@Correction_Guy Thanks for noticing mate!
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.
Thank You for keeping his memory alive
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. 🇺🇲
"Just told the phone I'll let you talk to one of the bastards" audie murphy
That was an epic line, something I never knew he actually said. When you see what he did in this animation, it's really quite an incredible true story!
I live in Alsace and we can see the M10 of Murphy. My father told me this story but the video is incredible. Its very realistic, I love it
Wait, you mean it's still there?
