Most people have probably never heard of Sgt. Alvin York, the man who singlehandedly captured 132 Germans.
“The Argonne Forest, France, 8 October 1918. After his platoon suffered heavy casualties, Alvin York assumed command. Fearlessly leading 7 men, he charged with great daring a machine gun nest which was pouring deadly and incessant fire upon his platoon. In this heroic feat the machine-gun nest was taken, together with 4 German officers and 128 men and several guns,”
Looks like his weapon might be destroyed soon.

Sad that it must come on the heels of this post.
