One Man vs. 200 Germans: Audie Murphy’s Impossible Stand at Holtzwihr

On January 26, 1945, in the frozen fields of Holtzwihr, France, a 19-year-old U.S. Army lieutenant named Audie Murphy faced overwhelming odds. With over 200 German soldiers and six tanks advancing on his position—and no reinforcements in sight—Murphy did the unthinkable: he stood his ground alone.

Armed with a .50 caliber machine gun mounted on a burning tank destroyer, Murphy held the line for nearly an hour, calling in artillery strikes, mowing down enemy troops, and turning the tide of battle. His heroism would earn him the Medal of Honor and a place in military history.

This video tells the incredible true story of that day—how one man’s courage and determination changed the course of a battle and inspired a nation.
