When 1 Man Held Off 6 Tanks 

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*

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Pov: You just watched an interesting story with good animations

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

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!

Man his animation just keep growing up like crazy

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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 😂

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

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

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.

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!

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.

“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.

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.

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!"

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

THE ANIMATION IS SOO GOOD

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

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 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

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

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.

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 .

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

"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!"

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. 👍

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

"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"

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

bro was popping off with that 50+ killstreak and an insane amount of assists

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!

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

how great it was to watch his movies growing up back then...i still do ..he was real...

. 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 🇺🇸❤️🙏

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

Rambo: I am the most badass soldier in history Murphy: Think Again

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

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.

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.

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

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

Audie is from my hometown, Farmersville Texas. Every year we hold an Audie Murphy day with parades, food and speeches from his sister's and our current congressman. I grew up wanting to be that kind of American.

Audie murphy would love this animation

How do you people keep making so many these excellently animated videos? And every time they just keep getting better.

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.

My grandfather was killed in this battle. He wasn't fighting for either side - he was living in a farm house near here and went over to complain about the noise.

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

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

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.

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 .

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

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

It’s crazy to see the animations getting better I remember the first video I watched about a German BF-109 helping an American plane

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.

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

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

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

I love watching videos like this. Thank you

I'm sure that felt much longer than an hour for him. This is insane.
