John Kettler Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Since this list skews more toward War in the West, I'm posting it here. One of my favorites, Charles Carpenter, the guy who armed his single-engine unarmed observation plane with bazookas and went out solo busting German AFVs with his field modded bird, is here. Many of the other one man warfighters I'd not ever read of or heard about. Covers ETO, MTO, Eastern Front and PTO. http://listverse.com/2013/10/18/10-world-war-ii-soldiers-who-pulled-off-amazing-feats/ Regards, John Kettler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 JoMC67, You're most welcome. I love stories such as those. What we need to do is spend a rollcking evening at a pub with great food, wonderful beer and a fireplace while having JasonC regale us with the feats of derring do he's absorbed from reading all those MOH citations and AARs.

Pak40 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Grog spot error in first paragraph! Dirk J. Vlug, born in 1916, served as a Private First Class in the 126th Infantry Division based in the Philippines. 126 Infantry Division? I'm guessing he meant 126 Infantry regiment, part of the 32nd Infantry Division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Pak40, Well spotted! Five tanks and a pistol kill on a TC? Precisely the reason why the Army has KP duty. Helps motivate slackers like this guy! Overview of his regiment's parent division. http://www.32nd-division.org/history/ww2/32ww2-1.html Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
