Audie Murphy’s stand near Holtzwihr, France, in January 1945.

Historical background

On 26 January 1945, German infantry and armour attacked Murphy’s company near Holtzwihr in Alsace. Murphy ordered his men back, remained in position to direct artillery and used a machine gun mounted on a burning tank destroyer.

Despite being wounded, he returned to his company and led a counterattack. He received the Medal of Honor for his actions that day.
