Hvorfor er de så kedelige, når der findes så meget guf at finde fra virkeligheden.
Prøv at check den her historie fra anden verdenskrig. Det bliver ikke mere badass.On November 3, 1943 the 100th was ordered to make an early morning third crossing of the Volturno River near Ciorlano. After the area had been pounded by a heavy midnight artillery barrage, the 100th and the second battalion of the 133d Infantry set out. At about 4 in the morning B Company of the 100th began crossing the cold, swift waters of the Volturno. The Nisei scrambled up the far bank cold and wet and breathing with exertion, only to find themselves in a minefield. A sudden barrage of mis-placed friendly artillery, followed by an immediate response by German artillery, caught the soldiers in mid crossing. More than 30 Nisei fell to the death that rained down from the skies. Stumbling up from the river banks, the soldiers quickly assembled to move towards their destination on Route 85, four miles away. In the darkness, confusion arose as to which direction the company should travel. The lead platoon walked into a minefield, adding seven more men to the casualty list.
Lieutenant Kim’s platoon moved to the point, backtracking and then setting out in the direction Kim led until a road came into view. The fearless lieutenant moved ahead alone in the darkness to scout it. Even in the darkness it was not hard to follow the brave lieutenant who always wore a knit cap in lieu of a steel helmet. (Lieutenant Kim always said he couldn’t think straight with something heavy on his head.)
Reaching the top of a stone wall, Kim stood and waved the men forward. Suddenly German bullets tore through the air and Kim fell to the ground. In the midst of the furious exchange, Staff Sergeant Robert Ozaki was enraged at the sudden death or capture of the brave lieutenant. Almost reflexively he shouted over the din of battle, “Fix Bayonets”. With yells of “Banzai” the entire front line of Nisei rose and advanced on the German guns. The first bayonet charge in Italy of World War II, coupled with the tenacious “Banzai” attack, stunned the Germans. As the line broke over the wall, they found their lieutenant…alive and throwing grenades at the enemy machinegun nests.
Before the Volturno River action ended, Lieutenant Kim was wounded yet again. He returned to fight with his men all the way through the campaign to rescue the “Lost Battalion” a year later in France. Promoted to Captain, he earned two Purple Hearts, the Silver Star, and became the only Korean-American of World War II to be awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.
Work work.
