Audie Murphy’s Finest Hour
Hitler’s Last Stand 5
January 1945. An American 2nd Lieutenant sends his company back during an enemy counterattack during the Allied bid to clear the Colmar Pocket. He tries to hold off the German soldiers with his carbine rifle and calling in artillery but runs out of bullets. When he prepares to retreat, he notices a .50 caliber machine gun mounted on a burning tank destroyer and climbs aboard to continue his fight.
