The Nazis maintained a crucial foothold in France, known as the Colmar Pocket, with vital bridges across the Rhine. Desperate to retain this position, they launched intense counterattacks to drive the Americans back.

When he enlisted underage in June 1942, his medical exam noted his height at just 5 feet 4 inches and his weight at 112 pounds. Nicknamed "Baby" during training due to his youthful appearance, Murphy’s physical size contrasted sharply with his burgeoning reputation.
