One American vs 250 Germans (WW2 Documentary)

By late January 1945, the German Army in the west faced dire straits following the failure of Hitler’s last major offensive in the Ardennes. The Allies were pushing the Germans back across France, inching closer to the borders of the increasingly beleaguered Third Reich. 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.

On January 26, 1945, the Colmar Pocket became the site of one of the most remarkable solo defenses in military history, led by Lieutenant Audie Murphy. This brief video will utilize cutting-edge technology, on-ground footage, veteran accounts, and archival material to recount his extraordinary stand.

By early 1945, Audie Murphy was already a notable figure among American forces, though his legend seemed unlikely. Born in rural Texas in 1925 to a poor farming family, Murphy was small in stature. 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.
