Nice shot! One in the head under those circumstances, great dang shot! Probably apocryphal though.
AWESOME!!!!
Probably true. In my fathers unit a private shot a german pilot through the head with a single shot from his garand. The pilot was strafing the units camp and as he came in low and opened up with his guns the private loaded his garand and took one shot.
A few days later General Patton came by and shook his hand and said “Damned fine shooting soldier.” And the drove off in a cloud of dust.
In those days we were made of sterner stuff.
