According to one report I saw on Sargent York several Germans were charging down a hill toward him. Using his 1911 .45 ACP he picked all of them off. He started with the last one in line, the others thinking he was missing kept coming to meet their death.
Much has been made about York being denied his request as a conscientious Objector. He was initially denied this & sent to boot camp. This denial was later rescinded & he was granted conscientious objector status. In the interim his Sargent had talked with him & he turned it down. He had been convinced it was his Duty as a Christian to defend his country against Evil, which he did so with Vigor. I whole heartedly agree with his final choice & am proud to claim him as a fellow Tennessean.
