Bad-ass WWI Solder Captures 132 Germans

.

His Name was Alvin York

.

.

He captured 132 Germans with nothing more then a pistol and a rifle.  To start off York was out in the open and the Germans had the advantage of being above him and with some 30 machine guns among them.   The Germans quickly mowed down most of York’s squad including his commanding officer leaving him in charge.  The surviving members of his squad were busy guarding their previous obtained prisoners which left York fighting on his own.   York quickly realized he had no time to run for cover so he began picking off the Germans one by one.

York was racking up quite a body count when a group of Germans jumped out from the trench and charged him with bayonets, the average person would run for cover but what did York do?   He whips out his pistol and systematically takes out the solders in the back so the front line keeps charging, York kills all of the Germans descending upon him.
The whole time might i add, York was shouting too the Germans that they could surrender at any time.  Too Yorks supprise they did, the German commander threw up his hands and said to York “If you won’t shoot any more I will make them give up.”  York is by far the most Bad-ass WWI soldier I’ve heard of.
