Medal of Honor On Netflix

[WillBrink]

A series that covers various events that lead to men earning the MOH. Some I'd heard of, some I had not. It's quite well done. First one starts with the story of U.S. Army Sergeant Sylvester Antolak , who had his men pinned down by German machine guns as they were trying to break out after the Anzio Beach landing, ran 200+ yards in the open to draw their attention away from his men, was shot 3 times by the Germans, and got up each time to charge them with nothing but a Tommy Gun and only one working arm. When he, all by himself made it to the German position under heavy fire the entire time seriously if not mortally wounded, 10 Germans surrendered. When his men made it to his position, he asked for a cig, then charged another machine gun position and was cut down for the final time (1). Must watch... A

It's a well done series for sure. I hope they produce more.
