TO HELL AND BACK AUDIE MURPHY US MOST DECORATED WAR HERO WWII

booksonwaraustralia.com/dvd-on...
This DVD is a classic war movie Starring himself Audie Murphy US most decorated soldier in US History. A 102 mins duration. Region 4 Australian Remastered 1983 Format 16:9 aspect DVD .
The remarkable World War II hero Audie L. Murphy (1924-1971), the most decorated soldier in American history, portrays himself in this 1955 action classic based on his 1949 autobiography.
With Murphy re-creating his own actions and movements in key battles, this devastating chronicle of war follows Murphy and his mates from North Africa to Berlin, with the war hero performing Herculean deeds on the battlefield.
Audie's likability and breathtaking heroics, played out through highly authentic battle scenes, made To Hell and Back the highest grossing film at Universal until "Jaws" twenty years later. It was also a huge hit when released in Australia cinemas, and the biggest opening in the history of Sydney's Capitol Theatre. In the great tradition of All Quiet on the Western Front, this is epic war action at its finest.
Said to be the greatest war movie ever made mainly attributed to the fact that the real hero portrays himself in the movie about him - quite unique.
In real life, Murphy was credited with destroying six tanks in addition to killing over 240 German soldiers and wounding and capturing many others. His principal U.S. decorations included the Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, two Silver Stars, the Legion of Merit, two Bronze Stars with Valor device, and three Purple Hearts. Murphy participated in campaigns in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France and Germany, as denoted by his European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with one silver battle star (denoting five campaigns), four bronze battle stars, plus a bronze arrowhead representing his two amphibious assault landings at Sicily and southern France. During the French Campaign, Murphy was awarded two Presidential Citations, one from the 3rd Inf, Division, and one from the 15th Inf. Regiment during the Holtzwihr action.

    During an interview in 1951 Lt. Murphy said that one of his old platoon buddies ask him why he didn't tell people about some of the truly over the top stuff that he did on the battlefield and Murphy replied "Who would have believed it." I was an Infantryman for seven years and I can't think of two greater Soldiers then Sgt. Alvin York and Lt. Audie Murphy. They were both brave men who lived in an ironic world where Peace can only be achieved through War!

    AUDIE LEON MURPHY....... Today I remember the birthday of this great little giant of a man, who made huge difference in the lives of many across the globe..... This real humble gentleman, real life hero, true patriot to his country.... This WWll soldier who stood alone upon the burning US Tank Destroyer firing at the Germans with over head fire coming in on his own position but even when he was wounded he still held his position until he ran out of ammunition then slid down and limped back to his men to their safe position.... After being told about this exceptional young man and his heroic deeds of bravery at the tender age of 16 to just past his 19th birthday being honourable discharged from the Army I have continued to honour this awesome man who is the greatest of them all.... Audie hated having to hurt or kill anyone, he always did his duty as a soldier ( came through he ranks and was only eighteen years old ) only just wanted to keep his men safe.... Sadly Audie passed 48 years ago and I still feel his loss today..... REST IN ETERNAL PEACE AUDIE MURPHY.... YOU ARE REMEMBERED, MISSED AND LOVED STILL.

After the war he had the opportunity to go to west point, and hollywood sought him. He made his mark in the motion picture industry. Many people don't know what he did in the war and to see the movie to hell and back some may think this is just some made up hollywood movie but it is not, it happened.

    One of my favorite movies. One of my favorite actors. And one of my heroes. I remember watching this movie as a youngster and thinking I wanted to be like him. I actually ended up joining the Army, influenced by Audie Murphy and John Wayne. Ended up stationed just down the hill from 3rd ID headquarters Leighton Barracks Wurzberg Germany Rock of the Marne Fallenberg Kasern 2nd COSCOM 85th Maintenance Battalion 493rd S&S co. 1989-1991. I used to visit Leighton Barracks on the weekends and was always in awe that I was walking down the same streets, hallways etc that Audie Murphy would have. R.I.P. sir.

    I retired from the US Army and I did see some american soldiers as heroes. These heroes save other soldiers thanks to their valor and courage and strength and their inner desire to save other americans. I never saw anything not even close to what Audie Murphy was.. Audie Murphy was great actor but he was also the greatest military hero. During the 2nd WWA he demonstrated courage and valor against the enemy. To this day he still is the most decorated soldier of all times. He earned the Medal of Honor and so many other awards he got every award the military had. He saved many american soldiers, he is just the greatest american hero. Audie Murphy has my total respect and admiration. God bless Audie Murphy and GOD BLESS AMERICA the land of the free thanks to people like Audie Murphy. In todays society we have to many young people that trully believe that they deserve all the benefits in life such money, posesions and every luxury without earning them first.
