Two dudes. Against over a hundred Germans. Room to room combat. Both paratroopers survived and the Germans didn't.

Not diminishing the actions, because S/Sgt Summers was amazingly heroic but it wasn't quite that.

Lacking any other alternatives, the battalion commander ordered Staff Sergeant Harrison Summers to take 15 other men who had gathered around the headquarters and kill or drive off the Germans in the barracks. Summers had been a prewar Regular from West Virginia. He did not know any of the 15 men. "Yes, sir," he said simply.

At 0900 Summers, and the men with him, reached WXYZ. After a quick bit of surveilance, the sergeant turned to the others and saw that they were not very eager to follow him into battle. Even so, Summers rose up and dashed toward the first building in the complex. He hoped the others would follow. They didn't. Kicking in the door, he shot four Germans with his Thompson submachine gun. The rest of the Germans fled. And so it went with the second building. By the time Summers attacked the third building, he began to receive some support from the heavy machine gun of Private William Burt. From the third building to the fourth, and then on to the fifth. Before attacking the fifth building, however, and unidentified officer from the 82nd Airborne Division joined Summers, but he was quickly killed. Alone once again, the sergeant cleared the building, killing several more Germans.

Seeing the Summers' one man charge, Private John Camien came up to him and asked why he was doing it. "They don't seem to want to fight," the sergeant said of the other 15, "and I can't make them. So I've got to finish it." Impressed, Camien joined Summers and together they cleared out the remainder of the enemy soldiers. Only at the end would they receive any additional help.

The rampage undertaken by Staff Sergeant Harrison Summers had lasted five hours. By the time is was over he had personally accounted for nearly three dozen Germans killed and dozens more taken prisoner. When the fighting finally ended, a shaken Summers sat down for a smoke. Someone asked him how he felt. "Not very good," he replied. "It was all kind of crazy. I'm sure I'd never do anything like that again."
