In this episode, we follow Murphy\u2019s extraordinary rise during World War II\u2014from a slight, overlooked recruit to a battlefield legend who single-handedly held off an entire German force in a burning tank destroyer. His bravery would earn him the Medal of Honor and make him a national hero. But this is not just a story of heroism\u2014it\u2019s a story of its cost. Behind the headlines and Hollywood fame, Murphy carried the invisible wounds of war, struggling with what we now recognize as post-traumatic stress. &amp;nbsp; SUPPORT THE SHOW:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/c\/HistoryShortsPodcast ADVERTISE:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.historyshortspodcast.com\/advertise&amp;nbsp; LEARN MORE:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.historyshortspodcast.com\/ SPONSORED BY:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.podcastrepublic.net\/get-it-now&amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"History Shorts","author_url":"https:\/\/www.historyshortspodcast.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/40673095\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/200277170"}
