Re: Сколько американцев...
>Сколько американцев и британцев повторили подвиг Матросова? Закрыли ДОТ своими телами или подорвали вместе с собой?
Точной статистики не попадалось, но в представлениях к Медали Почета частенько встречаются фразы типа "спасая товарищей, накрыл своем телом гранату и.т.д.
Например:

BAUSELL, LEWIS KENNETH Corporal, U.S. Marine Corps
Cpl. Bausell led the charge forward against a hostile pillbox which was covering a vital sector of the beach and, as the first to reach the emplacement, immediately started firing his automatic into the aperture while the remainder of his men closed in on the enemy. Swift to act, as a Japanese grenade was hurled into their midst, Cpl. Bausell threw himself on the deadly weapon, taking the full blast of the explosion and sacrificing his own life to save his men.
