six German soldiers rushed his position. Samuel K. Cowan recounted the event in his book, Sergeant York:
York "…selected as his first mark amongst the Germans the one farther away. He knew he would not miss the form of a man at that distance. He wanted the rear men to fall first so others would keep on coming at him and not stop in panic when they saw their companions falling, and fire a volley at him. He felt that in such a volley his only danger lay.
"They kept coming, and fell as he shot. The foremost man, and the last to topple, did not get 10 yards from where he started. Their bodies formed a line down the hillside..."33
>эта та же байка про ЮАРовца да еще со сломанным указательным пальцем который убил восемь кубинских добровольцев с АКМ в анголе подобным образом.
У ЮАРовца была 9мм испанская Астра и убил он тогда больше десятка. Действительно стрелял левой рукой - на правой был сломан палец.
