À propos de cet audio
This episode of “Beyond the Call: Medal of Honor Stories” tells the story of Corporal Henry F. Warner, a 21-year-old antitank gunner whose courage on a frozen Belgian hillside helped halt a German armored thrust during the Battle of the Bulge. Near the village of Dom Bütgenbach in December 1944, Warner and his 57mm antitank gun faced repeated attacks from German tanks and infantry. Wounded, under intense fire, and eventually alone at his gun, he refused to abandon his position, destroying or disabling multiple enemy tanks and helping to save his battalion’s line.
Across this episode, we walk through Warner’s life, the wider context of the Ardennes offensive, and a step-by-step breakdown of his Medal of Honor actions. You’ll hear how one junior NCO’s training, discipline, and resolve under fire shaped a critical moment in World War II, and what his story still offers modern leaders and listeners today. If you care about military history, battlefield leadership, or the human dimension of valor, this is an episode you will not want to miss.
