Whilst Pinned down on a hill by heavy machine fire from above, the Americans received the order to charge, but consumed by fear, no one advanced.
Except for one man. Private Barney Hajiro, who looked to his men and realised that if they didn’t move quickly they would all die on the hill.
Hajiro then stood up and gallantly led the Japanese American regiment through darkened forests, heavy rains, and entrenched Nazis to reach a lost US battalion in the Vosges Mountains.
Uncover the incredible story of Barney Hajiro in brand a new epsiodes of Hitler's Last Stand, Mondays at 8pm, only on National Geographic UK.
