23. Mayhem
Marcelino Serna crawled until he reached an advantageous position within grenade lobbing range of the enemy. He then went into action, tossing three grenades into the packed German trench. Serna then opened fire with his rifle and pistol on the stunned survivors. Moving to a new position after every few shots, Serna tricked the Germans into believing that there were plenty more American soldiers all around them, not just Serna alone.
Within minutes, 26 Germans were dead, and another 24 surrendered. Serna remained on the front after his greatest feat of heroism, fighting alongside his comrades, until he was wounded 4 days before the war ended.
