Germans Shot Him 5 Times — He Played Dead, Then Killed 6 of Them in 4 Seconds

Discover why a soldier bleeding from five separate bullet wounds, lying immobilized in an open field north of Speyer, Germany, and dismissed as a corpse by the eight Wehrmacht soldiers standing over him... ...executed a lethal close-quarters ambush that not only eliminated the immediate threat but yielded the critical intelligence required to capture the city with minimal American casualties the following day. Explore the tactical scenario of March 23, 1945, where Staff Sergeant Edward Allen Carter Jr., a veteran of the Chinese Nationalist Army and the Spanish Civil War's Abraham Lincoln Brigade, utilized his linguistic fluency and combat experience to survive a catastrophic engagement. This analysis reconstructs the firefight involving the 12th Armored Division, beginning with a Panzerschreck strike on a lead M4 Sherman tank and subsequent suppression from MG42 positions firing at 1,200 rounds per minute. Learn about the specific medical improvisation involving sulfa powder and shallow breathing techniques that allowed Carter to remain undetected until he neutralized six hostile combatants and captured two prisoners using a Thompson M1A1 and a Colt M1911A1. The narrative details the interrogation of the captured German soldiers, which revealed the precise coordinates of PaK 40 75mm anti-tank guns and a command bunker, allowing American artillery to neutralize the sector. Furthermore, the video examines the administrative history behind Carter's service, including his voluntary demotion from Staff Sergeant to Private to bypass segregation policies, the FBI's classification of him as a "Premature Anti-Fascist," and the 1997 Army review that finally upgraded his Distinguished Service Cross to the Medal of Honor more than three decades. This account reveals how tactical brilliance and individual lethality can override catastrophic physical trauma, even when the soldier in question faces systemic institutional barriers. Perfect for military historians, students of the European Theater of Operations, and anyone researching the contributions of African American soldiers in World War II.
