Germans Shot Him — He Got Up Three Times and Charged the Gun

October 2, 1944. Inside Germany’s Siegfried Line. Private First Class Harold G. Kiner was twenty-four years old when his company was pinned down by a German MG-42 machine gun — one of the deadliest weapons of World War II. Every attempt to move forward ended in death. Medics were cut down. Entire platoons were frozen in place. If the gun wasn’t destroyed, Company E would be wiped out where they lay. Harold Kiner made the decision alone. He stood up and charged. The MG-42 cut him down. He fell. Then he stood back up. They shot him again. He fell again. And still, he rose. Mortally wounded, one arm useless, his body torn apart by machine-gun fire, Kiner staggered forward, firing and throwing grenades until the German position fell silent. Only then did he collapse for the final time. His charge broke the defense, saved his company, and cracked a section of Hitler’s vaunted Westwall. Men who survived that day knew they were alive because Harold Kiner chose to die in their place. This documentary tells the verified, eyewitness-confirmed story of one of the most extreme acts of battlefield courage in World War II — a Medal of Honor action so brutal and absolute that even the enemy acknowledged it. Kiner did not survive. But dozens of others did. Watch till the end. Some courage lasts only seconds — and changes everything.
