ww2-highest decorated sevicesman from all countries

[damajowi]

i always thought it was audie murphy-but can hollywood be wrong?

there were others involved and without taking sides it would be interesting to know who was the highest decorated one

i already have one nomine and would be interested to know if im right

thanks

And your nominee is?

Colonel Mattt Urban had a greater number of citations. Does that constitute a greater number of awards? If so, he's the new front runner.

without doubt matt urban was highly decorated as was audie murphy but the chap i referred to was Oberst Hans-Ulrich Rudel the highest decorated of axis troops without awarding each decoration a points system and forming a league table i am sure that one award cannot be merited in a true sense against another

thanks for the link i really enjoyed the read
