Outrageous True Military Stories. Which is your favorite?

Capt Richard I P., here's my outrageous true military story, which is my favorite because I actually got to meet the man!
In late 1944 and early 1945, COL Aaron Bank, U.S. Army (of OSS/Jedburgh Team fame and Father of Special Forces), led "Operation Iron Cross," which evolved into a plan to capture or kill Adolf Hitler. The OSS actively recruited German POWs who were opposed to Hitler to form a special forces unit, outfitted with SS uniforms and highly trained in "raid and snatch" techniques. This unit was trained as parachute infantry and was intended for insertion into the expected "Alpine Redoubt" on the Austrian/German border, where senior Nazi officials were planning to make their last stand against the advancing Allied armies. Hitler was expected to flee from Berlin and retire to the Alpine Redoubt before the Soviets could enter the capital city, so General William Joseph Donovan, head of the OSS, issued this order: "Tell Bank to get Hitler."
"Iron Cross" was canceled almost on the eve of execution because intelligence showed that Hitler had remained in Berlin. (This info is extracted from a Wikipedia article.)
In June, 1993, the Special Forces Association held their annual convention in Nashville, TN. COL Bank was there as a special guest and also to promote his new book, "Knight's Cross", which was a novel he co-wrote that utilized Operation Iron Cross as the basis of the story . He was 90 years old at the time. I was fortunate enough to meet COL Bank and still have an inscribed copy of his book!

In the weeks after D-Day, American forces were fighting in the French port city of Cherbourg. LCDR Quentin Walsh, USCGR, led a 53 man assault team which battled the German garrison in house to house fighting taking 400 prisoners from the city's naval arsenal.

Then despite being badly outnumbered, Walsh made his way to FT Du Homet where he told the German commander that he was there on behalf of the Allies to accept the honorable surrender of German troops since further fighting was pointless. The German commander believing that he was surrounded and in imminent danger of being overrun surrendered 350 more troops and released more than 50 Allied paratroopers who had been captured during D-Day.

In total, Walsh's force of 53 captured more than 700 Germans, liberated more than 50 Americans, and reduced the city's inner arsenal.

For his efforts, Walsh was awarded the Navy Cross.

I just read Col Ortiz's story. That was surreal. A true boyhood adventurer...that never really stopped. Its amazing, some might say he was in the right place at the right time. ..his story is unrepeatable.
