The final battle was likely based on the action for which US soldier and later actor Audie Murphy earned hisMedal of Honor in WW 2. Murphy and his platoon beat off several attacks by a much larger formation of German tanks and infantry. Toward the end of the action, Murphy acting virtually alone repulsed the final German assaults using the 50 caliber machine gun on a US Tank Destroyer that had otherwise been knocked out earlier in the action.
