Incredible guy, for sure.
He marched back to camp with nearly a hundred prisoners. Thus, he was chosen to receive a DCM. He declined the invitation to be decorated, however, because according to him General Montgomery (who was giving the award) was "incompetent" and in no position to be giving out medals.
No wonder he was only a corporal during Korea.
This guy performed the greatest feat of Tommy Gunnery in history. He had one armed man with him (who was killed in the first fusillade), the Germans had 100 and four US prisoners (everybody but Funk were clerks). A German had a pistol in his face, and this guy unslung his Thompson and, in company with the four prisoners grabbing German weapons to fight back, killed 21 Germans and wounded 24 in under a minute.
At that rate, he could wipe out an entire division in four hours.
