I would really like to see him as a special character in the future 🇬🇧

I would really like to see John ‘Mad Jack’ Churchill as a playable character within a future Halloween/zombies event.


He was a British Army officer who fought through the Second World War armed with a longbow, arrows and a basket-hilted Scottish broadsword.

He also holds the last recorded kill with a bow and arrow while in action.

Good idea! We should also get an italian hero soldier. I vote for Rosario Randazzo. His arm was blown up by russian mortar strike but he still kept his position shooting his machinegun with his teeth until he was shot dead.

Breda Mod.37

it has a little lever that you have to push to shoot and you can also do it with your teeth destroying your mouth in the recoil but when your arms are gone you have more lead than blood inside and you are alone it is likely your teeth flying out are the least of your problems

Well yes the question is the recoil and being able to keep your mouth on the trigger, but I guess unusual things happen (or get reported) in a war.

Like double amputee pilot

you have no idea how many crazy Italians have started doing crazy things beyond human capabilities XD

like Enrico Toti in WW1 who only had one leg (and the military part is only a part of this man’s story)

Ferruccio Brandi
at the time a paratrooper lieutenant who, having seen half his jaw torn off by a machine gun shot in the face during the Battle of El Alamein, precisely in Deir-El-Munassib (as reported in the motivation for his gold medal), while throwing a Molotov cocktail at a tank
took a simple handkerchief, rudely replaced his shattered jaw and, continuing to lead his men to attack the English

Angelo’s world drawing is mandatory

Aurelio Zamboni
machine gunner, during an enemy attack and under violent artillery fire, although seriously wounded in the head by a bullet, did not abandon the weapon and refusing any treatment continued undaunted to shoot. Wounded a second time by a grenade that tore open his leg and abdomen, with admirable stoicism he had his arm amputated on the spot and with makeshift means, almost severed. Seeing his comrades counter the enemy by throwing hand grenades, in a supreme effort he picked up the amputated limb and threw it at the enemy, shouting:
I have no more bombs, but here is my flesh and may it cause you harm”.
He died shortly after from blood loss.
