![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/Speirs_3.jpg) "Speirs successfully took over the assault and led Easy Company to victory. During this battle, Lt. Dike had ordered a platoon to go on a flanking mission around the rear of the town. To countermand this order, Speirs himself ran through the town and German lines (as this platoon had no radio), linked up with the other soldiers, and relayed the order. Having completed this, he proceeded to run back through the German-occupied town." "he single-handedly captured the fourth 105 mm Howitzer." | ||

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Götz_von_Berlichingen He was a german mercenary about 500 years ago. Besides his numerous exploits involving him taking revenge on employers who stabbed him in the back, he also was a leader of a peasant rebellion that he straight up abandoned when it started becoming a lawless, angry mob, something he refused to be a part of. But what really gets me about this guy is what he did after being shot by a cannon, forcing his sword back and causing him to hack off his own arm. He made a new limb. ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8d/G%C3%B6tz-eiserne-hand1.jpg/220px-G%C3%B6tz-eiserne-hand1.jpg) That is a metal, mechanical arm. Made five centuries ago. It was so ahead of its time, he was even able to use it to write with. Of course, this also meant that it could hold a weapon, and punch people. Which is something he did do a lot of. Oh, and Goethe wrote a play about him. In it, he actually invents the phrase "Kiss my ass". Okay, that one is really more Goethe, but still. Bad ass. EDIT: For the guy that posted about the character Gutts from Berserk, this is the actual human being he was based off of. | ||

I believe he tortured and killed german prisoners of war. Now while I do agree that he is a great warrior because without leaders like him I'd probably be typing german right now, I also can't help but disagree with his methods. P.S. the sikhs where f-ing amazing. and they wheren't some elitist club of highly trained warriors, they where a whole people / religion / thingy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikh | ||

Historically, the Gaesatae were Gallic naked religious fanatics. Their skill was a source of terror, and their frightful appearance shook many. Most horrifying, even beyond their size and skill and terrifying cries, was their seeming invincibility. A chemical they used allowed them to brush off and ignore any pain. They were remarked to do things such as rip javelins that had struck them free from their bodies, and hurl them back, and continue to fight with gashes and wounds that would have surely fell a normal man. They were Hannibal's favored Gallic mercenaries, and were used as his personal guards, as they were so devoted and trustworthy, as well as brave and skilled. Not posting a pic, thank you very much.  Funny that apparently Hannibal's personal gards were stark naked... description copy-pasted from http://www.europabarbarorum.com/factions_arverni_units.html yeah it's video game stuff, but like i said, that's a mod that was insistent on doing research on absolutely everything they were doing. quite a job they did, overall. | ||

The film 300 is terrible inaccurate though, that much you got right. | ||
