“I find that one a little hard to believe.”
I’m not. Not even a little. A skilled bladesman in close quarters is a nightmare for opponents. Even better than a 12 guage. I know a few who could take out several people in a couple seconds. Trained with them, in fact, although I never got close to their level.
These guys? They grow up learning bladed combat. And they’re TOUGH. (Had a Vietnam Vet buddy serve with a few. He was HARD, and they impressed him.)
I was just referring to the story about the Germans head falling off after he told the Gurkah “you missed”. The main story, I believe.
