  • Resumen

  • In this episode of Beyond the Call: Medal of Honor Stories, we bring to life the extraordinary actions of Second Lieutenant Francis X. Burke during the final days of World War II. As American forces battled through the devastated streets of Nuremberg, Burke launched a solo assault against multiple enemy positions—killing 11 German soldiers, capturing 23, and clearing four buildings entirely on his own. His fearless initiative broke the stalemate and allowed his unit to continue its advance, all while he fought through machine-gun fire and eventually mounted a tank to protect it from attack, even after being seriously wounded.

    This narrated episode follows the full arc of Burke’s story—from the brutal historical context of urban combat in 1945 to the leadership lessons his heroism still offers today. Whether you're commuting, working out, or simply prefer listening to reading, this audio version delivers a vivid, moment-by-moment account of one of the most remarkable individual actions in the European Theater. Tune in and hear what it truly means to go beyond the call.
