In more than sexity years was the american Howad Manoian known as the warhero from the second world war. He claimed to be a part of the parachutjumpers which often vent infront of the others, as in the landing in Normandie 1944.
Manoian was speaking very much about what he what he had done, and was very willing to show his war injuries. He is saying to have been hit by bullets from a german machinegun in the left hand and both legs, and the also beeing injured when a german airplane was shooting at the fieldhospital where he was staying.
But his stories where fake, its revealed by a american newspapper, after the 84 year old Manoian was given the legion of honor, the highest and finest award in France for bravery in battle.
Manoian where acctually serving at a military dumpsite far away from the frontline. He got his stories from Hollywood movies.
In the village of Chef-du-pont where Manoian settled down after the war in 1945, his name will be removed from the museum and the medal of honor will be retaken.
