There’s a lot of factors and a lot of sacrifice that goes into the makes of a War Hero. War heroes, like Paul Revere, are well known. However, there are also war heroes that a lot of people have never heard of. Unheralded as they maybe, they are worthy of commendation for very few people are willing to endure what these 25 war heroes you probably never heard of have endured.

Verdun not verdoon
Billy bishop served in world war 1 not 2 that's just basic research mate
If billy bishop had served in world war 2 he would have been 52 in 1945
they forgot doctor Edward "weary" dunlop who saved the of dozens of POWs held by the Japanese in ww2
No Otto Skörnzey? Come on man don't be biased in choosing the heroes
I would add admiral Barbarossa. Hollywood wants us to believe he's a pirate. But in reality he saved 1000s of Jews, Muslims, & others from the dungeons of the Spanish inquisition.
Maha Vir Chakra is the second highest gallantry award in India . how can it be equal to a purple heart.
… The Red Baron is well known..
Werner Voss? Erich Hartmann?
Eugene Bullard was not Afrcan-American, he was French and not the first black person to be plot but a close second after Ahmet Ali Çelikten who served in Ottoman Army
Witold Pilecki should definitely be on the list…
Laura Secord overheard US military plans while working as a maid for an American General. Being born in upper Canada she wanted to warn the Canadian militia. She hiked for 3 days to warn general Brock of the impending attack in the war of 1812. Because of her the Canadian Militia was able to mount a defence, and ultimately win the war
A few of these names are famous? of course we have heard of them????
The horse was the best hero on the list ;-}
Seriously dude, work on the annunciation. The last video you said "sage" instead of "siege." Where is the other guy? How about Pat Tillman? Gives up a multi million dollar NFL contract to go into the army and become a ranger. He ends up getting killed by friendly fire.
The true history not taught in school for what ever reason
You either need to educate yourself or you're a complete liar, Bishop second only to the Red Baron! I don't think so, Erich Hartman had 352 kills in WWII and the list of German pilots with over 100 kills during WWII is pages long including my relative Hienz Marquardt with 121 kills and shot down 8 times!
You and other amateurs like yourself do all these men a GREAT disservice by posting videos with NO basis in fact!
You should do the honorable thing and remove this video and check your facts before you do another or would you rather people just believe in your rhetoric and lies!
Anything short of this action would lead me to believe that you are callous and despicable!
Epic Heroes
Great info, but your pronunciation is atrocious. You really need to look up how to properly pronounce the words you use. It sort of kills your credibility. I'm not trying to be rude but give you some constructive criticism. Keep up the good work but step up your pronunciation game a little and you got it!
I recommend you check out Milo Huempfner from WW2. A real unsung hero like these guys.
Correction: Billy Bishop was third to the Red Baron with the most kills for he had 72 kills. Rene Paul Fronck was second to the Red Baron with 75 kills
Correction: So you're gonna put the pigeon, White Noise that saved 11 lives, but not put the messenger pigeon, Cher Ami that saved over 100 lives?!
Correction: Pvt. Henry Lincoln Johnson of the 369th U.S infantry regiment known as the Harlem Hellfighters isn't on this list?!
Pretty dubious scholarship
Did you actually say, "'Rivered' as a Saint"?
Anibal Milhais?
seriously learn how to pronounce shit
The Red Baron when he got shot down the allies buried him with honors
Billy Sing sniper 1st world War fighters in the middle East & Asia have Billy Sings named painted on their walls
Actually reckless was a staff sergeant which I believe was honorary
You forgot the person (who's name I forgot) who didn't let the Soviet submarine fire a nuclear missile. He saved the world. Or what about the Cobras Fumantes? Who killed 52/100 Germans with bullets then when they ran out of ammo they attached bayonetes to their guns and charged in.
I guess YOU have never heard of a Kiwi (NZ) guy who got TWO Victoria Crosses as a combatant, Charles Upham. You clearly included non-Americans in your list so why not some REAL heroes? FFS, the guy was awarded what is the equivalent of a Congressional Medal of Honor TWICE!
I salute you sir Vicente Lim, our Filipino unheard Hero!
Please learn how to pronounce!
Michael Murphy is in that Hollywood movie. Everyone knows him
Thank You For Adding My Great Grandmother To The Program
VERY MUCH Appreciated…
Thank You Again.
I'm surprised Gander the dog hasn't made it into this list.
What about USMC aviator Major Greg "Pappy" Boyington, WW II fighter pilot ace? And commander of the Black Sheep Squaddron.
Long live gen vicente lim long life our country philippines
Leo Major
Ira Hayes is the saddest story I can think of.
You forgot Eddie Albert. Saved 47 Marines at the battle of Tarawa
