His story: On the morning of December 26, 1944, Sgt Mullins and the four men in his tank crew had just finished breakfast when the Germans opened fire on their position. While under heavy fire from German tanks that had crept up close, Sgt Mullins got two men who were badly wounded out of the tank and sent two others to cover. Sgt Mullins leaped back into the tank and began firing on the advancing Germans. He destroyed or disabled nearly a dozen German tanks before his own tank exploded in a huge ball of fire.
