Lieut. Colonel Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.

Week of Oct. 4, 1944
Lieut. Colonel Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., 42, a retired Senator, captures a four-man Nazi patrol by himself. Lodge "had spotted the Germans a long way off," a soldier told TIME. "When we got close to them, Colonel Lodge pulled out a pistol, leaped out of the jeep, and the prisoners threw their hands in the air."
