He literally stoped a whole turkish battalion supported by a tank platoon alone. When all ammo was gone he pulled back and the other day managed to rejoin his outfit. He also depleted about 1000 rounds from an abandoned. There, he became friends with Harper Lee (author of To Kill a Mockingbird ), and their friendship lasted for the remainder of Capote’s life. Born in New Orleans to a teenage mother, Capote was sent at a very young age to live with his aunts and cousins in Monroeville, Alabama. He kept engaging the tanks & he destroyed the last one at the astonishing range of 750m/765 yards!!! The last 2 rounds he fired at a building where the infantry had taken cover and set it on fire. Truman Capote’s life was one of dizzying highs and devastating lows. He was born Truman Streckfus Persons, and he spent his childhood with elderly relatives in the American South. He knocks out the first tank at a range of 300 metres/328 yards and the second at 270m/295 yards. Novelist, playwright and short-story writer, Truman Capote, best known for his novella Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the true crime novel In Cold Blood, was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on September 30, 1924. He spoted 6 Turkish Μ -48Α 2 approaching slowly but steadily.
Bikakis on the other hand, although left alone, returned to his post & engaged the Turks. In fact, Bikhanakis believed his friend dead, he left his post & returned to his outfit, where he reported Bikakis as MIA. 15, 1959, when two drifters, Dick Hickock and Perry Smith, broke. The constant bombardment of mortar shelling (4.2" mortars) by the Turks was so defeaning, the bursts of shellfire all around them was so intense, that the two friends were lost. But Capote wasnt a character in that stark documentary-style dramatization of events before, during and after the night of Nov. Bikakis' only weapon was a M-67 90mm Recoiless Rifle with 8 rounds. During the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, in July 1974, Cretan Commando Georgios Bikakis with his fellow countryman & pair Bikhanakis (in the field, the special forces detachments or teams, break down into pairs of specialists in weapons), were ordered to defend the area nearest to a hill called Anonymous against an overwhelming Turkish force in the outskirts of Nicosia.
