Were there ever really any ONE MAN ARMY soldiers?

Were there ever really any ONE MAN ARMY soldiers? I mean is there any historical evidence of a single or maybe even a pair of soldiers dropped behind enemy lines to do some major military operating? In any country and/or military.

    During the 15 or 1600s apperently there was a dude who used a crude, early breathing apparatus to drill holes and set fire to a turkish fleet because they kidnapped his fiancee.
    Can't tell you more. When I was a kid I had a big fat Reader's Digest book about the Oceans and this story was included.

    Doppelsöldner were mercenaries in Germany in the 1500's that got paid double to fight exclusively on the front lines and in risky situations
    A lot of them used giant zweihanders that could keep back multiple adversaries due to the reach

      They were part of pike formations though, and just a specialized position part of a larger team meant to break enemy pike formations. They were the German equivalent of Rodaleros in Spanish pike formations. I mention this as Germans and Spaniards both fought under the same emperor during this time period and utilized somewhat similar tactics.
      Neither were really "one man army", and both fell before the French armored calvary.

    My high school was named after a guy who took out like five dozen chinks in Korea with a machine gun while covering a retreat and then took out ten more with a bayonet when he ran out of ammo.

        It was Miyamura High School. It's named after Hershey Miyamura, this nice little old Japanese guy who you'd occasionally see around town and never suspect that he has killed more chinks than poorly built escalators have.

    Force 136 and Jedburgh teams. They often found themselves operating in 2s or even alone behind the front line and deep in enemy-occupied territory, although their jobs was mainly to link up with and organise local partisan resistance.

    F Spencer Chapman for one led a 3-man team shooting up Japs in the immediate months following the invasion of Malaya. After that they split up and he became somewhat dependent on Chinese guerillas, but the point is they were alone or in pairs most of the time.

    > Severloh says he manned a MG 42 machine gun,[12] and fired on approaching American troops with the machine gun and two Karabiner 98k rifles; while a sergeant whom he did not know, kept him supplied with ammunition from a nearby ammo bunker until 15:30. He claimed to have fired over 13,500 rounds with the machine gun and 400 with the rifles.
    >Interviewed in 2004, he said: "It was definitely at least 1,000 men, most likely more than 2,000. But I do not know how many men I shot. It was awful. Thinking about it makes me want to throw up

    Achilles is the archetype, of course.

    But I'd say the historical Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo both qualify - "mentioned in dispatches" by J Caesar, each sallied forth from an quasi-invested fort like an old school wrestling superstar and started dropping Gauls to the cheers of the men in camp.
    Vorenus saved Pullo when the Gauls started to get the better of him.

        It was funny they actually took out the scene from Gladiator where they had the main character shilling products after he became famed in the arena, because they thought audiences would have considered it too unbelievable.

      >Crushed two mens skulls together
      The plausibility of Simo Hayha's kill count has been talked about over the years, but how many other of these stories are complete bullshit but still get repeated over the years? I'm honestly starting to think a large portion if not most are either stories made up by the guy who supposedly accomplished them, or recruitment propaganda.

    You've had single soldiers who have managed to overcome incredible odds on their lonesome.

    But if one or two dudes are being dropped behind enemy lines to do operating isn't that more of an intelligence thing?

    A coupl eof years ago there was that gurkha soldier in India who singlehandledly beat off several dozen robbers who had stormed the train and were assaulting the passengers. Killed two or three with his kukhri, wounded a bunch of others and drove them out of the train.
