Original Title: TIL about Torsten Stålnacke - a Swede who, on 1961/09/14, during the Congo Crisis, had his jaw nearly shot off in battle. Forced to clear his windpipe of bone fragments in order to breathe, Torsten used M3-E1 to destroy an enemy APC - all the while holding his almost blown off chin in his free hand!
