Why He Laughed With a Gun to His Stomach (The Insane Case of Leonard Funk)

January 29, 1945. A Belgian farmyard. 90 armed German soldiers. And one American sergeant with a gun pressed into his stomach.
What Leonard Funk Jr. did next defied every survival instinct in history. He didn't surrender. He didn't pray. He laughed.
In this investigative documentary, we declassify the insane case of the 5’5” former store clerk who became the most decorated paratrooper of World War II. From his survival behind enemy lines in Normandy to his silent rage after the Malmedy Massacre, we explore the psychological breaking point that turned a "quiet clerk" into a relentless force of nature.
Why was this 60-second massacre erased from most history books? We dive deep into the official Medal of Honor citations and survivor testimonies to explain how Funk’s uncontrollable laughter became a tactical weapon that led to the death of 21 Germans in less than a minute.
