Jack Churchill.
Here's a link to the wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill
A british soldier in WWII who fought with nothing but a sword, bow and arrow, and a set of bagpipes.
One night, he single-handedly took forty-two German prisoners and captured a mortar crew using only his broadsword. He simply took one patrolling guard as a human shield and went around from sentry post to sentry post, sneaking up on the guards and then shoving his sword in their faces until they surrendered. His response when asked about how he was able to capture so many soldiers so easily:
"I maintain that, as long as you tell a German loudly and clearly what to do, if you are senior to him he will cry 'jawohl' (yes sir) and get on with it enthusiastically and efficiently whatever the situation."
