How does someone receive "hundreds of medals"?
Or perhaps none of this happened. Overstreet filed no claim for the Eiffel Tower "kill", and there's no after action report by him describing this occurence in "Spring 1944". His accounts of action grew as he aged, and almost all of his claims are unsubstantiated.
No photographs, no mentions in books, no wingman, no corroborating stories that I can find.
