Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside

In December of 1944 near the end of World War II, Germany launched a ferocious counteroffensive against American troops in the dense woods of the Ardennes Forest ... the resulting struggle came to be known as the Battle of the Bulge.

Amidst reports that English-speaking German troops were disguising themselves as Americans behind the Allied lines, American GIs developed a unique and quick way of identifying themselves to each other.

"Blanchard" one weary soldier would call.

The accurate and relieved response?

"Davis."

Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside. Felix "Doc" Blanchard and Glenn "Mr. Outside" Davis of Army. Those two won back-to-back Heisman Awards in 1945 (Blanchard) and 1946 (Davis) and led the Cadets to national championships in 1944 and 1945.
