I don't think that he existed. Most of the information I've seen
shows that
19 people were the recipents two Congressional Medals of Honor.
The
first was the brother of General George Armstrong Custer, who is
best
known for his failure in the Indian Wars, 2nd Lieutenant Thomas
Custer
won both in the Civil War. Six double recipeints were Navy, seven
were
Marines and four were Army.

432 Medals of Honor were awarded in WWII, but long after the end

awards because during the war the US Army was segregated, and as a
result, no black Americans were awarded the MOH.

Asked in World War 2
Was there a limit of medals you could get in world war 2?
No. Winning medals for valor is a dangerous business though, and
people get killed doing it. Audie Murphy is usually recognized as
America's "most decorated" WWII soldier, and he received 33
American and foreign medals. Some say Major Matt Urban won more
than Murphy, but Urban never received the Distinguished Service
Cross (second in precedence only to the Medal of Honor), and
Urban's Medal of Honor came a long time after the war.

Technically, Audie was the most decorated soldier of WORLD WAR
II. However, the
most decorated soldier to date in all wars is General Douglas
Mac Arthur, who I believe
has 83 medals credited to him, sometimes certain medals more
than once. Then there
is another individual right under him, an American also, who has
79 medals. I am sorry but I do not remember his name. Audie was
awarded only 44 medals of which
2 were from Belgium, and 3 from France.
