I'd also call him a hero.
Sure, he may not have played a major part in the destruction of the Bismarck, and he may not have done some particularly notable deed that got him plastered with medals. But at the end of the day, he was a regular guy who went out and stood up to the greatest tyranny the world has ever known. He put his life on the line to try to save his fellow countrymen from also falling under that tyranny, and he very nearly paid the ultimate price for that. That, to me, is what makes a person a hero.
