    Leo Major. The Québécois ‘Rambo’. This man's incredible action saved a Dutch town from almost certain destruction. After the loss of his close friend, in an incredibly brave action Major liberated an entire town single handedly, convincing the Germans they were surrounded. The town was sched-uled to receive heavy artillery fire, but because of Leo Major's deeds the town was spared and liber-ated with little resistance.

      "Too nice to kill us" that’s a good joke, right there, comrade Stalin. There is a reason why German commander started shutting in their pants once they learned they were facing Canadian troops. Here’s an example: it only took us 3 to 4 days to take back the Vimy ridge in WW1 while the allied were trying to take it back for months if not years. Another one is we basically OWNED the term Shocktrooper back in WW1 and we had a policy of "No prisoner" even if you were wounded. And in WW2, while we attacked the second most well defended beach in Normandy, Juno Beach, we got the most in-land out of all attacking country. Here’s another thing: CANADA NEVER LOST A WAR.

      Leo Major en zijn beste vriend Willy Arsenault meldden zich en gingen in de schemering op pad. De eerste Duitsers die ze tegenkwamen doodden ze, maar toen ze bij een spoorwegovergang opnieuw op de vijand stuitten, werd Arsenault dodelijk geraakt.
      Major zette de verkenning alleen voort, maar kwam geen Duitsers meer tegen. Zij verlieten die nacht de stad en trokken zich terug op de Veluwe. Tijdens hun terugtocht vernielden de Duitsers de IJsselbruggen, net als het Nederlandse leger in 1940 had gedaan. Ook namen ze veel materieel en vee mee. Major liep door de uitgestorven straten en legde contact met de ondergrondse. Daarna keerde hij terug naar zijn regiment, waar hij om 9 uur meldde dat de vijand de stad had verlaten. Hierop trokken de Canadezen op 14 april via de wijken Assendorp en Wipstrik de stad binnen.“

      After he had recovered from a second injury, which he had sustained near Nijmegen, he rejoined his regiment at the beginning of April, which was now near Zwolle. Since the Canadians expected strong resistance due to Zwolle's strategic location, they asked two scouts to take a closer look at the city. Leo Major and his best friend Willy Arsenault reported and set out at dusk. They killed the first Germans they encountered, but when they encountered the enemy again at a railway crossing, Arsenault was fatally shot.
      Major continued the reconnaissance alone, but encountered no more Germans. They left the city that night and withdrew to the Veluwe. During their retreat, the Germans destroyed the IJssel bridges, just as the Dutch army had done in 1940. They also took a lot of equipment and livestock with them. Major walked through the deserted streets and made contact with the underground. He then returned to his regiment, where at 9 a.m. he reported that the enemy had left the city. The Canadians then entered the city on 14 April via the Assendorp and Wipstrik districts.“

      There was a Canadian officer in charge of a combined arms unit as part of the "peacekeeping" force in the former Yugoslavia. His unit came under Serbian mortar fire from the surrounding hills. The officer rallied his tank unit, charged the enemy positions, and captured or destroyed all of the Serbian mortar emplacements.
      Of course, this was not WWII, this was in the modern age of globalist pussy UN kumbaya, so instead of getting a medal he was relieved of his command and shipped back to Canada.

    A good rendition of the story! A very accurate one, because this is usually exaggerated quite a lot. I mean its hugely impressive anyway so I dont see the point of not telling it accurately.
    Shame he wasnt a fan of Monty though. I suppose that's one of those subjective things that people will always argue about. Personally I love Montgomery. He worked hard to keep the men under his command safe. People always bring up Market Garden because they've seen the movie and think they know the history, when he wasnt even in command of the thing.

      @@AtheAetheling I’m also a huge fan of Monty. My favourite general of WW2 is Slim but Monty is a close second. Monty was given a difficult job yet he always succeeded.
      Monty often had to fight the enemy in places where it was difficult to flank around such as Normandy or Italy and then there was the deserts of North Africa which was a logistical nightmare. And unlike the Americans and soviets who had literally unlimited men. Monty did not have that luxury since the British empire was fighting all over the world.
      Finally in terms of market garden it might not have been so bad had the American 82nd Airborne captured Nijmegen bridge in time then the Paras at Arnhem most probably could’ve been saved. But as per usual the blame is thrown at Monty when for Market garden in my opinion the blame lies with General Gavin of the 82nd.

The commander asked for two volunteers for a reconnaissance mission to map the German presence before shelling the city with artillery . Major and his best friend Welly Arsenault signed up for the mission.
      They went on foot to Zwolle on the Heinoseweg. On the way they knocked on the door of the Van Gerner family farm, where they asked for directions.
      Around midnight, Arsenault was killed by German fire at the railway crossing at Zalné , probably because he had given away their position with a sound. Major decided to continue his mission alone towards Zwolle train station.
      His reconnaissance made it clear that the Germans had left Zwolle. Due to his report to his superiors, the Allied artillery shelling was canceled.
      Major took Arsenault's body to Van Gerner's farm, where reinforcements from his regiment later retrieved it.“
