A list of puns related to "Léo Major"
Just watch Joseph R. Beyrle's story on your Youtube channel, amazing! Another incredible WW2 story you could do is the one of Léo Major. see the wikipedia link to his bio and amazing story https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A9o_Major
Just read this random page on wikipedia about a French-Canadian soldier who arrived in Europe on D-day, captured multiple German soldiers single handedly and even liberated an entire city all by himself.
From the wikipedia page:
"During a reconnaissance mission on D-Day, Major captured a German armoured vehicle (a halftrack) by himself. The vehicle contained German communication equipment and secret codes. Days later, during his first encounter with an SS patrol, he killed four soldiers; however, one of them managed to ignite a phosphorus grenade. After the resulting explosion, Major lost one eye but continued to fight. He continued his service as a scout and a sniper by insisting he needed only one eye to sight his weapon. According to him, he "looked like a pirate"."
"Major [was] carrying two Sten guns and a sack of grenades. He arrived in the centre of Zwolle at about 0100 hours and found the streets silent and deserted. Here, he spotted a German machine-gun nest which, since the crew was sleeping, he promptly attacked and eliminated. He then found a German scout car and forced one of the Germans, who he had captured, to drive through the streets with the lights on, flying a white flag. For several hours, Major moved through the streets in this manner, shooting at any target he could find, making an impression that a large Canadian force had arrived. (...) By now the Germans appeared to have fled the city in panic. (...) Major was exhausted but he had to complete his mission by bringing back the body of his comrade, Wilfrid Arsenault, to his lines."

This guy sounds like Doomguy fighting Nazi's tbh.
Edit: Like a lot of people already pointing out: Nazi slaying Doomguy sounds a lot like Blazkovich :)
What kind of person he was?
Je veux savoir combien de mes camarades Québécois connaissent Léo Major ? Il s'agit d'un héros de guerre Québécois.
Pour ceux qui se demandent c'est qui et/ou ont un trou de mémoire : https://youtu.be/x02_1EnOa2o
Le livre de Luc Lépine, lu par Alexis Martin est disponible gratuitement sur Audible. Je ne sais pas si c'est uniquement pour les abonnés. Il fait 3h14 et ça s'écoute très bien!
Et j'ai un pincement au coeur de voir que les Canadiens récoltent toutes les fleurs de la part des Néerlandais
In the night of 13-14 April 1945 Léo Major liberated the city of Zwolle(population ~50.000 at the time) during a reconnaissance mission.
When Léo and his buddy Willie Arsenault entered the city of Zwolle in order to find artillery targets, Willie got shot and killed and this triggered Léo Major to single-handedly kill and capture a bunch of German soldiers and liberating the city of Zwolle in a single night.
The past two days Zwolle has been flying the Canadian flag in memory of our hero Léo Major (and ofcourse Willie Arsenault).
So on behalf of the citizens of Zwolle, thank you sincerely!
