The One-Eyed Canadian Soldier Who Liberated an Entire City by Himself (Léo Major)

April 13, 1945, 11:20 at night. The outskirts of Zwolle, Netherlands. A one-eyed Canadian soldier named Léo Major crouched in the darkness at the edge of the city. His partner, Willy Arseneault, knelt beside him. Both men were breathing hard. Their breath made little clouds in the cold night air. Major reached up and pulled down his black eye patch. He adjusted it over his left eye, the one that didn't work anymore. A German grenade had taken that eye almost a year ago on D-Day. The doctors had wanted to send him home. Major had refused. He told them one eye was enough to aim a rifle. Tonight, he would need to aim very carefully. Some of the sources I used to create this video: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ca...
