I’m dutch, but I have never heard of him. I do know, however, that the Canadians were majorly important for the Dutch liberation.

@@Number1Irishlad No Victoria Cross is the equivalent of the Medal of Honor. Purple Heart is for getting wounded or killed in battle, no matter the reason, or the battle. You could get randomly shot and incapacitated, later get the Purple Heart. Victoria Cross is awarded for "... most conspicuous bravery, or some daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice, or extreme devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy". About the exact thing as Medal of Honor. ie. Doing something without thinking of yourself and going above the call of duty. Saving the day.. Distinguished Conduct Medal was awarded for "Gallantry in the field" ie. showing ingenuity and staying cool and prevailing when all odds against you. Leo Deserved the Victoria Cross for the Zwolle Scouting mission. But he most likely was snubbed for his French Canadian patriotism. Go look at his wiki page, it's extremely more impressing. He has a full book of memory I think out there.

He did go off on his own without orders. There is an archive in Ottawa of recordings of Canadian soldiers telling war stories in their own words.

His children had no idea of what he had done during the war until they received an invitation to go back to Zwolle by the mayor of that city. The occasion was the renaming of one of the main boulevards of the city after Leo. The people of Zwolle did not and do not forget who Leo Major was.

[@kwharrison6668]

Kind of. Zombies were French Canadians conscripted for defence of Canada. There was no conscription for overseas service in WWII due to the issues of WW1. To get around it, there was conscription but only for service in defence of Canada. That being said, by the end end of the war, about 2500 conscripts did end up going overseas, but only having volunteered to go after having already been conscripted, largely in order to ensure overseas conscription didn’t become necessary.

[@BarnDoorProductions]

Not specifically French Canadians. The term was applied equally no matter what background. It only meant someone who was conscripted rather than a volunteer. In general, those who were eventually sent to Europe fought as bravely as those who volunteered.

8:10 Actually, there's missing information: not long before, Montgomery made a catastrophic military decision killing 1000+ allied soldiers uselessly, which is why Leo judiciously perceived him as "incompetent" (many of his fellows died along British troops). It's also well known that it's rather Montgomery who had huge ego issues. In fact, if L.Major had such "ego issues", he would have accepted the medal whoever was handing it to him... On the opposite, those who knew him well said that he was quite humble and didn't like to brag about his feats, refused to talk to journalists etc. (which is one of the reasons the Canadian public didn't know about him up until recently)... But hey, you're reacting to a clip that doesn't tell the whole story in details so that's ok ;) 8:40 he actually went "awol" as he fled the hospital that wanted to send him back home, onto a jeep passing by up to a family in Holland that he met sooner, and stayed there during a month (28 days) to recover before going back to his regiment. Instead of being treated as a deserter, the commanding officer was glad that he was back for the battle to come..

To get the Victoria Cross your deeds must be witnessed by soldiers. Since Leo acts were usually done while he was alone, he could not be awarded the VC

You can rarely find videos on Canada's achievements but you find hundreds on how canada would lose against the USA in a war

[@bloodyneptune]

Please, I've seen Americans try to drive in the snow. That'd end withh our military helping their military out of all the ditches they slid themselves into.
