>>2897071Now this alone is just fucking insane. A private single handedly capturing a heavy armour vehicle by himself is unheard of, but this is Léo Fucking Major. This Hanomag just happened to contain secret nazi codes that the Allies pretty much had no fucking way to decode.
Yeah.
But it gets better.
A few days after landing, he was having a nice stroll in a flower meadow until a full SS patrol came up and tried to grind him into sausage. But he killed four of these guys, the rest ran. But one managed to actually light phosphorus grenade and throw
it at him, taking out his left eye. Many men would insist on getting sent home after such a grave injury, but not this mother fucker. He refused the offer many times, and instead decided to wear a bad-ass eye patch and insisted that he "Only needs one
eye to sight down a rifle". He served as a scout and a sniper, and joked about is saying he "looked like a pirate". Yep, guy lost his fucking eye and makes jokes about it like it's nothing.
In 1944 during the Battle of the Scheldt, he was out on a reconnaissance mission and spotted two German soldiers. It was raining and freezing, so he said to himself in what we can only imagine one of the most bad ass voices "I am frozen and wet
because of you, and so you will pay". He captured the first German and used it as bait to capture the second. The second attempted to shoot Major, but instead, Major crushed this Germans skull in. He went on capturing Germans like this until
eventually he captured their Commanding Officer. Yeah. The remaining Germans surrendered. He came back to camp with 98 prisoners. A guy who has impaired vision managed to, alone, capture nearly 100 men in a single night.
