Leo Major: Why Send an Army When One Canadian Will Do?

Some soldiers fight wars. Leo Major won them—single-handedly—while rocking a Canadian flag. This one-eyed, French-Canadian unstoppable force of nature took on the Nazis solo, liberated an entire Dutch city by himself, and casually shrugged off wounds that would’ve ended lesser men. Whether it was sneaking through occupied territory like a moose in stealth mode, capturing dozens of enemy soldiers alone, or just deciding that war wasn’t over until he said so, Leo Major was a walking Canadian legend. And just in case WWII wasn’t enough, he came back for another war just to flex on history one more time. Strap as Ben and producer Andrew discuss Canada’s hardest-hitting, war-winning, maple syrup-fueled madman.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
