What's the greatest? Fine, I'll do it myself. In history? Canadian soldier Leo Major and

his friend Willie Arsena was scouting a Dutch town called Zvola that had been captured by Germans

but were spotted and Arsenault was brought down. Major, enraged, killed two German

soldiers while the rest fled. On the outskirts of the town, Major intercepted a vehicle disarming

and raided it himself. He killed several officers and the rest fled. By morning, Major

discovered that the Germans who had taken Zvola had entirely retreated. I should also mention

that Major was a sniper

who only had one eye from a phosphorus grenade explosion years prior, and had remained in the

military because he insisted he only needed one eye to aim his weapon, and that to him, he

He was also in the Normandy invasion on D-Day, and single-handedly captured an entire German

vehicle that contained communication equipment and codes.
