Battle Of Zwolle
Storyboard Text
- October, 1944 - Léo Major, a Québécois serving with the Régiment de la Chaudière, has been sent out to locate 50 "zombies" that had gone missing on patrol, the term "zombie" referring to inexperienced and unenthusiastic conscripts in the war. Léo had previously damaged his left eye in a firefight with an Elite Waffen SS patrol earlier in June, but refused to be sent back home, as he stated he only needed one good eye to shoot a rifle. Drenched in rain, he mutters to himself: "I am frozen and wet because of you, so you will pay."
- October, 1944 - Instead of finding the "zombies" he was ordered to locate, he instead encountered a garrison of regular German troops. Léo pointed his STEN gun at the commanding officer, snoring in his sleep, and motioned him to order his men to follow Léo.
- October, 1944 - Léo then singlehandedly marched 93 German soldiers back to allied lines, albeit taking fire by Waffen SS Troops on the way, killing and injuring a number of Léo's prisoners. Léo was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for his astounding feat, but declined it, stating that the British officer, General Montgomery, was incompetent and that he was in no position to give out the medal.
- April 13, 1945 - Léo Major, along with Corporal Willy Arsenault, whom he had personally known, were sent out to scout out the large Dutch town of Zwolle, which was to be bombarded by morning. On their way, German soldiers shot at Willy, killing him with machine gun fire. Léo retaliated, shooting back and taking out two of the soldiers before the others fled.
- April 13-14, 1945 - Enraged at the death of his close friend, Léo Major, whom would later be nicknamed "the Québécois Rambo" would then go on a one-man rampage to liberate Zwolle from it's German occupants, successfully liberating the town of German occupation by 4:30 AM, not only completing his mission, but also preventing the planned artillery strike and saving civilian lives in the process.
- April 14, 1945 - Léo Major was once again awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal, and this time, he accepted. Léo would then see to the end of World War 2 in the European Theatre, and would later serve in the Korean War, earning him yet another Distinguished Conduct Medal for recapturing and holding a strategic hill against the Communist Chinese, distinguishing himself as a hero of the Québécois.
