By the way, given how John Wick is played by the Canadian actor, Keanu Reeves, you're closer than you probably thought when you said John Wick & the Nazis.

Very interesting video, Rory. It's good to learn something new, I've seen many documentaries about WW2, but I didn't know about this story. Very admirable, thanks for reacting to this type of videos, they're very interesting👌👍🤔

after the war he goes back to his job as a pipe fitter, what a champ. Now you need to watch the vid about the crew of the HMCS Oakville and boarding a U-boat

A Victoria Cross is almost impossible. In Canada 2,132 DCM have been awarded since 1854. 99 Victoria Crosses. This crazy bloke won 2 DCM’s after refusing one. Maybe he didn’t break enough bones, lose enough members of his body or capture enough units of men. A true Canadian Hero in a league of his own.

I suspect that Field Marshall Montgomery held a grudge against Private Major for refusing to accept the Distinguished Conduct Medal from him. That, or someone in the unit responsible for recommending citations for the 21st Army Group held that grudge on Montgomery's behalf.
It's useful to recall how some tension existed between British and Canadian soldiers (and especially officers), given the general British penchant for assuming their own superiority vis a vis the "colonials." While the British Empire had, for all purposes, disintegrated between WWI and WWII, this imperialist mindset took longer to fade amongst English elites. The existence of such tensions may well also explain how Major came to conclude that "Monty" didn't deserve to award him a DCM in the first place.
I say that because Field Marshall Montgomery had actually distinguished himself as a junior officer during the First World War. In fact, in 1914 Monty received basically the same honour that Major had refused from him (whereas non-commissioned officers and enlisted men received the Distinguished Conduct Medal for gallantry in action, officers became a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order instead). Montgomery received this honour for "turning the enemy out of their trenches with the bayonet" during a counter-offensive in the Battle of Bailleul, in which he was shot in the lung by a sniper and effectively left for dead on the battlefield. When he was finally seen by doctors, their first decision was to direct that a grave be dug for him, but he somehow survived and returned to the front with a promotion a year later.
I'll go a step further to speculate that, if Pte [later Sgt] Major had been a member of British 2nd Army rather than the 1st Canadian Army, he probably would have been discharged before having been given the chance to earn two more recommendations for the Distinguished Conduct Medal, both of which he accepted. The 21st Army Group was formed in 1944, with Montgomery in Command, and was primarily composed of the British 2nd and 1st Canadian Armies.
It was a fun video in any event!

You're close on the salute. A salute recognizes the monarch's commission granted to an officer, not the individual who holds the commission.

Makes me wonder what you have to do to get a Victoria cross.😮
