Major then proceeded to run throughout the city firing his machine gun, throwing grenades and making so much noise that he fooled the Germans into thinking that the Canadian Army was storming the city in earnest. As he was doing this, he would attack and capture German troops. About 10 times during the night he captured groups of 8 to 10 German soldiers, escorted them out of the city and gave them to the French-Canadian troops that were waiting in the vicinity. After transferring his prisoners to the troops, he would return to Zwolle to continue his assault. However, four times during the night he had to force his way into civilians' houses to get some rest. He eventually located the Gestapo HQ and set the building on fire. Later stumbling upon the SS HQ, he got into a quick but deadly fight with eight ranking Nazi officers: four were killed, and the other half fled. He noticed that two of the SS he just killed were disguised as resistance members. The Zwolle resistance had been (or were going to be) infiltrated by the Nazis.

Not quite related but during the early months of the Winter War where communications weren't reliably established, Finnish ski troops would often take the initiative and raid Soviet camps in the night, taking them by surprise and then exfiltrating before reinforcements could arrive.
Well the Finnish regulars who were entrenched down the line could hear all the gunfire and screaming, and when they'd check it out in the morning, all they'd find were frozen corpses. This led to the Finns believing that there was a spoopy monster that came in the night to eat the invaders of its home

People circlejerk about this event, but it doesn't seem like much actually happened. I think they just like the idea of what they want to fantasize happened.
This one is always great
