Yup. American POW numero uno. Ensign Sakamaki was the only one out of the ten midget submariners to survive the attack on Pearl Harbor. Fire away Fox.

No hard feeling, MightyMacbeth. Okay, here my question, give me full name of the man who almost killed Hilter at Wolf's lair.

I would go with:

Colonel Claus Philipp Maria Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg, where Graf isn't his name but the title he has as a Count. The Germans place that after the first names..... but I don't know why.

Bloody hell, I might be the first one on this question.... My answer is:

Hannah Reitsch (1912-1979).

Born in 1932, in Hirschberg, Silesia, on 29 March 1912, the daughter of an ophthalmologist, became a medical student with the idea of being a missionary doctor, but this was not to be. She began gliding and went on to become one of the first few people to cross the alps in a glider. She was the first female test pilot and helicopter pilot and flew everything the Third Reich had: from the first helicopter (the Focke-Achgelis) to the prototype of a piloted V-1, the V-1e. She went on to set more than 40 altitude and endurance records in motorless and powered aircraft in her lifetime. She is Number One Whirly Girl, and a recipient of the Nazi Iron Cross.
