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.

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.
