  1. Admiral Ernest J King. Personally responsible for the deaths of thousands of allied merchant sailors, and the loss of hundreds of thousands of tons of allied shipping and cargoes, largely based on his intense dislike for the British nation.

  2. Can I make another nomination for the 1945 naval Darwin award? I would like to direct your attention to the commander of German U-boat U1206, who I'm sure Drachinifel is well aware is the man who while using the new fangled high pressure toilet onboard his sub (it was "high pressured" so as to be able to eject its contents at the greater depths that the later submarines were capable of diving to) he managed to operate the various control valves in the wrong order which instead of flushing the remnants of last night's weiner schnitzel out into the North sea instead blew the noxious toilet contents and a large amount of accompanying seawater back into the sub. Unfortunately the sloshing seawater (and other "stuff") flooded into the U-boats nearby battery compartment, thereby releasing poisonous chlorine gas into the sub. The captain and gagging crew were forced to take the submarine to the surface to exhaust the poisonous gas out of the boat...... only for the sub to surface right underneath a passing allied anti submarine aircraft, which then unloaded its own cargo onto the u-boat, sinking her and killing 4 of its crew, fortunately the other 46 crewmen all survived. The name of the u-boat capt involved? Kapitanleutnant Schlitt...... I schlitt you not !!!
