    Thanks, but as to your DQ answer 12, he was an officer.

    Other previous IQs:

    Were you an inflatable character on Airplane!? - Otto the Autopilot

    Otto x3!

    Next round to start later today, I hope.

    Yeah, you don't get to lead a mission like that without being an officer. I see he was an SS-Obersturmbannführer (lieutenant colonel), the same rank as Eichmann. I'm actually surprised he didn't rise higher by the end of the war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Skorzeny

    Right, then. Your next letter is
