    She is believed to be the first Asian American female U.S. Navy officer and became the Navy's first female gunnery officer during World War II, according to her official 2002 biography, "Willow Tree Shade: The Susan Ahn Cuddy Story," written by John Cha. Rising to the rank of lieutenant, she later went on to work for U.S. Navy Intelligence, the Library of Congress and the National Security Agency.

    Reinhard Hardegen (1913- )

    Josef Scheungraber (1918- )

    Hans Lipschis (1919- )

    Herta Bothe (1921- )

    Vladimir Katriuk (1921-2015)

    Otto Carius (1922-2015)

    Joachim Boosfeld (1922- )

    Helmut Oberlander (1924- )

     

    4 this year already.

     

    Update: Gerhard Sommer declared unfit for trial. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-32924225

     

     

    Hardegen's safe until 2016, I know that because I've got him picked on a dead pool.

     

    i was reading an article the other day about how many current-day Germans influential in the military and politics are the sons of high-ranking Nazis. :(

     

    Disturbing but not surprising- nepotism and top-level politics go hand in hand.

    I didn't submit a team because I'm utterly clueless about these people, but I guess Zac Goldsmith is a prime candidate:

    Hell, cluelessness has never stopped the rest of us entering dead pools, indeed the random dart in the paper method has - according to some winners - been their chosen means of compiling a list of choices from a list of candidates.

     

    Cluelessness hasn't stopped most of the "people" named in this thread entering Parliament, either.

    William Faulkner, back in 1962.

    I am more convinced and determined than ever that this is not for me. I will protest to the last: no photographs, no recorded documents. It is my ambition to be, as a private individual, abolished and voided from history, leaving it markless, no refuse save the printed books; I wish I had enough sense to see ahead thirty years ago, and like some of the Elizabethans, not signed them. It is my aim, and every effort bent, that the sum and history of my life, which in the same sentence is my obit and epitaph too, shall be them both: He made the books and he died.

    Another person linked to the fake doctors Vyapam scam in India, Dr Arun Sharma, Dean of a Jabalpur medical college, has been found dead.

     

    http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-jabalpur-medical-college-dean-with-links-to-vyapam-scam-accused-found-dead-2101901

     

    The burnt down body of another Dean of the same medical college Dr DK Sakalle, who was reportedly looking into fake admissions in the medical college in the wake of MPPEB (Vyapam) scam, was found in his home on July 4 last year.

     

    A journalist working for a news channel had mysteriously died yesterday after having interviewed the parents of a girl who had been found dead near railway tracks after her name figured in the Vyapam scam.

     

    At least 25 accused and witnesses have died so far in the Vyapam scam, a massive admission and recruitment racket involving several bureaucrats and politicians, and the opposition Congress has been demanding a CBI probe into the matter.

     

    This comes just a day after a journalist covering the case was found dead under mysterious circumstances. Something smells rotten in Denmark India.

    Singh's death comes after just a week after Narendra Singh Tomar, an accused in the Vyapam scam, died in the Indore jail after complaining of chest pain. At least 25 accused and witnessed linked to the case have died under mysterious circumstances so far. Activist Anand Rai, the principal whistleblower in the scam, told The News Minute that the number of deaths of people linked to the scam under suspicious circumstances is 45.
