    I did a little research, and honestly I'm kind of surprised I had never heard of him before.

    Martin Luther King Jr. would be high up there, along with Mary Read, William Barret Travis, and the Wright Brothers.

    How did I forget to mention MLK? Guess I need to lay down.

    Well my favorite historical figure is Erwin Rommel.The guy was probably one of the few "good" Nazis during WWII.He made sure that Allied prisoners that he captured were given adequate rations.He even buried a British commando with full military honors after he failed to kill or capture Rommel.

    Other than that,he was a great military commander.He wasn't called the Desert Fox for nothing.

    I think most Nazi troops were forced into the military and were then brainwashed (more or less). Rommel sounds like he survived Nazi training with his humanity intact.

    One of my (only) favorite members of the Nazi party would have to be Oskar Schindler. He risked his life, and fortune in order to save the lives of over a thousand Jewish people, and he has the honor of being buried on Mount Sinai.

    True, most of the Soldiers were kids after all. Brainwashed kids. I remember a episode of NCIS that a certain Gray haired Fox's dad was saved by a Nazi pilot, they became friends after the war.

    He truly is! The interesting thing is that he had put his aim at the Holy roman crown. I wonder what would have happened if he hadn't died in Lutzen, and instead crowned himself emperor...
