Actually, Adolf Hitler was a decorated veteran of World War I, and he didn't fight in World War II, as he was dictator of Germany at the time, and not a soldier. Despite that, Hitler really wouldn't work for this guessing game, as he was originally born in Austria, not Germany.

220ErisofDiscord

Yep, Mr. A is the closest, so I'll hand it to him, since he's technically correct. I was actually thinking of the character Michael Palin played in that skit, Cardinal Ximénez.
