Ordinary traitor is enough.

So you put Davis in the "Ethel Rosenburg" category, not the "Julius Rosenburg" category? ;-)

Did you see this thing on the exploration of the Bismarck?

Out of 700 14" and 16" shells fired at almost pointblank range they only found two penetrations of the belt armor. They found no important damage from the three torpedo hits form Dorcetshire. The Germans scuttled her.

The one torpedo hit fom the Swordfish caused massive damage to the starboard rudder and penetrated the hull, pushing the rudder into the center screw.

The show perpetrated the idea that Bismarck and not Prinz Eugen delivered the fatal shot to Hood, although I heard years ago that it was Eugen and not Bismarck that hit the Hood's magazine.

Prinz Eugen survived the war and wound up as a test dummy in one of the A-bomb tests.

No doubt the southerners will blame that on Lincoln, too.
