Known as the Merchant of Death in the Belle Epoque period (late 19th-early 20th Century) Hiram Maxim? (The inventor and seller of the Maxim machine gun) Not really. The person in question was such a cunning salesman that he sold a submarine to Greece, then convinced the Ottomans to buy submarines because Greece was expanding their navy by buying his submarines*. With Greece and the Ottomans buying submarines, he used this to convince Russia to biy his submarines. *not his invention, but he was selling them. |

August von Mackensen: Mackensen was briefly captured by the British Second Army at his home during the closing weeks of the Second World War. Upon the arrival of the British, rather than making an expected war-like statement, the old soldier merely made the request that newly freed foreign workers should be "kept from stealing his chickens"
