likely Idi Amin collected these odd titles to reinforce his image
Amin declared that he had defeated the British and added "CBE" to his title for "Conqueror of the British Empire"

He also awarded himself the Victoria Cross, the highest bravery award in the Armed Forces. The V.C.'s inscription reads: "For Valour." Amin's medal has the inscription: "For Supreme Valour." There you go, the bravest man in all the world.Amin declared that he had defeated the British and added "CBE" to his title for "Conqueror of the British Empire"

It's worth noting that even Idi Amin realised there was a limit to the respect one can garner for being Lord of the Fish, and he went on to found a local university to make him a doctor, (of law of course.) It's likely Idi Amin collected these odd titles to reinforce his image as one of a buffoon, thus distracting the world from the killing of his own people.
About 2/3 of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt‘s ~400 heads strong leading staff have been university graduates, vast mass of them were jurists, about 22% studied liberal arts.
1/3 of those ~400 heads were doctors, some in more than one discipline.
That is a perfect tie-in to Idi Amin, both he and Hitler defined meglomania.And Hitler was a corporal.
And Hitler was a corporal.
Nawww, he was only 5'9".The highest rank he reached in WWII Wehrmacht has been GröFaZ, Größter Feldherr aller Zeiten…
Depends on perspective, I guess.
Bending down far enough, even a hunchbacked inbreed from Austrian outback or a clubfooted gnome from Lower Rhine might appear to be large and great to some…
Just like some blue blooded aristocratic tribes, who are happy being able to walk 10m straight ahead or to autonomously close their fly…
Six, sit down. As we would say in German.
I‘m sure you know much better than this poor attempt wants to appear.
If not, just make your homework and come back in a year or two.

Too many bay leaves, the highest rank he reached in German WWI armed forces has been Private/PV2.
