He's too dumb to be a spy. He just messed up once to many times. He got into the army by virtue of his family.
Well was he?
He didn't want to check out the Hoth system!
He went out of lightspeed to close to the Hoth system, so the rebellion could spot them.
He tried to convince Vader thet there "is so many uncharted settlements"
He had a nasty look at Captain Piett after Vader told him to go to the Hoth system!
Vader quote: You have failed me for the last time!
What else did he do wrong?
I say he was a spy for the Rebellion!
Dark mod of something...... dirtyminded!
I was born very young. I was a small boy already when I was a child.![]()

I agree with Mann - And he got assigned to the wrong ship
with the wrong commander.
Remember Vader says "he's clumsly as he is studid"
So Vader must hold him in the same light as Jar Jar...
it says in the database that he was a rich guy.
I read he was sympathetic to the rebellion and thats why he tried to give them more time to escape.
Yeah, where did you read it? Moreover, Ozzel wasn't exactly part of the bright crop of commanders. Remember, overconfidence was the bane of Imperial Officers. And Vader wasn' texactly the top-notch strategist either.
Ozzel wasn't smart enough to be part of the Rebellion. Madine, baron Fel etc., they were the men. And I thik the storyline simply didn't allow for smart Imps. Smart Imps came up during the Thrawn trilogy. The Emperor didn't encourage smart commanders to be visible. Look at Piett; couldn't manage a Super Star Destroyer or the battle. Imagine Thrawn at the helm.
I think he didn't want to check out the Hoth system because he was not interested in relying on Vader's system of "using the force to check out things". He was thinking like a military man, and probably abhorred being commanded by someone who had little command experience and was only there by virtue of his association with the Emperor.
So the spy theory - no way!
Out of all the people working in the Imperial Navy the Admiral is pretty high up. Do you think the Rebellion could have infiltrated the Empire and have thier spy be an Admiral. Forget the Admiral part the Rebellion couldnt get a spy that close, especially standing in front of Vader. I would $h!t my pants if I stood in front of Vader. The guy was just dumb and did not know how to use power, like Mussolini, always needing Hitler to come to his rescue.
