Do you recognise this u-boat commander?

[Captain Nemo]

The other day I was watching the World at War episode that covered the war in the atlantic. I recognised many well known u-boat commanders but this one I'm not sure of. He must have been a successful commander as he has just been awarded the Knights Cross. It may be the beard that has made him not easily recognisable or it might be my limited knowledge of the subject:oops: . Any ideas fellow Kaleuns?

Thanks for your replies. I think rik007 is right, it is Karl-Heinz Moehle. The strange coincidence here though is that SH3 Commander randomly selected Karl-Heinz Moehle's picture at the start of my current career:huh: . From this picture though (see below) you wouldn't make the connection with the clip in the World at War.
