In fact, 0.5%.
My listing of 42,002 U-boat crewmen* shows that 235 were "vons", ranging from the humble Mtr through to GenAdm (ie von Friedeburg). In all, 64 vons were enlisted men, the remainder 171 were officers.
This includes three von Barons (of which two were enlisted)
Now, how's that for rivet counting?
