Vice Admiral Lothar von Arnauld de la Perière

(March 18, 1886 – February 24, 1941), born in Posen, was a German U-Boat commander during World War I. With 194 ships and 453,716 gross registered tons (GRT) sunk, he is the most successful submarine ace ever. Нis victories came in the Mediterranean, almost always using his 8.8-cm deck gun. During his career he fired 74 torpedoes, hitting 39 times

He carried out non of those exploits during WWII though.
