Meet Captain Harald Grosse, last commander of U-53:

He managed to sink 5 ships - all of them neutral. And he wasn't even that special - even famous aces like Schepke or Kretschmer are credited with several neutral ships.
I was surprised to see how many Swedish ship were sunk - these poor guys have been neutral all the time and yet they've lost more ships to the U-Boats then Canada or France.
