Extremely Aggressive Attack on the Convoy

This is the man,who is an example for me:

Otto Kretschmer, 1912 – 1998 (Fregattenkapitan) Sank 44 ships, 262,203 grt
Commanded: U23,U-99
Highest scoring ace, Otto Kretschmer, or the “tonnage king” caused more destruction on the high seas than any other submarine commander to this date. An aggressive commander, his strategy was to attack at night, on the surface and under cover of darkness. His last patrol scored him ten ships, before he was captured. After the war, Kretschmer became a rear admiral in the Federal German Navy and Chief of Staff of the NATO command.
