I used "Von Anus" for one captain.

I have never used "von" in a name on any SH series

"Von" was historically used to distinguish nobility. Since most U-boat men were from working class families, the "Von" preposition would have been very infrequent for a U-boat man to have. So I don't use it.
How's that for rivet counting?

Always have, ever since I was a little kid. And be damned anyone who therefore thinks that I'm a Nazi glorifying romanticist sypathiser.

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?  *Courtesy of www.ubootwaffe.net |

Since the mother of all U-boat sims I play with my "germanized" name: Markus and always with German speech though I am Dutch.
