Lothar von Arnauld de la Perière, not necessarily for the massive amount of ships and tonnage he sank (194 for 453,716 GRT), but for being so successful despite being in primitive WWI boats and doing so while following the prize rules of the time.

Good Choice

For WWI, I'll say Weddigen

Otto Weddigen would be my second choice, he was involved in some of the most successful submarine actions in the war. His boat was also sunk in quite a peculiar manner.

For WWI i would say Walther Forstman.

Anybody that sailed in those early U-boats and survived is okay in my book.
