About German Nazi officers in World War II
Ranking of ace pilots of the German Air Force in World War II.
Super Ace: Hans Rudder
Hans Rudder is not an "armor ace" like Michael Whitman and Oster buckman. But he destroyed more Soviet tanks than they put together. He is the greatest Ju87 "Stuka" pilot ever, and his specialty is to destroy enemy armored vehicles from the air. The number of enemy equipment he destroyed is unimaginable, including 5 19 Soviet tanks (enough to form five complete Soviet armored forces! ) and countless other targets (including the battleship Mara! He returned fire and wounded the battleship Red October. ), this is just his record! (See below for details).

As we all know, in 194 1, Germany has three ace captains. At that time, their record was so high that other captains were amazed. The three of them had a good time in China. But at the same time, in 194 1, these three trump cards fell one after another. Two of them were buried at the bottom of the sea with their submarines, and one was captured. The prisoner is Otto Kretschmer.
Otto is the number one trump card in German submarine warfare. He always sank 47 ships, accounting for 274.386 tons. Ranked first among all u boats.
1930 In April, Otto started his training voyage as a trainee captain. He first spent three months on the training ship "Naiobi" of the Aviation School, and then sailed with the light cruiser "Emden" 1 for many years. Before that, Otto, aged 17, spent eight months in Essex, England, where he learned English.
1936 1 Otto began to participate in the training of U-boat troops. Because he had rich sailing experience before, he was appointed as the captain of U boat. 1936 Spanish civil war broke out and Germany sent troops to intervene. 1937, as the first captain of U-35 submarine, participated in the patrol mission of Spanish waters.
1937 In September, a new type 2 U-boat -U-23 was transferred and received from U-35 submarine. Shortly after the outbreak of World War II, he commanded the U-23 to achieve its first success in the British North Sea near the Scottish coast. Later, he successfully laid nine mines in the heavily guarded Scottish Eel Bay. 1940 65438+1October 12 sank the Danish oil tanker "Denmark", which was his first major victory. 1 month later, sank the British destroyer Bold (1, 375 tons).
1940 In April, Otto left U-23 and was appointed as the captain of U-99 submarine in the same month. Two months later, U-99 left his training base in Kiel, Germany, and began his most brilliant "hunting and diving". In this attack, he made nine surface attacks on the allied escort fleet and sank several allied ships. In particular, three 10,000-ton British armored cruisers were sunk: Luo Rentik (18724 tons), Patroclus (1 1.3 14 tons) and Fofar (16402 tons). By 1940, 165438+ 10, he had sunk more than 46,000 tons of ships. Since then, "Silent Otto" has become the "king of tonnage" among many U-boat captains, and no one has surpassed it so far. He also has a famous saying-"a torpedo"
But his good fortune didn't last. 194 1 In March, he set sail for the last time. After sinking the allied ship 10, at 17, the British destroyer "rambler" was encountered in southeast England. After the "rambler" found the U-99, it immediately launched a pursuit to cast a deep-water bomb. After many attacks, the hull of U-99 was seriously damaged and forced to be captured from the water. Otto and 43 crew members got off the submarine (note: the chief engineer on board was dead) and were immediately captured by the British ship. The U-99 submarine then sank.
After Otto was captured, he was held in a prison camp in Britain for one and a half years, and then transferred to prison camp 30 in Canada to continue his detention. 1947 was released and returned to Germany in February. /kloc-0 joined the newly established federal german navy in/955,/kloc-0 became commander of escort fleet in/957, and/kloc-0 became commander of amphibious force in/958. 1962 joined the general staff, 1965 served as the chief of staff of the navy department of the north Atlantic treaty organization, and 1970 retired.
1998 Otto was injured in an accident while on vacation in Bavaria and died shortly after being taken to hospital.

1933, after studying law for three semesters, Wolfgang Russ began his naval career. In the summer of this year, according to the usual practice, he was sent to the "Fog" of the Maritime School for three months as an intern, and then sailed around the world with the light cruiser "Kasru" for the next nine months, passing through India, Indonesia, Australia, North America and South America, and changed to "Negroponte" one year later. 1937 transferred to U boat for service in February. 1July, 937, became the second mate of U-27 submarine. That year, the Spanish civil war broke out and submarines patrolled the waters near western countries. In June+10 of the same year, Ruth became the first mate of U-38 boat.
1939 When World War II broke out in September, Ruth immediately began his real U-boat career. After a short stay on the U- 13 submarine of the Military Academy, he took over an IIB class submarine U-U-9. The six cruises of the submarine made him successful, and the most remarkable achievement was the sinking of the French submarine Doris in May 1940.
1June 1940, Wolfgang-Ruth was transferred to the IID class boat U- 138 as the captain. Late at night on September 20th and early at 2 1 Sunday, using his new submarine, Lute sank four * * * 34,633 tons. In June+10, 5438, another record was set for the sinking and damage of a ship. This success won him a knighthood. As the commander of the boat, he is the only one. In the same month, he boarded the larger U-43. Five expeditions with the boat sank 12 ships with a total of 68,077 tons./kloc-0 left U-43 in April, 942. A month later, he became the captain of IXD2 class boat U- 18 1.
1942 In September, Ruth started a new voyage and arrived in Cape Town and the Indian Ocean in South Africa. In two months, she sank four ships, totaling ***2 1, 987 tons. On the eve of her return, in June 65438+ 16 10, Ruth learned from the congratulatory message from the headquarters that after a short break, March would be a new voyage to the African Sea and the Indian Ocean. Even in this bad situation, he has achieved impressive results: sinking ships 10, totaling 453 1 ton. At this time, Ruth became the first U-boat commander to win the Diamond Oak Leaf Double Sword Knight Medal. Another outstanding feature of this voyage is that it is the longest voyage ever made by a submarine (only 20 days less than the 225 days in U- 196 Kentlat). At that time, in order to boost morale, Colonel Ruth invented many ideas, such as publishing submarine newsletters and holding various competitions to keep the crew alive. 12 17 at the naval officers' military meeting, Ruth gave a report with the above examples.
1944 1 10 In October, Ruth, who had served in U-boat for five years continuously, was appointed as the commander of the 22nd formation. In July, he was transferred to the frans Fort Naval School 1 Department. In September, he became the youngest dean in the history of the German Naval Academy.
However, on the night of May 1945, 12, the legendary figure died in an accident after the war. At that time, when a sentry asked for the password, Ruth didn't respond. This unforgivable mistake made him immediately shot in the head by a sensitive sentry and fell to the ground and died. So far, there are still various speculations about this. Some people think that he wants to commit suicide, while others infer that the guard is hard of hearing. More likely, he was drunk and unresponsive, trying to cut across the military school playground.
Ruth is the most controversial figure among all submarine officers. First, he publicly declared that he was a staunch believer in Nazism. On the other hand, his personality and achievements have made him many potential enemies. Although he set a record for sinking the highest tonnage, most of them were in the African Sea and the Indian Ocean, so it was relatively easy to fight. At that time, people thought his military management method was both boring and ridiculous. At the same time, his paternalistic style is also well known. He believes that the duty of a leader should be to care about the performance of his subordinates, even if they leave the submarine. On the ship, all technical achievements must be approved by him, and even posters on the wall are forbidden. He held some activities to put an end to "sex problems on board" and actively publicized his theory of maritime health preservation. Dress appropriately and control diet and cigarettes. Of course, Ruth's strict fatherly style has made most of his men loyal and respectful to him until today. After he left U- 18 1, he still took time out of the busy schedule of academic affairs in the military academy to help the former staff to handle private affairs. Deng Nici even reserved a position for him in the Navy General Staff. On the other hand, if he hadn't died, he might have stayed in the allied prison for several years.
Two days after Ruth died, the Third Reich held a state funeral for him. Six submarine officers who won the Knight's Medal held a wake for him, and Deng Nici delivered a eulogy. To this day, a marble monument is engraved with the legendary story of this outstanding U-boat commander.

In the German navy, except Ruth and Brandi, who later won the Diamond Oak Leaf Double Sword Knights, only Eric Top, suhren reinhard and Otto Critz Ma were awarded the Oak Leaf Double Sword Knights.
Eyerich Top joined the navy in April 1934, and served on the cruiser "Kasru" for six months before joining the U-boat force in April 1937 10. A year later, he became an observer of U-46.
After four voyages, Top began to command the U-57, with which he sank six ships weighing 36,862 tons. However, on September 3, 1940, U-57 sank in an accident.
Top is also the captain of the VIIC-class submarine "Azazel" U-552, and he scored higher and higher when attacking allied escort fleets along the coast of North Atlantic and North America. 1in March and April of 942, he always sank eight ships at 4573 1 ton.
1942 In September, Top became the commander of the 27th formation, which was then used for tactical training of new members. 1944, Top wrote a combat guide book. At the end of World War II, Top was the commander of U-25 13 and surrendered to the allied forces in Norway in May 1945. [
After the war, Top worked as a fisherman for several months. Like Brandi, he later became an architect. 1958 joined the then Federal German Navy. He spent four years in the United States as a member of the NATO Military Committee. This article is transferred from w2war.com, a military base in World War II.
Top retired on 1969 and won the Grand Federal Medal of Merit. From 1970 to 1984, I worked as an industrial consultant for 14.

Gott Prien joined the German Navy in 193 1 and worked on merchant ships before that. After serving in Kaogsberg, a light cruiser for one year, he joined the submarine force of the German navy in June 1935+00. 1938, during the Spanish civil war, he patrolled Spanish waters under the leadership of Captain Hartman of U-26.
Prien's most famous story is that the Royal Oak, heavily guarded by the British Northern Fleet, sank in Scarpa Bay on June 1939+00+04. Churchill recorded in his diary the superb skills of German submarines in commanding litigation. Prien was the first U-boat commander to receive a Knight's Order.
The following is an American reporter's description of Priman's return:
65438+ 10/8, Berlin (W.L.Shirer: Berlin Diary 1934- 194 1)
German submarines sank the British battleship Royal Oak in Scarpa Bay, Britain's largest naval base. This is unbelievable. Tonight, a World War I submarine commander told me that the Germans tried to sail the U-boat into Scarpa Bay twice during World War I, but the pilot failed and the submarine sank.
This afternoon, Prien and his crew, a group of boys aged 18, 19, met with reporters at the press conference held by the Propaganda Department. Prien is a 30-year-old capable, proud, confident and loyal Nazi immigrant. Under the introduction of Dr Dietrich, Hitler's press officer (a man who kept cursing Britain and Churchill for lying), Prien hardly told us what he had done. He said he had no problem crossing the defense. I have an impression, but I can't confirm it from his conversation. He must have followed the British, perhaps a torpedo boat, into the base. The consequences of Britain's negligence are disastrous. .
1941February 20th, before Prien's last voyage.
In the following 65438+August, Prien proved himself to be one of the best German commanders. During his six visits 1940, he sank eight ships with a gross tonnage of 5 1483. In the battle to attack the escort fleet, he always finds the escort fleet first and informs other ships by radio.
For example, when he attacked the HX-79 convoy, he first found and tracked the enemy ship. U-47 brought other U-boats and killed four ships. [
Deng Nici wanted to transfer him to the training department, but Prien decided to stay on his boat.
1941On February 20th, U-47 left Saint Nazaire (France), which was the tenth trip. Four days later, they attacked the OB-290 convoy and sank four ships with tonnage of 16 and 3 10 respectively. The last time I received a radio signal from U-47 was on the morning of March 7th.
194 1 On March 7 or 8, 2008, Gott Prien and U-47, together with all their members (45 people), sank into the sea.
Now, people have questioned this incident. Traditionally, the U-47 was sunk by the Wolverine of the British Navy, but now there is information that the Wolverine actually attacked Captain Ackerman's UA boat, which was seriously injured and retired from the battle.
Now people speculate that the U-47 was hit by a torpedo launched by itself. (Two American submarines are believed to have sunk in the Pacific Ocean due to the same equipment failure. )

Among the 27 German soldiers who won the Diamond Double Sword Oak Leaf Knight Medal, the navy only occupied two, which made it even more precious. Besides top seed Colonel Wolfgang Ras, Albert Brand is another naval hero. On the surface, his achievements are not as good as those of other double-edged oak knights.
Brandi began his military career as a naval reserve officer on April 1935. From June 1936 to March 1937, I attended the Naval School in Fort Huvelin. On the eve of graduation, he worked as an intern on the cruiser "Karslou" for six months and received basic hull training as usual. Later, he received further training on a minesweeper. Then, Brandy's M- 1 was incorporated into the 1 torpedo boat fleet, and participated in the battle against Poland in September of 1939, escorting the German battleship Hastings. In this battle, Brandy first showed his desire to be transferred to U-boat, but his efforts failed. 1May, 940, promoted to captain of M- 1 minesweeper. 1941April, Brandy began to receive submarine tactical training in Hastings. He tried his best to be transferred to the U-boat unit for the second time, and this time he finally got his wish. After the training, Brandy was on standby, and then was sent to the base of St. Nazaire, where he started his first U-boat trip.
194 1 At the end, Brandi boarded the boat "Azazel" -U-552 according to the order of the training department and went to the Azores for training. After arriving there, he was ordered to turn to Canadian waters. At that time, there was no time to carry winter combat equipment and a detailed map, so I touched Cape Reyes and sank two ships there, totaling 7,000 tons. Judging from the harsh conditions at that time (storm, sea full of mines, engine damage), Brandy was not like a novice, but an experienced and excellent commander.
1942 On April 9th, Brandi was appointed as the captain of the VIIC class boat U-6 17. Except for him, there are only five crew members with experience in U-boat operation. From April to August, U-6 17 completed routine training with the 5th formation (the training formation at Kiel base). A month later, he left the port of Kiel for the port of St. Nazaire and sank four ships on the way. The second tour of U-6 17 began in June. Brandy claimed to have sunk one ship and damaged another, but he couldn't prove it.
The shock of Gibraltar
1942165438+1On October 4th, Brandy was ordered to go to Mediterranean waters and was attacked by the British Air Force when he went to the heavily guarded Gibraltar Strait. At that time, U-6 17 survived, and the two bombs thrown at it actually missed. On 19, Brandy retaliated against a British frigate, and the result of touching the tiger's ass can be imagined: then U-6 17 hid in the deep sea for four hours, and the angry British rewarded them with a lot of Type 80 depth charges.
Later, in September of 1943, Brandi and U-6 17 were incorporated into the 29th formation.
1943 went out to sea for the fourth time. After leaving the base, Brandi encountered an allied submarine. At that time, both sides tried to get close to each other and tried to annihilate each other. After three hours, Brandy got impatient and ordered the diving to continue. On June 265438+1October 2 1, 1943, Brandi was knighted in Raspe. 10 days later, the fifth voyage made Brandy a great success. This time, he sank a mine-laying ship "Welshman" of the British Royal Navy.
On April 1 1, Brandi was awarded the Knight of Oak Leaf on his sixth voyage. He claimed to have sunk a cruiser (Uganda? ) and another merchant ship with a tonnage of 23500, but the result has not been confirmed. This is very bad for him. However, this is a thorny issue (especially brandy) for submarines in the Medland era. In fact, it is really difficult for the commander of U-boat to judge his achievements. As we all know, you must dive and leave immediately after launching a torpedo.
1In August, 943, Brandi started his eighth outing from Toulon. In the first few days, brandy passed between two British air force transport ships, Yangming and Rose, but there was no chance to fire. On September 6th, the destroyer Puckridge sank 40 nautical miles east of Gibraltar. 1 1 night, U-6 17 arrived off Morocco and was attacked by allied warplanes. It was badly damaged by three bombs. Brandy ordered to abandon the ship and sink the submarine. They floated to the shore in a rubber boat and were captured by the Spanish army. Brandi was held in a camp near Katiz. Later, he managed to escape and returned to Germany, where he met Deng Nici and told him about his adventures.
1944
