(1 May 1912 5 August 1998) was the. And later an admiral in the. From September 1939 until his surrender in March 1941, he sank 47 ships, a total of 274,333 tons.

For this he received the. Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords.

He earned the nickname "Silent Otto" both for his successful use of the. Capability of U-boats as well as for his reluctance to transmit radio messages during patrols. After the war, he served in the German Federal Navy and retired in 1970 with the rank of. The Type VII U-boat of World War II.

The Type VII U-boat was an incredible weapon of war. With their submarine fleet, the Germans almost brought England to her knees. Over the course of the war, over 1000 German submarines would be built, but fewer than 100 would return by wars end. In the waning days of the war, going on even a single U-boat mission was tantamount to a death sentence.

During WWII, Under the leadership of Gross Admiral Karl Donitz, German sub commanders perfected use of the firing computer, the angled torpedo attack, and almost every other submarine innovation used during the war. After the war, the Allies would employ ever tactic & innovation used by the Germans. The USS Nautilus was based on U-boat refinements & its successful and innovative submarine design. Type VIIC was a slightly modified version of the successful VIIB. They had basically the same engine layout and power, but were slightly larger and heavier which made them not quite as fast as the VIIB.

The VIIC was the workhorse of the German U-boat force in World War Two from 1941 onwards and boats of this type were being built throughout the war. The first VIIC boat to be commissioned was the U-69. The VIIC was a very effective submarine and was seen in almost all areas where the U-boat force operated. Their range was not as great as the one of the larger IX types but they were very maneuverable and relatively fast for a submarine of its time. The VIIC came into service right when the merchant fleet was almost defeated and the good hunting days were almost over.

The VIIc was the boat that faced the final defeat to the Allied anti-submarine campaign in late 1943 and 1944. U-78's keel was laid down on the 28th of March, 1940 in Bremer Vulkan, and then rebuilt in Bremen-Vegesack. It was commissioned on 15th of February 1941 and Captain Adolf Dumrese was its first commander. It had only one successful patrol from the 15th of February to the 6th of June 1944 when it was sunk by escorts in a convoy attack with the loss of 29 of its crew members. It had sunk 11 ships worth a impressive 78,072 merchant tons.
