Lothar von Arnauld de la Periere was the top ranking U-boat captain of all time. Most of his exploits came during World War I in the Mediterranean where he sank 194 ships with an aggregate tonnage 454,000 GRT, almost always using his 8.8-cm deck gun. He fired only four torpedos, missing once. Von Arnauld remained in the German Navy after the war ended. During World War II, he was recalled to active duty as a vice admiral, but was killed in a plane crash near Paris in 1941 while taking part in secret negotiations with the Vichy French government.
