Admiral Otto Ciliax

[Illugi]

I am writing a little something about the German Navy in WW2 and am for example searching for information about the leading German admirals. Now I am interested in Otto Ciliax (of Channel Dash-fame) but I can nowhere find anything about his life after the war and untill his death in 1964 - in Lubeck. Could anyone help me to fill in the blanks in Ciliax's life and maybe something about his personality.

Best regards, Illugi Jökulsson
