Robert Moraht

http://www.uboat.net/forums/read.php?23 ... 82,quote=1
He was born in Sonderburg on the island of Alsen (Als) 7 September 1884. Joined the Navy in 1901. Served in a cruiser, a destroyer and a torpedo boat before volunteering for the U boat service in 1915. He had, by this time, attained the rank of Kapitanleutnant. He was appointed to the command of the U 64 and made his first war patrol May 31, 1916.

After a notably unsucessful career in the North Sea, Moraht and the U 64 were ordered to the Mediterranean. Here they did exceptionally well, sinking 45 merchant ships, and the French pre-dreadnought Danton, the largest warship ever sunk by a submarine until Prien got the Royal Oak in World War II. Moraht was awarded the Pour le Merite November 12 1917 for his outstanding service.

He attacked a convoy in rough weather, and his boat was seen by the escorts Lychnis and Partridge. One depth charged her, the other rammed, and the U 64 sank with only five survivors, one of whom was her commander.

He was interned in England, at the Colsterdale camp. Repatriated in 1918.

He obtained a Doctorate of Economics, and had a successful career as a business consultant. Wrote numerous scholarly articles. Elected to the Reichstag from Hamburg, 1932. At the outbreak of World War II, he rejoined the Navy, and was appointed Port Captain of Kirkenes in Norway, April-August, 1942, then of Bergen in September 1942- December 1943. He was then assigned to Bornholm. He was captured there when the Russians took the island city, and imprisoned by them for three years. He survived, and returned to Germany. Died August 26,1956.

I've attempted to clean this topic up as some of the old picture links weren't there anymore.
