Lothar von Arnauld de la Perière
Lothar von Arnauld de la Perière survived the war, was retained in the Weimar-era Reichsmarine, taught at the Turkish Naval Academy for several years in the early 1930s, and went on to become a vizeadmiral in the WWII Kriegsmarine before perishing in a plane crash in 1941, aged 54. His record number of sunken tonnage and sunken ships is unsurpassed, but his chance to add San Miguel to that list was spoiled.
