Adalbert Zuckschwerdt

Adalbert Zuckschwerdt (1874-1945) was captain ("Korvettenkapitän") of the German raider, the SMS "Cormoran", that sailed from the German colony of Tsingtao (Qingdao today), China, until it was stranded and finally interned at Guam by the Americans. Upon it's internment, Zuckschwerdt preempted the confiscation of the vessel by the Americans by igniting preplanted explosives and scuttling it Apra Harbor.

Zuckschwerdt also served on SMS "Roon" as an artillery officer ("Artillerieoffizier") when it visited Australia in 1913.

He was later the "Konteradmiral" commanding the Loire/French South Coast command in 1943. On 23 March 1944 Adalbert Zuckschwerdt received the German Cross in Silver as "Seekommandant" Languedoc.
