List of successful U-boat commanders
- List of successful U-boat commanders
List of successful U-boat commanders contains lists of the most successful German U-boat commanders in the two World Wars based on total tonnage.
The tonnage figures (and sometimes the number of ships sunk) is still being debated among historians. This is often due to convoy battles at night when an attacking wolf pack fired torpedoes into the convoy and two commanders claimed the same ship. Although post-war research has eliminated most of those doubtful victims, there are still some in question.
World War I
