  1. I believe that Schweiger’s wife mentioned him being distraught after sinking the Lusitania. Unless U-20 was taken by a new captain, this list tells a different story.

    • During his wartime career, Schwieger captained three different submarines, on a total of 34 missions. He sank 49 ships, measuring 183,883 gross register tons (GRT). He was the sixth most successful submarine commander of World War One.
