About Admiral Rogge

(Legend: as Lewinski von Manstein and Milch, the Jewish origins of Rogge did not prevent him from becoming one of the officers of Hitler's favorite. He served the regime with a fidelity never faulted ).

one high intellectual, this historical review Maverick led by our colleague Balbino Katz, gives a large place in Germany. For starters, a very interesting article on the best naval officer of the Third Reich, the captain Bernhard Rogge, a Jew faithful to his country. Faced with grime imbecility of a small local apparatchik, the Kreisleiters (similar to a general counsel) Eutin, Rogge asked for protection Führer through Admiral Räder. The chief of the German petty leaders summoned the small township to stop immediately all forms of discrimination against Rogge had proved to be perhaps the Jewish religion, but above all German heart. Alas, the wife of the officer did not resist and psychologically committed suicide ... Appalled but realizing that he had been the victim of a poor idiot, Rogge was a perfect fidelity to his country, as Milch Lewinsky as von Manstein, as Heydrich, as the 25 Jewish generals, like the 150,000 Jewish soldiers of the Wehrmacht ... Born November 4, 1899, a volunteer in the Kriegsmarine of William II at the age of 16 he became a midshipman on the Moltke in 1916. He served as the Weimar Republic he had served the Kaiser, and in 1937 the Nazi regime gave him the command of the most beautiful sailing vessel in the world: Albert Leo Schlageter (named after a strong German shot by the French in 1923 in the Ruhr), which is still sailing today (this is the Sagres Portuguese Navy after the Guanabara Brazilian from 1948 to 1960). Secure the loyalty of his officer, in 1939 Hitler gave him command of the freighter Goldenfels which was to be transformed into an auxiliary cruiser. At the outset, Rogge save his ship by deleting the word "Hilfskreuzer II" painted in large letters on the hull! Renamed Atlantis, the ship took the sea October 22, 1940, he took the Yugoslav freighter Durmitor. The odyssey of the latter and its crew taken to the port of Warsheik (Italian Somaliland) deserves an entire book. On 8 November, he captured the Norwegian tanker Teddy but his best decision was undoubtedly captured the freighter Automedon English 11 November 1940: In the safe ship, anything less than the defense plan of Singapore English, codes of the English merchant marine, the organization of British armed forces in the Far East, and a valuable cargo: aircraft and automobile parts, whiskey, cigarettes, medical products, microscopes ... In his "rear base" of Kergelen, the Atlantis mission and multiplied there buried his first victim: the Quartermaster Bernhard Herrmann, who died accidentally on December 29. On December 8, 1940, Rogge told that Hitler was a Knight of the Iron Cross. In April 1941, the ship had sunk or captured 16 enemy ships. On April 17, 1941, the Atlantis mistakenly attacks a steamer Egyptian, Zamzam: not having been informed of its sale to Egypt, Robbe had recognized ... the troop carrier he was still Leicestershire in 1940! Although there were only three serious injuries, the incident was publicized by an American journalist in this board, David Scherman. Allied propaganda was able to leisurely ramble on about "Nazi barbarity" and lend Rogge imaginary crimes, such as in 1914-18 and in 1945 ... The cruise of the Atlantis ends 22 November 1941, when it was sunk by the British cruiser Dunedin. Repatriated to Germany, Robbe-cons was named admiral in 1943, then Vice-Admiral in March 1945. In 1957, West Germany recalled the downshifting cons to the rank of admiral, but his retirement in November 1962 he had regained his star and had become the commander of NATO forces in northern Germany.
