Notes
Awarded the Pour le Mérite on the 30 or the 31 of January, probably the 31 together with others. For outstanding leadership and distinguished naval planning and successful submarine operations. Also given in recognition of having sunk a total of 169,656 BRT of enemy shipping (later research has reduced this number quite a bit).
