<HTML>Hi Derek,
As far as I can tell Bernhard Rogge never had anything to do with Milag. There was a Korvetten-Kapitan Rogge listed as second in command at:
[www.usmm.org] though. Perhaps he was a relative but I have no way of knowing.
Bernhard Rogge wrote a document intended to be a training manual for future merchant raider commanders as his first assignment after the sinking of Atlantis and shortly there after (April 15, 1942) he was made Chief of Staff for the Marine Educational Inspector General's Office in Kiel.
Nearly a year later he was promoted to Konteradmiral and given the responsibility for monitoring the selection and training of all officer candidates for the Kriegsmarine as an inspector assigned to the Training Inspectorate Department of the naval staff. He held that position until Sept 24, 1944.
He then took command of the navy's surface fleet training programs, an assignment that also placed him in command of the 1st Naval Battle Group in the Baltic.
He returned to active fleet combat service in Feb 1945. On March 1, 1945 he was promoted to Vizeadmiral and he commanded "Task Force Rogge" from his flagship the Prinz Eugen. The task force also included the pocket battleships Lutzow and Admiral Scheer.
The task force was mainly used to bombard the Russian positions along the North German Baltic coast. When that was unable to stop the advancing Russians they spent the rest of the war rescuing German soldiers and civilians from them.
Rogge surrendered the Prinz Eugen to the British in May, 1945. He was interned by the British on July 7th, 1945. His actions during the war were judged to be lawful and appropriate under all international law and he was set free September 14th, 1945.
He entered the post war German navy on June 1, 1957 and he retired on March 31st, 1962 During this tour he became responsible for all NATO ground, air and sea forces responsible for defending northern Germany.
He passed away on June 29th, 1982 in Hamburg at the age of 83 after an extremely distinguished career.
