Otto Eduard Weddigen (September 15, 1882 – March 18, 1915) was a German U-boat commander during World War I. [...] In 1910 he was given command of one of the first German submarines, U-9.
On 22 September 1914, while patrolling in the region of the southern North Sea known to the British as the "Broad Fourteens", U-9 intercepted the three warships of the Seventh Cruiser Squadron, also known as the Live Bait Squadron. Weddigen fired off all six of his torpedoes, reloaded while submerged, and in less than an hour sank the three British armoured cruisers HMS Aboukir, HMS Hogue and HMS Cressy. Sixty two officers and 1,397 men were killed, only 837 survived.
Otto Weddigen was awarded the Iron Cross and, after sinking HMS Hawke and some merchant ships, Prussia's highest military order, the Pour le Mérite. He became one of only six non-Bavarians to receive the Knight's Cross of the Military Order of Max Joseph, Bavaria's highest military honor. He also received the highest military honors of the other two kingdoms of the German Empire, the Knight's Cross of Saxony's Military Order of St. Henry and the Knight's Cross of Württemberg's Military Merit Order.
Weddigen died while commanding the submarine U-29. On March 18, 1915, U-29 was sighted cruising at periscope depth and was rammed by the British battleship HMS Dreadnought in the Pentland Firth. There were no survivors from the submarine.

I haven't heard of this. My wife likes to make a drink with the Calvados and warm apple cider. I will have to try Calvados and A&W. What are the proportions?
