Kurt August Viktor Weyher (30 August 1901 – 17 December 1991) was a Konteradmiral of the German Navy (Kriegsmarine) who, during World War II, commanded a merchant raider. Material on the command of the raider Orion was published online at [1]. Weyher was heavily decorated during his active lifetime and progressed to Konteradmiral (equivalent to Rear Admiral) during the war, so he seems to have been an effective officer at the least.

abstract
  • Kurt August Viktor Weyher (30 August 1901 – 17 December 1991) was a Konteradmiral of the German Navy (Kriegsmarine) who, during World War II, commanded a merchant raider. Material on the command of the raider Orion was published online at [1]. Weyher was heavily decorated during his active lifetime and progressed to Konteradmiral (equivalent to Rear Admiral) during the war, so he seems to have been an effective officer at the least. Although it was not mentioned in his book "The Black Raider", it seems that Weyher was a non-trivial painter; in a feature article author Keith Gordon tells that on the voyage of the Orion Weyher did about 30 paintings on subjects connected with the ship's activities. The one painting illustrated seems to have had narrative merit and to have represented the topographic background recognisably.
