| - Karl Dönitz (16. syyskuuta 1891 – 24. joulukuuta 1980) oli natsi-Saksan laivaston ylipäällikkö toisen maailmansodan aikana. Vaikkei Dönitz koskaan liittynytkään natsipuolueeseen, hän saavutti suuramiraalin arvon ja toimi sukellusvenelaivaston ylimpänä päällikkönä (Befehlshaber der Unterseeboote) ja myöhemmin itse Kriegsmarinen ylipäällikkönä (Oberbefehlshaber der Kriegsmarine). Dönitz myös toimi vajaan kuukauden verran Saksan presidenttinä (Reichspräsident) Hitlerin kuoleman jälkeen.
- Karl Dönitz (16 September 1891 - 24 December 1980) was a German naval Commander who served in the Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial German Navy) during World War I, commanded the German submarine fleet during World War II, and eventually was given control of the entire Kriegsmarine (German Navy).
- Dönitz was born in Grünau in Berlin, Germany. In 1910, Dönitz enlisted in the Imperial German Navy (Kaiserliche Marine). On 15 April 1911, he became a midshipman (Fähnrich zur See), the rank given to those who had served for one year as officer's apprentice and had passed their first examination. Dönitz became a captain on one of the Kaiserliche Marine's U-boats. He was sunk and captured after an aborted convoy attack. After WWI ended in 1918, Dönitz remained in a British camp near Sheffield as a P.O.W. until July 1919, returning to Germany in 1920.
- He began his career in the Imperial German Navy (Kaiserliche Marine) before World War I. In 1918, while he was in command of UB-68, the submarine was sunk by British forces and Dönitz was taken prisoner. While in a prisoner of war camp, he formulated what he later called Rudeltaktik ("pack tactic", commonly called "wolfpack"). At the start of World War II, he was the senior submarine officer in the Kriegsmarine. In January 1943, Dönitz achieved the rank ofGroßadmiral (Grand Admiral) and replaced Grand Admiral Erich Raeder as Commander-in-Chief of the Navy (Oberbefehlshaber der Kriegsmarine).
- Karl Dönitz was een Duits admiraal en tevens de leider van de Kriegsmarine. Hij volgde Adolf Hitler op als Reichspräsident. Hiermee was hij van 1 tot 23 mei 1945 de tweede en laatste leider van Nazi-Duitsland.
