He was awarded a Japanese ornate Samurai sword and the Oak Leaves to the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross for his actions as the commander of the Hilfskreuzer (auxiliary cruiser) (''Schiff 16''). Rogge eventually became a ''Vizeadmiral'' (vice-admiral) by the end of World War II, and, when the West German Bundesmarine was established after the war, returned to service as a ''Konteradmiral'' (rear-admiral). Rogge also was one of the few German officers of flag rank who was not arrested by the Allies after the war. This was due to the way he had exercised his command of . ==Early life== Rogge was born in Schleswig, the son of a Lutheran minister, and was himself devoutly religious.〔Gossage & Levitt 2012, p. 21.〕 Rogge was one of many German officers who were forced to apply for a German Blood Certificate, that would allow their racial background to be overlooked (he had a Jewish grandparent).〔(Kansas Press )〕 His wife, Anneliese née Frahm, committed suicide on 4 September 1939. The next day, his mother in law also ended her life willingly. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bernhard Rogge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
