Germany had no submarines at the end of WWI - they were ordered to give all of them up, and the Treaty of Versailles forbade Germany from ever producing or operating submarines again. All were either sunk, scuttled, or kept as war prizes. However, with no checks in place, the German government was able to get around that little problem.

The German submarine U-99, under the command of U-Boat Captain and top German Ace Otto Kretschmer, was credited with 38 ships sunk in WWII, accounting for the bulk of his unsurpassed record of Allied tonnage sunk, making him the top U-Boat commander of the war.
