BiographyNikolaus zu Dohna-Schlodien was born in Mallmitz (today Małomice, Poland) to Alfred zu Dohna-Schlodien (1849–1907) and Margarethe née von der Hagen (1845–1932).[1] Dohna-Schlodien joined the German Imperial Navy in 1896, became a Second Lieutenant in 1899 and First Lieutenant in 1902.[1] Immediately after the Boxer Rebellion he served on {{SMS|Tiger}} in East Asia in 1901/02 and became the Commander of the Kanonenboot {{SMS|Tsingtau||2}} in 1910-12. In 1913 he became the Navigation officer of {{SMS|Posen||2}} and was promoted to a Korvettenkapitän.[2] World War IIn 1915, after the outbreak of World War I, the banana freighter Pungo of the F. Laeisz line was reconstructed as a minelayer and armed merchantman, renamed SMS Mowe, and placed under Dohna’s command.[3] Through his success as commander of the Möwe, Dohna and his crew became popular war heroes like the crews of {{SMS|Wolf|auxiliary cruiser|2}} (commanded by Karl August Nerger) and {{SMS|Seeadler|1878|2}} (commanded by Felix von Luckner). A motion picture was made in 1917 about Dohna's exploits,[4] and he was appointed naval adjutant to the German emperor, Wilhelm II. Later lifeAfter World War I Dohna-Schlodien commanded a Freikorps in the Silesian Uprisings and retired from the Navy in 1919. He worked as a merchant in Hamburg and moved to Baierbach in the 1930s, where he died in 1956. He married Hilde von Laffert, the widow of one of his good friends and colleagues, Captain Hans von Laffert, commander of {{SMS|Leopard|auxiliary cruiser|2}} in the Action of 16 March 1917. Hilde had one daughter, Marion von Laffert, and Nikolaus and Hilde had two additional daughters together, Hildegarde and Margaret. Dohna-Schlodien was well remembered and respected by British naval officers. He always made sure to rescue every last survivor of any ships that he had sunk. When the Allies had invaded the Bavarian area, the Dohna-Schlodien family were treated with respect. Special instructions had been given by Allied generals to not interfere with the family and to allow them to remain in their home unfettered during the invasion.{{citation needed|date=August 2010}} Decorations and awardsNikolaus Graf Dohna-Schlodien was one of only two German officers of the First World War who received the highest military awards of the five main German states (the other German officer was Karl August Nerger):
