Upon entering the Deutsche Reichsmarine in 1938, Leutnant (W.) Siegfried “Wolf” Crunch was assigned to the Torpedoboote “Aufschlagspritzer”, as assistant to the Besonderen Offizier T.O. (Torpedo Officer).

At the onset of war he was promoted and transferred to the Unterwasser-waffen branch as the political officer of Unterseeboote (U-boat) 133, which became notorious for its high tonnage of mostly unarmed cargo vessels (and several neutral ships), after he had taken command following the suspicious death of the ship’s Captain.

Assuming the field rank of Kapitan-leutnant (W.) (which was never confirmed), he soon began a reign of undersea terror and treachery unmatched in the war. Labled a “rogue” by German Naval HQ, his reckless brutality eventually caused his crew to mutiny, during which he managed to scuttle his submarine, at the loss of all hands, while making his way to an Argentinian trawler on a life raft.

Still a young man, he quickly amassed a fortune in South America, allegedly through the use of slave labor, and later was instrumental in the plot to assassinate Juan Peron.

Relocating to the United States in the early 1960’s, he was fired from his job at Kellogg’s for wanting to put sugar frosting on corn flakes, which they deemed “unhealthy”. But his invention of a secret process to keep cereal crunchy, even in milk, redeemed him with the breakfast-food industry and the rest is history.
