Bernhard Rogge (4 November 1899 – 29 June 1982) was a German naval officer of Jewish descent who, during World War II, commanded a merchant raider.
Later, he became a Konteradmiral in West Germany's navy. Rogge became a Vizeadmiral (vice-admiral) by the end of World War II, and, when the West German navy was established after the war, returned to service as a Konteradmiral (rear-admiral).
He 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 Atlantis.
