HMS Torbay, not HNS. Oh well. The Torbay was involved it TWO war crimes incidents, the second one was five days later. You could look it up, if you like.

"1 Occaision when the RN gunned German seamen?" HNS Torbay(Anthony Miers),4 July 1941. Between Andros and Euboea,[2 ships] were sighted,both flying aswastika ensign and carrying German troops.Miers surfaced and sank bothvessels with gunfire,subsequently using two Lewis guns from the bridge toensure that no soldiers survived.His first lieutenant,Paul Chapman laterreported: "Everything and everybody was destroyed by one sort of gunfire oranother".[Padfield:"War Beneath the Sea"]

"U-boats machine gun Civilians" Find ONE source to back you up. Heinz Eck was the ONLY captain so charged at Nurenberg. Why should anyone here take your word on something? You are a ignorant git. You said yourself you didn't know what YEAR D-Day was! Surface raiders. Ah, so you admit you don't know squat about U-Boats and want to change the subject. Not biting. Stick to the topic, please.BTW, there is a "reply" button. Are you scared of me?

"crew of the Bismark were left to drown" That's a BIT harsh. They stopped picking up survivors when a report came in of u-boats in the area. But still. The Brirish subs also attacked any merchants they thought were supplying Germany. Iron ore from Scandinavia, for example.

"give me 1 Occaision in WW2 when the R N gunned German seamen" They didn't have to. Most of the crew of the Bismark were left to drown.Undefended civilian ships? Most had deck guns. But if a civilian ship has vital war material on board, it isn't a civilian any more, it's a combatant.I know all about the SS "City of Benares" and the children sunk by the U-48, commanded by Lieutenant Commander Heinrich Bleichrodt. Those children shouldn't have been aboard. They were safe in Wales. |
