Prize regulations

[Kip336]

I've searched far and wide, read through a lot of topics, but let me explain ;)


after reading a lot of KTBs on uboatarchive.com, and finding a lot of references to the price rules, I'm starting to get a basic understanding
-Ships must be stopped, interrogated, and when allowed by the rules, destroyed
- Crew must be allowed to escape into lifeboats
and more.

But..my hunger for knowledge has me wanting more

Is there a copy of the regulations somewhere? The full copy?
I'm just really curious...

Moin,

maybe you want to start a google search with these keywords "Verordnung vom 30. September 1909". That is what the German "Prisenordnung" is based on.

Most of it will be unfortunately in German language. But you will find some sense even in bot translations. And someone here will have a helping hand...

Edit: This could help you (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prize_%28law%29)

German version contains more information (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisenrecht)

Here is a little .txt with a google translation (http://www.mediafire.com/danasan)
