Hello everyone,


I think this would be the best place to ask, because this is the only place where you can find such passionate U-boat fans. I am trying to produce a podcast in Polish about the war in the Atlantic, specifically about the Kriegsmarine's adherence to Article 22 of the London Naval Treaty.

Article 22 regulates submarine warfare and behavior towards merchant ships. Do you have or know of any materials that research this topic? I have a general idea of ​​the subject, but the general idea is not supported by any research. I often hear that the Kriegsmarine conducted unrestricted submarine warfare from September 1939. From what I know, it wasn't quite like that, and while the Germans had hopes for peace with Great Britain, they tried to stick to the rules (don't sink ships, search them, if necessary, send a signal to sink the ship, allow the crew to disembark, etc.).


I would be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks!
