You forgot to mention the ugly buisness of the "survivors". |
Erm...yes...but we were talking about the resistance of the ship itself and not the crew.But on a side note I don't really understand why the captain didn't want to save those poor guys. |
Uboats were forbiden to pick up survivors after the Laconia incident
It was pretty much frowned on before though they would give assistance if possible
