At the time it was seen as heroic as not only was it the height of the battle of the Atlantic but was a recruitment boon as witnessed by the poster. I suppose shooting an unarmed man is seen as cold but that U-boat had 10 patrols and sunk many ships. Most didn't even see it coming. Was that heroic either? Sauce of the goose.
