Currently Sept 27th 1939 in my current patrol,just entering BF33 (Dover Strait) and recieved a merchant sound contact somewhere N-NE of my position.Currently giving chase to identify contact and there is a fair chance it MAY be French heading from Calais to Dover...maybe.Now on the map France is clearly hostile (ports marked in red) and looking at the flags pullout France entered the war on the 3rd,yet those pesky Free French joined on 1st July 1940.Question,and I know it should be obvious going on the above info,can I open fire on French shipping?.I am SO desperate to bloody the nose of the French!

Cheers
