Lifeboats

Quote from uboataces"Donitz stood trial for war crimes and the Laconia order was used as a basis of indictment against him. Most surprisingly, he received support from some of the most respected figures in the US Navy, Admital Chester Nimitz who came to his defense and said that the United States had operated under the same engagements of unrestricted warfare. Despite the evidence of allied practice, Donitz was convicted of war crimes by the Nuremberg Tribunal and sentenced to 11 and a half years in prison. The U-boat crews deeply resented this action and felt that they were being prosecuted for the threat they had posed to the allies rather than for war crimes."

thats pretty bad that happened!... he tried to save all those people and went to jail for it!

Yes he did.
But bear in mind that the Allies investigated extensively after the war looking for this sort of thing, and this is the only documented case they could find.
