In the novel Das Boot, Buchheim talks about a captain who shot up the life boats before they were lowered. Anybody know the historical validity of that story?

I think it is the U 515 under Werner Henke
Henke was shot trying to escape from a POW camp.

I will try to find it

Sorry wrong name it is Heinz-Wilhelm Eck of U 852 together with 2 of his officers

From wiki;
'The sinking Peleus left a large debris field, amongst which were a number of survivors clinging to rafts and wreckage. This field would have betrayed the presence of the U-852 to aircraft and shipping patrolling the area, so Eck then controversially decided to destroy the wreckage with the use of hand grenades and automatic weapons.
As a result of this action, all but three of Peleus's crew perished.'

There were plenty of cases of U-boats helping survivors of ships they sank. Offen at great risk to themselves. So don't juge all by the action of a few.

Salty Splash, you need to resize your signature file in a photo editor (Microsofts Picture Manager or PaintShop Pro would do it I think).

The Forum FAQ suggests '120 high, 400 wide. Max file size is 100KB'.

I suppose that is pixels.

It would need to be saved in .jpg format before you resized I think, if it isn't already.

Just had a look at your riverboat Lady Elgar whoo! luvly! Good blog

I'm pretty sure we all know it's a game. Some of us were simply talking about real life events.
