He was an alcoholic who Mikhail Gorbachev posthumously awarded the ‘Hero of The Soviet Union’ for his “distinguished wartime service”.

Im assuming you were not referring to the Russian boat.

im assuming you wanted to know the boat and skipper which attacked the Lusitania

this was WW1 German U-Boat U-20 under the command of Kapitänleutnant Schwieger

Modern warfare is unrelenting and cruel by it's very nature. Firebombing, sieges, blockades, deportment, military government. War is always full of tragedies, and the Lusitania is just one of many. Remember that it's a game and you aren't killing innocent people, and don't try and make others guilty about it.

I heard about the ammunation on board the Lusitania, but can't remember hearing about the Gustloff

I agree. It was a tragedy, but she was a British vessel, flying the British flag, in a war zone.... I can't fault the u-boat commander for taking the shot. I would have.

Calling him a murderer is no different than charging the USAAF or the RAF for the carpet bombings of German cities with the same offense.

correct.

perhaps one day mankind as a whole will understand that the way to settle our differences should not involve armed conflict.

unfortunately... if that ever happens it will be far into the future.
