Wow, excellent article!

NB:

Other than the Eck case there is no proven intentional machine-gunning of survivors by a U-boat during the entire war

Edit: I confess I'm still woefully underinformed about Onkel Karl's trial and conviction, but I do wonder if things would've been much different had he NOT ended the war as Hitler's chosen successor as head of state. I mean, they couldn't put Hitler on trial because he was already dead (the bloody coward).
