It was no sniper... it was Bernard fooling around with the periscope...

With the war crimes comment.

Sickening Dornitz (sp?) was sent down for 11 years. Thats totally bang out of order... That American Air Force Captain but a bomb into a lifeboat bn towed by a U Boat...

Its sickening to know they were sent down. The SS sure, attacks on civilians is a war crime. But history is written by the victors...it jsut dumb sucks that they wanted revenge at the courts, becuase they couldnt get it as sea.....

As for a hospital ship. I wouldnt open up. Mainly b/c it may have Kameraden onboard.

Annoyed me so much reading about the attack on the U-Boats carrying the red crosses and helping all those survivors.

You can set merchant ships' cargoes to Freight, Ammo, and Fuel in the mission editor, and I doubt that any mod maker would set the Hospital Ship to carry anything other than "Freight" (a catch-all term for non-volatile cargoes). The explosion was probably either the ship's own fuel supply or a boiler explosion. Boiler explosions were sometimes violent enough to break a ship in half, and a submarine crew might mistakenly think it was ammunition exploding. Sometimes when I hit a ship carrying Freight the explosion is just as violent as the one for a vessel carrying Ammo or Fuel.
