<HTML>Hi everyone,
Not being too familiar with these accusations, I thought I would post this as I\'ve never heard of this before either.
\"Captain Gallery wrote in an article that Capt. Henke was responsible for sinking an English passenger ship; the shooting of civilian survivors (men, women and children) in the water and in lifeboats; and abandoning the rest to death. He was branded a war criminal and wanted by the British. However, this information is being questioned\"
Anyone know more about this? Interesting subject I reckon.
Best wishes to all,
Fin
P.S. I got that off of a website dealing with U-515.
