RE: Wilhelm Gustloff Revisited

<HTML>Hi Max,
I don\'t want to hurt your patriotic feelings, but I have to advise you on certain misinformations:
1) The \"Wilhelm Gustloff\" was not in a convoy, she was travelling alone.

2) She carried up to 85% refugees and wounded personnel

3) She was clearly marked as a Hospital Ship

4) It really was a \"peace of cake\" to sink her, there was no warship around for miles,

5) Marinescu wanted even more recognition for his \"bravery\" and was dumped by the Russian Navy and ended up as a drunk.
