RE: U-505 and captured U-Boat crews

<HTML>The capture of the U-505 crew by the Americans or the U110 crew by the British was not reported. They were not allowed any contact with the outside world. This is a breach of the Geneva Convention. Too bad. The alternative was to abandon Egnima and possibly lose the war or not accept the crews surrender and kill them.
Article 40 of the Geneva Convention does allow for \"Prohibitions of correspondence promulgated by the belligerents for military or political reasons\". I guess that these crews were extremely censored.</HTML>
