<HTML>Hi John
Horses for courses and everyone is different.
Some will stop and some won\\\'t and some will even continue to kill their helpless enemy.
You say i would\\\'nt get a command?
Maybe\\\'but it seems then half the allied escort commanders in ww2 would have had no commands or even U-Boat commanders like Hartenstein
I thought nazi Germany was crushed to make the world a better place and i think my example of humanity would be what i would want the victors to be like and not yours.
Even last night i was reading an account of an escort group who spared no expense or effort to rescue a U-boat crew who had just torpedoed and sunk one of their number.I suppose you would have sacked every captain in the escort group?
I cannot say what i would be like in the heat of battle and thats a fair comment\\\'but i know the difference between right and wrong and i don\\\'t think that would change.The report of a supposed threat\\\'would not dissuade me\\\'but a real threat then i would disregard the survivors until the threat was dealt with.
Anyway it\\\'s all supposition and unlikely ever to be put to the test.
Regards Dave
