<HTML>Unfortunately the Battle of the Atlantic allowed no room for humanitarian feelings. Shipwercked mariners were rarely picked up by their own side, to do so would have jepordised the lives of many more. Veterans of the battle still speak with regret today about having to do this, but if such rescues had been attempted, the casualty rates would have been much higher.</HTML>
