Re: British submarine H.5 sinking

Payment of the bounty based upon an assessment of the numbers of U-boat men killed, was a standard, if unsavoury British practice.

Financial inducements were designed to persuade British and allied merchants (and auxiliary patrol) to take the initiative at a time when the U-bootfahrer were in the ascendant. When it comes to H5, this particular morale-boosting effort cost the lives of a fine crew.
