<HTML>Fin,
Actually, that\'s what I meant. hee, hee. Certainly the Nazis wouldn\'t accept that
at all (and probably send him to a camp of some sort) but he was almost definitely court martialed in a naval court, so the Nazi beliefs, while certainly in the back of some their minds at the time probably didn\'t come into play. I imagine if something similar had happened to a U-boat officer in 1915, the punishment would have been about the same. I\'m sorry I was unclear before.
