Hello Tony,

after having read your paper this is very interesting subject having dealt with Auftragstaktik myself during my time of service with the West German Air force, anti air craft Nike Hercules, in the sixties and seventies trying to comply with sometimes contradictory orders coming down from Brussels on the one hand and the others from higher headquarters of the German chain of command plus getting other instructions from our American friends stationed permanently at our base, “Babysitters”.

Anyway, are you restricting your research of the German uboat war fare to 1939 – 40 or beyond, if so the already mentioned incident in 1941 of Reuben James sunk by U 552 springs to mind.

Telford Taylor “The Anatomy of the Nuremberg Trials”, p. 404 alludes to the Athenia case when he tries to analyse in his book in 1992 the outcome of the trial against the Mayor War Criminals giving extent coverage to Dönitz`s part p. 399 et.seq.

You all have a nice day.
Sincerely Yours
VEK
