<HTML>Hi Saskia,
Yes I see your point of view, but It would be meaningless to shot them. And if I could take them as prisoners I would, otherwise I would give them as much help as I could even if that meant that they would make it home safely.
The war at sea, in my opinion, was not about killing the enemy. That would make no difference what so ever for the outcome of the war. It\'s not like the enemy would run out of sailors if a shot them. My duty would be to sink as many freighters as I possibly could.
Besides, shooting prisoners is always a bad idea, since it demoralises your own men. That goes for all service branches, not just the navy.
