Re: Allied airmen rescued by German U-boats
Sounds interesting and it makes sense , earlier on when the Libs left Benghazi an other sub was spotted in the area which may have reported the begin of Ops TW to Kesselring Hdq's . Disputed is the word " he was sorry " eventhough his name may have been linked to this of a German aristocratic family . The WWII history shows that Kriegsmarine and their commanders were anything but sorry when it came to similar situations and actions . The rescue was only on purpose to gather intel about Allied movements and when all interrogations completed they all ended up in Stalags . Review the fate of the two "Maternity Ward " pilots who floated for weeks after after returning from Ploesti eventually the suffer of Jones crew on that Stalag . The war on the German side was very rarely linked to " sorries "and gestures of any type .
