Re: Breach of international rules of war?

Hi Nick, Adriano and others

This is all very interesting but my question concerned Graf Spee's Arado, which uniquely wore British/French roundels under its wings, with German markings on top (and presumably on fuselage), to deceive merchantmen plying their trade into believing its was a British or French machine - and that it did open fire on a merchant ship in this guise - I believe this is a slightly different scenario to most of those discussed, however interesting.

Still hoping to be enlightened!

Cheers
Brian
