Re: Breach of international rules of war?
Thanks Graham
Graf Spee's Arado certainly did open fire on at least one British vessel, slightly wounding at least one person! Very interesting Brian

Re: Breach of international rules of war?
I believe that achieving surprise under false colours is permitted as a "ruse de guerre" but as Graham says you must fight under your own flag.
Certainly this had been custom and practice in naval warfare for centuries.
