[quote]Tomorrow it is 62 years ago, that 9.343 people drowned in the Baltic seas ice cold water.
Last week I promised to proof, why we never had a greater time than now. and because of that, I have to ask you to open a wound. that wound is 62 years old tomorrow, and I'm gonna bet, that you aren't celebrating this day in any way, which is odd, because it happened in our own backyard. 115 kilometres east of Nex

Geez.. Muhammed crisis over again..

Funny stuff that was.


P.S: People die every day by thousands. So why make a fuss about a number?

Woodlouse,

After visiting your website, and reading the account of the sinking, I'm not so sure the sinking was just another act of war as you seemed to suggest.

[dcunning30]

In war time a nations ocean liners are quite often seized by the Navy for use as troop transports, hospital ships and sometimes as Light Cruisers. So unless the ship is white, with a big red cross painted all over it then it is a legitimate target.

As you previously stated, how was the sub captain to know the ship was white with red crosses at night?

You also have to consider the nature of the war on the eastern front. It was total war. The red cross on the eastern front was little more than something to aim at and ambulances in the field were armed with machineguns. So even if the ship was white with a red cross, it probably wouldn't have saved it.

I'm definately aware of that.

Saying that is a little  like shooting someone in the head at random, shrugging, and saying "he would have died eventually anyway..."


DISCAIMER: I am not making the argument that the sinking of this vessel was an act of vengeance...

I got to remember that one.
