Thanks, Sam. This shows that not every warrior wields a spear. And it also shows that men can be humane even in war.

He then told us he was sorry some men were killed and he gave us bread and sausage and told us which way the nearest land was. (Note - This was probably Kapitänleutnant Heino Bohmann - U88, Bergen's 11th U-Flotilla - who had been poised to attack the ship when she was struck by Luftwaffe bombs. It is unclear whether this U-boat, or U703 also stalking the ship, actually fired torpedoes at her).

Worth repeating.
