U 505 Crew
While it is admitted that the crew were not treated in accordance with strictest compliance with Geneva Convention, many of the comments are unjustified. The fact that the capture was discussed in a widely distributed Saturday Evening Post (US magazine) in early August of 1945 - it is clear that they families of the crew were not kept uninformed for any great length of time. Because a "state of war" still existed between US and Germany at that time, there is very little on which to base serious protests.
