Hello everybody, @ Aberto Virtuani, you wrote : Had Bismarck survived, inflicted losses and damaged British interests, Leach and Wake-Walker would have surely been submitted to inquiry and court martial for letting her slip. They were just saved by the sinking of Bismarck without any further loss. N...

Hello everybody, @ Wadinga, it is funny to see the different destiny of RearAdm Wake-Walker and Capt Phillips. The first one defended by the Admiralty on the many occasions he " demonstrated " his naval competences, ... going from being subject to a court martial to a medal in few weeks, ....

Hello everybody, @ Dunmunro, I see that nothing will change your stubborn and blind opinion, ... just like in other cases. You wrote : "The case is dismissed before it can ever go to trial because it fails even the prima facie test that there was wrong doing." If that was the case, we were...
