I found the article headlined Waging war in the islands (The Oban Times, Thursday May 17) very interesting.
I have subsequently done some basic research about the sinking of the SS Belgian Prince which, as described, was clearly a war crime with the murder of its crew as reported, if it is a true account. I can find no record of investigations into this accusation. Was the detained British captain ever released from German captivity? Perhaps he might have added vital information.
The German crew and captain do not seem to have been brought to trial. Apparently the submarine surrendered to the Japanese at the end of the war.
