Very dynamic, powerful piece! Can't believe he only got four years in jail! That's absolutely disgusting. Thank you for sharing this interesting piece of work.

This is an amazing true story, Aussie. Your poem tells the events of this despicable deed very well. I can't believe his punishment was only 4 years. Very powerful and informative poem. :) Tina

Four years! What a farce unless he was ordered by his superiors, then as a soldier he had to comply.You have a very dynamic picture here and the story is chilling to say the least. Thanks for sharing. Honeycomb.

Thank you Honeycomb, apparently he had seen the ship and knew it was a Hospital ship, made no difference. Cheers, K.

That UBoat captain literally got away with murder. That's the way it looks to me. A sad story told in this well written poem. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you my friend; murder is the word for it - innocents lost their lives under the protection of the Geneva convention. Cheers, Kace.

Excellent acrostic form and you give a voice to those who died on this ship. My father served three years of combat in WWII so I enjoy all poetry about this era.

Aussie my friend, in so few lines you captured a significant part of history that reflect mankind's recklessness at the height of war; great rhyme and rhythm and I agree the sentence should have been death.

A very nice acrostic, and very informative. I hadn't heard of this incident, so it was very interesting to me. Great artwork, too.
