“U-37 reports: a torpedo fired at a tanker of the Kopbard type (7329) ran off in a circle and probably hit an Amphitrite submarine in the tanker’s convoy. Tanker burned out. Spanish steamer St. Carlos (300) without distinguishing marks, through concentrated gunfire. Nine torpedoes left.
“Then U-37 torpedoed French tanker Rhone and the submarine Sfax and sank the Spanish fishing vessel.”
And then, if you will read the next entry.
“We shall continue to maintain to the outside world that there is no question of a German or Italian submarine in the sea area in question being responsible for the sinkings.”
Do you still say that you did not deceive the neutrals?
WAGNER: This case is doubtless a deception, but I do not remember for what particular reason this deception was carried through.
COL. PHILLIMORE: But it is pretty discreditable, is it not? Do you regard that as creditable to the German Navy, that conduct?
WAGNER: No, this...
COL. PHILLIMORE: Did the Defendant Raeder sign the War Diary?
WAGNER: Yes.
