FLOTTENRICHTER KRANZBÜHLER: Can you remember, with the help of this extract from the war log and on the strength of your own recollection of the commander’s report, the exact details of this incident?
GODT: Originally the U-boat when submerged encountered a number of vessels escorting trawlers close to Cape Wrath. It tried to torpedo one of the trawlers.

FLOTTENRICHTER KRANZBÜHLER: Oh yes, Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: Well then, all he can tell us is what the commander told him.
FLOTTENRICHTER KRANZBÜHLER: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, have him do that then.
