COL. PHILLIMORE: Well, it is the same thing, to some extent, is it not; ships’ crews, once they are torpedoed, become survivors?
GODT: Then they would be survivors; yes.
COL. PHILLIMORE: Will you now answer the question? Was it not your intention at this time to destroy the crews, or survivors if you like, if you could?
GODT: If you mean survivors; the question can refer to two things. As regards survivors—no.
COL. PHILLIMORE: If you are not prepared to answer the question, I will pass on.
Do you remember the case of Kapitänleutnant Eck?
GODT: I only heard of the case of Kapitänleutnant Eck from American and British officers, and only after I came to Germany.
COL. PHILLIMORE: Do you know that he was on his first voyage when his U-boat sank the Peleus and then machine-gunned the survivors? Do you know that?
GODT: Yes.
COL. PHILLIMORE: He had set out from the 5th U-boat flotilla at Kiel where Möhle was briefing the commanders, had he not?
