Laconia incident
Add title description
The Laconia incident was a series of events surrounding the sinking of a
British troopship in the Atlantic Ocean on 12 September 1942, during World
War II, and a subsequent aerial attack on German and Italian submarines
involved in rescue attempts. RMS Laconia, carrying some 2,732 crew,
passengers, soldiers, and prisoners of war, was torpedoed and sunk by U-156,
a German U-boat, off the West African coast. Operating partly under the
dictates of the old prize rules, the U-boat commander, Korvettenkapit�
;0�1n
Werner Hartenstein, immediately commenced rescue operations. U-156 broadcast
their position on open radio channels to all Allied powers nearby, and were
joined by the crews of several other U-boats in the vicinity.
Quick Facts: incident, Date …
After surfacing and picking up survivors, who were accommodated on the
foredeck, U-156 headed on the surface under Red Cross banners to rendezvous
with Vichy French ships and transfer the survivors. En route, the U-boat was
spotted by a B-24 Liberator bomber of the US Army Air Forces. The aircrew,
having reported the U-boat's location, intentions, and the presence of
survivors, were then ordered to attack the sub. The B-24 killed dozens of
Laconia's survivors with bombs and strafing attacks, forcing U-156 to cast
their remaining survivors into the sea and crash dive to avoid being
destroyed.
Rescue operations were continued by other vessels. Another U-boat, U-506,
was also attacked by US aircraft and forced to dive. A total of 1,113
survivors were rescued; however, 1,619 were killed – mostly Italian POWs.
The event changed the general attitude of Germany's naval personnel towards
rescuing stranded Allied seamen. The commanders of the Kriegsmarine were
shortly issued the Laconia Order by Grand Admiral Karl D�0�
2nitz, which
specifically forbade any such attempt and ushered in unrestricted submarine
warfare for the remainder of the war.
The B-24 pilots mistakenly reported they had sunk U-156, and were awarded
medals for their "bravery". Neither the US pilots nor their commander were
punished or investigated, and the matter was quietly forgotten by the US
military. During the later Nuremberg trials, a prosecutor attempted to cite
the Laconia Order as proof of war crimes by D�0�2nitz and his
submariners.
The ploy backfired and caused much embarrassment to the United States after
the incident's full report had emerged. |
