Amazing how he could have hanged for this if he did his job for the other side.
"Amazing"? More like business as usual. Victor's justice, y'know. By the same token, Admiral Lockwood should have been prosecuted for doing the same thing in the Pacific that Dönitz did in the Atlantic, executing unrestricted submarine warfare.
Barbarities happen in war. The losing side rarely has enough power left to enforce its own justice. This is a sad fact of history.
