| The minesweeper flotilla was in the area clearing it of mines to enable the Battleship Warspite to get closer to the French port of Le Havre to bombard the Germans who were still holding out there. The flotilla was attacked by 16 RAF rocket-firing Typhoons, of 263 and 266 Squadrons, accompanied by a Polish squadron of Spitfires. They attacked the Britomart, the Salamander and the Hussar. In just over 2 minutes two ships were burning and sinking and a third badly damaged and on fire. Men swimming in the water also came under fire from German shore batteries. A total of 78 officers and ratings were killed and 149 wounded on these two ships (The Britomart and the Hussar). Counting the dead on the other ships attacked the toll amounted to 117 Royal navy men killed. Survivors were told to keep quiet about the whole affair. A court of enquiry held 2 days later at Arromanches found that this incident was the result of 'an error in communications' from shore based naval staff. The RAF was exonerated.

| | According to your definition that you apply to the Liberty incident, this was a war crime. | | | | Jefferson Davis | | Posted: Sat Jun 09, 2007 7:14 pm Post subject: |
| Yes, Israel has been accused of war crimes for torpedoing life boats and other acts by the Liberty survivors.

Now, in the real world, crewmember sworn testimony says otherwise.
Are you claiming that the Liberty crewmembers lied under oath? | | | | Jefferson Davis | | Posted: Sun Jun 10, 2007 4:15 am Post subject: |

And the 15 crewmen our of the 294 that were only allowed to testify know everything about the attack? never mind the 60 that were denied permission to testify.
It was the shortest most truncated COI involving deaths of a large number in modern US Navy history.
It's why you are a fraud, a liar and an apologist.
Keep avoiding and diverting Mr. AIPAC. | | | | Cowboy | | Posted: Sun Jun 10, 2007 4:17 am Post subject: |

It is you, the proven fake American, who refuses to make a clear, definitive statement that the USS Liberty crewmembers did not lie under oath. | | | | | ©2002-2009 WarWithoutEnd.co.uk |
