Message: [QUOTE="Michael H. Standart, post: 42840, member: 79064"] I don't think any German Conspiracy could be taken very seriously as the actual history is very much against it. The U-20's encounter was a chance one and the attack was made long after the boat had submerged, with the Lucy having no idea anyone was there until the torpedo exploded in her side. I don't see how anyone then could contact a submerged submarine and a skipper working up a firing solution is going to have other things on his mind. Communicating with a ship he wants to catch by surprise isn't one of them. My bet is that if a tale like what Amyjo suggested was circulating, it was one of those tall tales that gets started in the wake of any such event. [/QUOTE]
