    Eh… Not really. Dontiz’ orders to the Uboat arm were that the destruction of enemy vessels was not to be hampered by life saving activities. However, there were Kriegsmarine officers that did go out of their way to help crews of merchant vessels they had sunk. Captain Hans Langsdorff of the Graf Spee was one such officer, although he was a skimmer.
