Umlaut
[edit]Among the various copyedits, I have added an 'umlaut' (two dots) above the 'O' in Dönitz's name. All the references that I have seen have his name spelt this way.
The American naval attaché
[edit]This phrase appears in para three of the 'First patrol and the sinking of the Athenia' section:
"Grand Admiral Erich Raeder and the American naval attaché..." Who was the American naval attaché? He should be named at first mention - i.e. "the American naval attaché, Hiram Z. Mickelburger" and thereafter just "Mickelburger" as Raeder is so mentioned. The trouble is , I don't know who the American naval attaché was.
Does anyone else know?
