Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on May 1, 2010.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that U-30 sank the first ship in World War II on 3 September 1939 when she torpedoed the British liner Athenia, just 10 hours after Britain declared war on Germany?

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?
