U-Boat Commanders Told To Shoot Any Survivors Of Torpedoed Ships Nuernberg, Jan. 16 (U.PJ German U-boat commanders who rescued torpedoed merchant ship crews off the American coast Instead of shooting them were sharply criticized by the naval high command, a witness told the war crimes trial today. Lieut. Commander Karl-Heinz Moehle, a briefing officer at the Kiel submarine base, said Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz had ord ered all allied survivors shot in the sea. He said Doenitz called rescue of seamen in the shallow waters off the United States "particularly regretful." Doenitz scowled at Moehle from the defendants' box. Moehle reaffirmed testimony given yesterday that U-boats car ried specific orders to kill sur vivors. He said one submarine commander was denounced for failing to shoot five allied air men he sighted on a raft in the Bay of Biscay. Moehle called the Doenitz order a "very ticklish matter" but said he knew of no com mander who ever refused to carry lt out because it con flicted with his conscience. Under cross examination by Doenitz's attorney, Otto Kranz- buehler, Moehle said the admir al's orders were issued after an allied air attack In 1942 on a submarine attempting to rescue survivors. Moehle claimed he sank 20 ships while commanding a U boat before he took a shore Job in 1941. He said he never had rescued any survivors. "Many of my sinkings were out of convoys or on the high seas, and rescue was Impossible," he said.
