Lusitania?
I think it has to do more with how we view the enemy. Some of us on this board were on the side of the alies. We see tragadies like the Lusitania as an atrocity and not a sinking of an enemy ship. The same goes for the sinking of the Gustloff. I think both were great losses in both lives and history.
