The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Top Ten Allied War Crimes of World War II-- Part 1

From the Dec. 14, 2012, Listverse.

10.  Civilian Air Raids

9.  OPERATION TEARDROP--  Intelligence was received that a fleet of German U-boats with V-1 Flying Bombs was on its way to the east coast of America.  The United States and Canada sent out an anti-sub task force with four aircraft carriers and 42 destroyers.

In one month,this force sank 5 German subs and captured on other one.  They lost one destroyer.

Five crew members of the U-546 were brutally interrogated and one officer committed suicide.

It was later found that the fear of the V-1s was unfounded.
