Not sure, but I think it might be an idea to cut the bit after the comma (five weeks before the end of the Second World War in Europe), to sharpen the hook. Maybe the word "accidentally" too. Any thoughts? Manxruler (talk) 22:43, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Alt: ... that the Norwegian steamer Kommandøren was torpedoed and sunk by the drunken crewman of a German E-boat?

New article, over 9k in prose. Hook fact sourced. Article is well sourced throughout. Probably better to go with the alt hook for simplicity. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:00, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the review. I agree that the alt is probably the best. Manxruler (talk) 07:21, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
