The Lusitania
7 May 1915 — U-20 torpedoes the liner off the Irish coast: 1,198 civilians drown, 128 of them American. The dead of the submarine war deserve their own memory — and the outrage begins the countdown on American neutrality.
This is one scene of Chapter 6 — The Slowest Weapon in The Great War, 1914–1918.
