Their drafts are quite high, so I suppose they are at a low capacity, and two big liners that travel in a convoy must be confiscated ships ready to be used as troopships, but I retrieved the specific order: 03/09/1939 "By order of the Fuhrer: No hostile action is to be taken against passenger ships sailing independently or in convoy. Operation orders Para VIa remain in force against merchant shipping. BdU" so I'll abide, thanks for your time. I'm supposed this was in response to the Athenia incident. Later in the war, I hope the situation will evolve differently. Thanks for the help guys!
