[Wustenfuchs]

Thanks for the kind words Tom, Paul and Jim. I'm not sure about any official letters of protest, however the Dresden did meet up again with the Atlantis after about nine or ten days. The captives did give a letter of protest to Captain Rogge about the harsh conditions aboard the Dresden. It resulted in slightly more food (more canned milk for the babies) and a chance for families to spend time together during the daylight hours. There was a lot of press about the ship going missing (a month with no word on her fate) but since nobody knew what had actually happened to the Zamzam there was no call for a formal protest by the United States. This certainly was hard on the families of the missing people. The Germans kept everything secret until the Dresden docked in France.
The video explains it pretty well.
