...action was over, the northern Italian squadron had never joined battle. Later eight reconnaissance planes flew out over the scene and saw hundreds of Italians on life rafts. British units came back and picked up over 900 men-and found two ways to rub into Benito Mussolini's hide his Axis commitments. They announced that there were 35 German officers, petty officers and seaman-gunners among the survivors. And the Admiralty declared: "It would have been possible to save 200 or 300 more but for attacks by German bombers on the ships engaged in the task of rescuing Italian...
