The Germans offered nothing to the US for sinking the Lusitania. German government argued that Lusitania was legitimate military target because it was caring a large amount of ammunition on board, and, besides that was registered or listed as an auxiliary cruiser. And in spite of non-military passengers and neutral flags carried by Lusitania, Germans argued that she had to be destroyed, and they took off any responsibility for their action.
