Thanks Robo! This movie totally captures the feel of being in a U-boat in WWII, and it is also best viewed in its ORIGINAL German as this movie WAS filmed in German and English subs were added..the dubbed version just doesn’t do this justice, this movie loses something when you watch it dubbed so my advice is watch it in its original form, German with english subs. I grew up watching this movie with my Dad who is a WWII buff and this is one of his faves as well. As movies in the submarine genre go, this is one of the BEST ever made imo. Those U-boats were a LOT smaller than you think and this movie really captures that, and it focuses on the mindset of the sailors in the boat, the real fear at having depth charges dropped all around you, the psychological trauma it left these poor young soldiers with…anyways, i highly recommend this to any war movie fan..this is one of the few movies where you will actually be rooting for these guys by the end even though this is filmed from the german side, not the allies…just watch it and you will understand. a SOLID 10/10 for this WWII classic. Jurgen Prochnow is AMAZING and absolutely nails the role of the haunted U-boat Captain.
