Hello,

Have you seen the 2018 series "Das Boot"?

I think that for a recent series it is actually relatively accurate. Of course some sacrifices had to be made in order to please the modern viewer, but all in all I enjoyed watching it for the good effects and visualization of U-Boat life. What I also like is that compared to movies like the original "Das Boot" or "U-505" the crews are a little more accurate age-wise (on U-96 an a little older crew might make sense, but this series is set in '42).

German viewers can watch it via Sky (I don't know about other sources, sorry).

What is your opinion on the show, if you've seen it? Give it a go, it's not as cringeworthy as I expected.

Best,
Eikson
