I honestly enjoyed the movie years back but took into account a large slice of propaganda was also intended.

People always note the propaganda aspects of the movie, but it's not near as bad as other movies of the time. Try watching "Air Force" without cringing, or outright laughing.

I think I made the point that pretty much any war movie made during the war had a fair share of propaganda. They pretty much had to.

Here's one from the other side. No subtitles, but not hard to follow.

I really like it. I have a copy I aquired a long time ago, and now I have to find it. I could have sworn that when they arrive home from the patrol at the start of the movie, Dönitz himself was there to greet them.
