It wasn't mean to be accurate. That's for what History books are for. That was just a "How would have WW2 been if it were a RTS game with its chat room recorded?". And for me, it's quite good. :D

Sadly, this may be the only way history may be soon taught in our High Schools. :roll:

Honestly, U-571 was used as a history lesson? Oh man, how wrong is that. You know I was thinking about my High School Junior Year History teacher...you know, it never dawned on me at the time, but she sure taught history with her own political agenda.

I saw u-571 when I was 12 or 13, so I may have to see it again to understand what is so deeply wrong.

This is really funny, I think I posted something about it a few weeks ago after a friend emailed it to me...

Whats wrong with watching U-571 in a history class? If the class was studying the battle of the Atlantic, then its relevent, even if its not accurate. They probably werent using it as a lesson, just taking a break to watch a movie.

Because:

(1) It is a cheap, shallow cop-out. How about teaching history properly. A tutor who does their job right can get the relevant points over in an interesting way without recourse to trite Hollywood drivel.

(2) Kids today already seem to 'learn' their history (and almost everything else, for that matter) from Hollywood. Any teacher worth their salt should be fighting this trend to their dying breath.
