So, you can't really blame them for having less faith in Der Fuhrer. Hence, the anti-nazi sentiments in the movie.

As for the ending... well I found it really sad. Come on, they worked their ass off just to get home alive and then get bombed to pieces. The scene where the Captain dies as the U-Boat sinks was masterfully done. It's almost as if his life was tied to the sub.

(Oh wait, didn't Dowly already post something similar to the above paragraph? :P )

Kudos to you Wolfgang Peterson for giving us an accurate portrayal of U-boats and the futility of war (unlike some other **** movies like U-571).
Yoo ******* following me?
