And the German submariners themselves were the first and loudest to say it. They HATE Das Boot and Iron Coffins because they do not speak for those who know better. There was no heroism there, only capitulation to evil. A hero would have left Germany in the mid 1930's. Many did. Now wannabe Nazis worship at the altar of a petty sandbox bully whose proudest achievement was the destruction of the world's cultural and scientific pinnacle, the home of Goethe, Schumann, Hermann Hesse and Albert Einstein. They would all have been ashamed of the "honor" of the SS. You need not be patriotic to any but Germany to see that as truth.
