As far as Buchiem bitching about Das Boot, Have you all not read the novel? Yes as with any literary work stuff is left out, but the parts that are in the film ARE IN THE NOVEL, including the screaming crew!!!
Read the novel, it is in there. The brooding captain...in there, the boisterous crew at the hit of a torpedo...IN THERE!!!
In Iron Coffins, Werner describes the interior of the first boat he saw as Wood paneled and GRAY!!!.
Perhaps there were several schemes used over the course of the war.

Calm down! Buchheim also took a lot of photos in the war. On these photos it can be seen, that the uboat was ivory-colored (or white because of the black/white photos).
