Thanks for all the great info, guys.

I didn't know that they modeled 'Das Boot' after a 9B. I get a distinct feeling they are inside a 7C when I watch the movie - at least in reference to SH3.

Then again SH3 might be inaccurate, or they have kept the larger space of the 9B while trying to model the gauges, radio room etc. after the 7C?

Anyway that 'behind the scenes' film on the DVD was quite interesting (although short). How they all had to practise for weeks on how to move quickly inside the cramped boat, and yes, the camera crew had a hard time finding suitable places to film. But as you remember even they run through the boat, filming while they jump thourhg those small hatches. Pretty well done.
