As someone already posted here, there was no special "officer´s cabin" or wardrobe. SH5 modells the complete VII-type U-Boat except for the toilets. In the movie Das Boot you get a somewhat false impression of the size, because they built their interior model in a bigger scale and used a wide-lense for filming. The officer´s table (eating scenes) was actually the captain´s bed serving as seat and a small table that was installed there. So no privacy, no separate rooms. In Das Boot you can see how cramped they were seated, when people tried to go through one of the officers always had to stand up.

I´ve been to Laboe and visited the real thing, and I would say the model in SH5 is quite accurate.

Cheers, AS
