I tried uboat.net but I just find the Hollywood version sexier...

Just kidding, the original post was an attempt at poking fun at how the movies slant history toward the intended audience (in this case it was for American movie goers). I do enjoy the real thing better (Werner's "Iron Coffins" and the U-505 story). I also enjoyed learning how the Polish broke Enigma messages from poor German coding operations like "AAA" on the wheels. I didn't learn that in high school.

Hey, but you can't beat McConaughey's handling of that boot. Too bad Hollywood didn't have Prien there to take notes.
