well the entire movie was realistic fiction, therefore it was based on real events but didnt ACTUALLY happen. Of course it didnt. therefore it didnt matter if it was captured on U-110 or U-999 it wasnt based on an actual event it was based on the submarine war in general.
and yes steve i did have roughly this same conversation, but still dont hate U 571 JUST because of its inaccuracy. It wasnt that bad a movie when overlooking its historical fallacies. but to be honest the beginning was fairly accurate, when they calculated the information and all.
