Das Boat is by far the MOST ACCURATE account of German submarine warfare.

Check the ratings out on Uboat.net in the forums section under movies to see what people in general think of all the submarine movies ever produced. :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:
It's too bad with all the money that was spent into producing U-571, that they didn't protray an accurate event during the war. But........that's Hollywood for you.

Das Boat does protray the events of the war quite accurately.

Bottom line: I have seen most of the WWII submarine movies produced and Das Boat is by far the best. To get a real feeling of what the war was like, it is best viewed using the German language for sound and the English subtitles turned on (as the movie was produced overseas). You'll need the DVD to do this (and a good bottle of wine or a case of beer). My best advice, sit back, relax and enjoy it.

Good Hunting, Erich Topp U-552

P.S. You might even discover a tactic that you can use during your next SH3 mission.
