And yes the movie was made in the 80s, Kiwi_2005, but it was all taken from a book written in the 70s, by a man who was on real u-boats in the 40s.

In the real U96 aswell.  There was a thread on ubi.com forums, where some guy posted photos aboard the U96 taken by the Buchheim.
Too bad I couldn´t find the thread, those photos were amazing!
Edit: Here´s the link to that thread: http://forums.ubi.com/groupee/forums...743#8631071743
Every photo expect that big explosion is taken aboard the U-96
Ps. Before someone will start the "That´s not the U96! Theres no laughing swordfish"- thing:

And just think; in his pictorial book "U-Boat War", it's said he took *5000* photos.......unfortunately, only a fraction survived the war, afterwards, etc.
That's what we're seeing; that fraction.
