"Das Boot" also shows the bench, but the question here is where they got their information about the interior? The electric engine room in "Das Boot" does not show the switching cabinets that were installed in the type VIIc, but the older version of the VIIb. So perhaps, they had another source?

Best regards, MCHALO12.
Hi MCHALO12,

Yes that was my feeling with the electric engines but everything appeared original.

Here from 6:14 you can see that the guys are actually sitting (on the bench):



If you switch to 480p you can even see the bench in the lower right corner

Great diving angle! The Wochenschau is always great to watch by the way.
