Yes the movie is fictional, but if you notice in the movie S-33's bow is straight up and the conning tower is too thin and here is why the U-571 welcomed them it was rainy so you could not see the boat clearly.
Here's some pics.
You can see it is the bow of a S-boat and the conning tower is to thin to be a U-boat. But the perfect size for a S-boat.
