Okay, I was talking about
Das Boot and you were talking about
U-Boot Krieg (
U-Boat War). Two different books. I have them both, and both are great in their own way. Yes indeed, not only did Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock survive the war, but he commanded a freighter and a nuclear reseach ship, and then served as technical advisor for the movie.

I separate films from books myself to me they a two very different forms of entertainment I never expect a film to be just like the book because they simply can not be for simple reason that each reader sees in their mind what they read in a different way.In a film you are forced to see the film writers and directors view of the events in the film along with their creative license.

Oh, of course, and I agree. I was just pointing out the differences in this particular case.
