Whilst on the topic of the film Das Boot, have a look at this review postyed on Amazon. What a plonker, if he doesn't know what to expect of submariners when ashore and cooked up in a sub for weeks on end, what does he expect. If it disgusted him so much, then why did he watch it all the way through in the first place!

Apparently she did not like the recommendations for creative uses for corks and violin strings.
After reading her responses, it is apparent that she is completely ignorant of how things actually occur in military service and is only sold on the pomp and circumstance that exists in the modern "politically correct" military. I would love to see her reaction to the book where The Old Man and the LI constantly try to one-up each other in a "freak out contest" throughout the patrol (This explains the reaction to the 2WO's U-Boat cocktail better than the movie does. The 2WO got them both). We know it is a good movie, 99.99999999999999999999 ad infinitum percent of people who watch the movie say it is good. ONE whiny Emily Post wannabe is not going to change that fact. I had thought about leaving a comment, but I remembered one of my old axioms; one cannot reason with fanatics. Let this person believe that military folk do not engage in "boonie rant" when on duty. It does not change the fact that it does occur.
