Which is why
any movie except a documentary should not be assumed to be a valid reference source for historical research.
And yet, for example, the periscope graticle used by most SH3 GUIs is borrowed from
Das Boot, not from a surviving example of a WW2 vintage U-boat periscope. I suspect that's because it's what gamers expect to see.
