It was a fascinating time. The atmosphere of SH3 is so different from SH4--part of the genius of SH3 is that the resignation and sense of doom flows through the game, giving the game an authentic atmosphere. The art, the colors, the lighting, everything combines to create something more than the individual parts.
Everything is centered around the crew, skilled, reliable, reluctantly serving a state which is in the grip of evil, they will do their duty as well as they possibly can. SH3 is a tribute to courage for a patently awful cause. And you leave the game understanding that these men were admirable.
I just brought the big picture that no historian to date that I know of has put to words: that the use of U-Boats was but one of a collection of fatal mistakes of the Third Reich, any one of which was sufficient to ensure defeat. And that the use of U-Boats alone would spell the doom of Germany in that war. From that perspective their abilities and courage resulted in a better world, for the Allies AND for Germany. They didn't die in vain.
