Anyways, very interesting find.
Surely you have seen the photo from Nurnberg in the 30's with thousands of uboats with their periscopes in a nazi salute, the tanks too with their raised guns and them planes lifting their right wing. (Yeah I too find it 'interesting', this notion that machines had concepts of ideology built into them and it does tick me off ever so slightly).

As for the link: Nice find! Also, I had no idea Spielberg rented the mock-up from the Das Boot production. Nice little piece of movie history too that.
