You don't have to be a troll, just don't act like one, that's all. I think we got your point, and it's certainly valid to an extent; but there's a point where taunting Das Boot fans is really not inviting a healthy conversation.

There's a whole bunch of stuff in Das Boot which is rather unrealistic, and even more that's just plain unlikely. I'm always cautious about calling it 'realistic' as such. It's quite good on many aspects, as Sailor Steve noted, but you have to watch it realizing that it's still a movie.

And yea, with the Zombie look... isn't that what you look like when you live in a sardine can for a few weeks? I doubt they'd be fresh-looking, well-groomed young men. They looked exactly as I'd imagined U-boat men from reading quite a bit of literature on them (not Das Boot alone). As far as life aboard, Das Boot entirely lives up to the many accounts I've read.
