Oh well. May go see it or wait for Bluray. Hope it is not SJW'd to death.
Reading "Das Boot" for the first time too. Fascinating and scary stuff.
Thanks for all you guys do keeping the history alive.

Its not SJWed to death but the U-boat tactics are very "hollywood"
still enjoyable though, they did not make it for our community that is clear
The uboat commanders manual states that the periscope should not be out of the water longer than a fist, yet in this movie its sticking about 6 feet out of the water. i guess to tell the audience that "HEY LOOK I AM A SUB!" LOL
