The Das Boot´s scenes arent all from the real life. Willembrock wasnt commanding U-96 anymore when it sank. If I recall right, U-96 was sunk in ´44/´45, yet it is ´41 in the movie. Yet that date cant be right, if they visited Vigo in real life. On November they came upon the other Uboat on the stormy weather, which is in the movie also. So, if they visited Vigo on 6th of November, they couldnt have encountered the other uboat (U-557 or 577 or something like that) in November, because they went straight to Gibraltar from Vigo.
