Yeah everybody in the Kriegsmarine was a Nazi.
Who told you this?
Films like U-571?
No, he should believe the standard German movie formula like das boot. Demonstrate again and again that the protagonists hated the regime and were just doing their jobs... you know, like 99% of the French were in the resistance
Bottom line is that while there may be stereotypes in US movies, there are equal stereotypes in German movies.

I didn't buy SH3 for the same reason, I had no desire to roleplay a nazi sub. <--note I didn't say the crew were all nazis, but the sub belonged to, and did the bidding of them. Had zero appeal to me (I have Il-2, and many other ww2 flight sims, and I've never flown a german plane in those, either (actually, not quite true, I have flown finnish 109s)).

I certainly would have bought SH3 had there been even a single class of DD or DE to play on convoy escort duty.
