One story is forgotten in all of this though. That of the allied sailors who had their ships torpedoed from under them. The ones who had lost their lives at sea trying to deliver vital supplies. What about their story? There' no movie about that, so you never hear about it. Ultimatly the Uboats of WW2, sailed under the flag of the third riech, but create a movie and present it in just the right way, and you can make people overlook that.

True. All I've seen about this "other side" was a website on which some guy collected stuff about the convoy his gradfather's ship sank in. It's been said in Buchheim's book as well, I can't quote it right now but it has something like: how brave must these men be. some of them lost their ship four or five times, got picked up by an escort and did join another ship right away.
