Yes, that 3hr Battle of the Atlantic is a great documentary. I also like "The Color of War: The Silent Service" and "The Bowfin - Pearl Harbor Avenger".

I am terrified to even contemplate a night attack in GWX! They spot me just cleaning my eye glasses while submerged in the daytime! Everyone seems to be packing a gun. The escorts stay close to merchant formation. I am really scared to risk my boat like this.

In AOD, overcast/no moon/fog/heavy seas with a few km visibility was great. You would slip between a couple of escorts. You could cruise around inside the convoy looking for the best targets and then put down three big ships and zip back out to safety. Oh, the wonderous night attack!
