Try watching it in English with the subtitles on as well. It's a real trip.

There is also no story, which in this case is a plus. Just following a very bad patrol, and watching it evolve. I love it.

I don't know whether it was ever translated though.:hmm:
You get pretty more details concerning 'real u-boat life' and some nice little stories about other german submarines, too.
So, if you can, go for it!!!  |
Yes, it's available in English, and it's excellent.
