Here it is:
"In addition,none of us engineering officers in real life would have had the talent and the abilities of the chief engineer in that film - truly a superman of our profession - otherwise we would have lost very few boats during the the war, and I, for one, am still puzzled as to how he got that damaged boat back to the surface. While the film was true to life in many of its aspects, especially the depiction of everyday life on a U-boat and also with respecto to the caracters portrayed, most of the battle scenes were overdramatized and defy any logic."
I think this end the das boot references in the book, but I can be sure.
By the way, the name of the book:
Another Place, Another Time.
A U-boat Officer's Wartime Album.
