As for U 571... man oh man, what a bad movie that one was! As for the historical accuracy of the movie I can say only it is true that there WERE U boats in the Atlantic during the war and that would be about it.
There was only one clear case of an U Boat crew shooting deliberately at the survivors and this is the case of Eck and U 852. Apart from that, I`ve read that there are few - literally few - cases where U Boats could have been shooting at survivors. Not too much so to say. No case like that of 'Llandovery Castle' during WWI. And no case like that of 'Mush' Morton and 'Wahoo'
