If you want a good sub movie, keep hollywood out of it.
Perfect example was U-571.
Take excellent details, talented actors, then FRACK it all up. You can still enjoy the action if you can just remeber it is based on fantasy. Alchohol helps.
back to topic - While this incident is no shinning example of heroics, I wouldn't dwell on it as the war was full of bitter moments. Capt Walker wasn't exactly known for treating German survivors with mercy. There is also an incident in the Pacific where a US sub captain ordered Jap survivors shot instead of rescued.
