As you know I´m working on a Single Mission Campaign pack.
I'm starting to work on a DasBoot mission for this pack. The idea is to reproduce the movie saga...but after a short research on the net I discovered that a lot of things aren´t historically correct on the movie. See this (from wikipedia):

Criticism
...Even though the beginning and the end of the movie occur in the port of La Rochelle, it does not correspond historically. The submarine base in La Rochelle was not functional before November 1941, and at the time of the movie the port was dried up.Moreover, none of the British fighter-bombers of late 1941 to early 1942 had the range to bomb La Rochelle. While Saint-Nazaire was the base used in the novel, the film was changed to La Rochelle because its appearance had not changed to such a large degree in the years following World War II...

I´m very inclined to start the mission at SaintNazaire, the historical real base for U-96...also the end of the history must vary as it is an open ended single mission...if the player achieve to make the Gibraltar crossing safely or with few damage, his last destination, after carry out his patrol mission on Rommel's supply route, will be La Spezia (even it being an Italy base at that time...)

Just as a tease, the mission crew will have the same movie characters as possible and the mission will be slipt in two sequencial SM. The first part before the ressuply meeting at Vigo and the second part after that until the end.

So, what is your opinion about the departure place? Please post also any other idea/comment that you want to share about this mission.

Thanks!
