It's a collection of almost 40 of my favorite (along with some completely mundane but still interesting) photos from Lothar-Gunther Buchheim's 1976 photo essay U-Boat War. Hopefully you've never seen most of them before.

Enjoy!

Those photos are just awesome.

The Depth charge attack shot brings it all home.

Looks like the boats took a good shaking, which SH5 completely lacks. It would appear Das Boot got a lot right. No surprises seeing that Willenbrach, the commander of the real U96 was there during the filming.

The depthcharge shake mod for SH3 by ZMC is great! I don't know the file structure for SH5 but if it's the same all you have to do is edit the cameras.dat file and change the 4 MechShocksPendulum values.

Some fantastic pictures there. Particularly Like "In to the storm", "Riders on the storm" and "redezvous", speaking of which, how the hell could they resupply in seas like that??
