HI TO EVERYONE IN FORUM
THIS IS MY FIRST POST ON SUB SIM RADIO ROOM FORUM. I AM REALLY ENJOYING LEARNING MY SH3 VERSION. AS I BOUGHT IT AT A CAR BOOT SALE
FOR £1.50 STILL IN IT'S PLASTIC WRAPPER(A REAL BARGAIN!!

).I AM STARTING TO FEEL I HAVE MISJUDGED THE SUBMARINER ALL THESE PAST YEARS BELIEVING THEM SNEAKY AND DISHOUNOURABLE CHAPS UNLIKE OUR FINE BRITISH SEAMEN WHO TOOK TO THE SEA IN DESTROYERS AND BATTLESHIPS AND FOUGHT IN MORTAL COMBAT LIKE REAL MEN!.
HOWEVER MY CHANGE IN HEART AND MIND BEGAN WHEN I SAW FOR THE FIRST TIME RECENTLY WOLFGANG PETERSON'S AWESOME EPIC "DAS BOOT".

THE FILM TOLD OF THE SHEER TERROR OF TAKING A SUBMARINE INTO HOSTILE WATERS AND COMPLETING A MILITARY OBJECTIVE.AND AS A STORY ABOUT HUMANKIND RELATED ITS MESSAGE ABOUT THE LOYALTY AND COMMITMENT THE SUBMARINE CREW HAVE TO EACH OTHER AND THEIR CAPTAIN IN DISCHARGING THEIR DUTIES NO MATTER WHAT THE DANGER.AND SO WHEN I AM TAKING TO THE SEAS IN SH3 I COUNT MYSELF FORTUNATE THAT I WILL NEVER HAVE TO DO IT FOR REAL BECAUSE AS I AM SO NEW TO IT AND STILL LEARNING THE BASICS I RECKON I'D BE
FISH FOOD FIRST TRIP OUT!

ANYWAY THATS MY FIRST POST LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK GOOD

WELCOME ABOARD!

I think you'll find most of us here have watched Das Boot dozens of times. Some of us even saw it in the theater almost 30 years ago.

So, have you seen the "Original, Uncut" 5-hour version?

Welcome to Subsim!

Also: the uncut version rocks.

Welcome to SubSim. I think you'll find that everyone on the forum is very familiar with the complete Das Boot.
