Documentary: The Battle of the Atlantic (2002)

If you've not seen this movie/documentary check it out.

IMO one of the better put together dvd's I have seen about U-boats and the time period. Interviews from U-boat commanders & crewmen, destroyer sailors and even merchantmen.

It was of interest to me because BE & AM are two of my favorite patrol grids. Sure you can tool around elsewhere in the game but being a VII fan I don't see much sence in sailing to far away with plenty of action closer.

I don't know if it's the same one, but i got 'The Battle of the Atlantic' as a Christmas present. It is a 3 DVD box set produced by Laurence Rees and made by the BBC. On the cover there's a freighter going down and a u-boat sailing past. The first disc is called 'The Grey Wolves'. (Sounds familiar!). Plenty of interviews from survivors from both sides.
It's the best present I've got this year (Thanks for the socks and underpants again, Ma).
If anyone out there is from Denmark go and buy it in 'Kvikly' for only 100 kr. (med dansk tekst!)
Good hunting!
