Except of course for Thomsen's big scene...

Is the Das Boot sound mod the one that also puts all the music in from the movie soundtrack in place of the stock and/or GWX game soundtrack? I had that running once but found there was way too much background music playing for too much of the game for my taste...

No. DBSM only substitutes speech files and a couple of regular sound files. There was no in-game music in SH2, for which it was originally created. I throw those out anyway, as for me having background music just doesn't cut it.

I have to admit that hearing "Ausblasen" instead of "Anblasen" strikes my ears as odd because "Anblasen" is what I'm expecting.

With DBSM when you hit the 'E' key, you'll hear it alright.

"Anblasen! ANBLASSSSSEN!!!"
