Thanks, Sailor Steve, for answering all the questions

Yeah, we bought the Blu-ray version of the "Director's Cut". I saw they had the TV series on Blu-ray as well, which lasts over 5 hours and comes with English subtitles:

Is this more or less the same as the "Original Uncut Version" on DVD here, apart from it running as episodes rather than being edited as a non stop 5 hour film?

If an individual or multiple people were killed, and you could not rise to the top due to still being hunted, where would dead bodies be put if they were forced to be under water for several days? Is it possible, although not appropriate, to dispose of bodies while submerged, or would they endure the days it takes before it's safe for the submarine to ascent?

How different is it to be a radioman on a Destroyer compared to one on a submarine? In Das Boot, Maat Hinrich is the radioman and sonar controller. We see him constantly with his headset on listening for nearby enemies. Would you, as a radioman on a Destroyer, be on the lookout for submerged submarines using sonar? Maat Hinrich VS Sailor Steve
