Just had my first ever submarine experience. How did they communicate with the world?

Some great information on uboat.net. The ultimate site for German submarine info

A lot to digest.

Back to the film, I cannot forget the scene when the submarine goes under after losing control, sinking towards the maximum threshold before collapsing. I now read on Wikipedia that the "crush depth" for the U-96 at the time was somewhere between 250 and 295 meters. While watching, I had no idea how many meters could be sustained, and I wonder if the crew knew of any specific crushing treshold as well. My heart was pumping, to say the least! Was this type of information transparent? In the Film, they test the submarine at the beginning. Is this normal behaviour or once more made for dramatical effects?

Exciting to read that they are making a TV serie sequel to Das Boot, which will be released in 2018. 8 episodes lasting an hour each. Now that they cannot rely on Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock for authenticity, who will they turn to in order to ensure that submarine experts like yourselves won't have a "hissy-fit" when watching
