The S-Boats...

[MadMike]

"Hell Below" (1933) was an interesting flick, notice how fast they jumped on the deck gun when surfaced and how quickly a torpedo was loaded?
The war patrols of the S-boats would be quite a flick (Wolfgang Petersen, are you listening?).

Yours, Mike

It you want to get a real feel for what an S-boat is like, this is the way to do it.

A GREAT movie !

I watched a bit of it. it was very interesting. I didn't think the Captain did the right thing however. He stayed on the surface too long when the enemy aircraft appeared. I realise he had a boat with crew on the surface but he should have submerged and left them to come back later. At least that is what i would have done.
