Welcome abroad, B4rberblacksheep.
I saw Das Boot when it was first released in U.S. theatres with english subtitles.
Definitely a good movie, but not the best.

Das Boot is the best movies on submarine warfare from the Axis point of view and by far one of most historically accurate war films that I've ever seen. Best way to watch it in German with English subtitles, watching the English dub is like watching one of those Japanese movies from the 80's with an English dub it just doesn't work.

And welcome to Subsim B4rberblacksheep.

You do realize there are some semi-major inaccuracies? Like the base they originally sail from wasn't under German control at the time the movie takes place in?

But...still...nobody notices that because it's such a good movie.

+1 on the dubbing opinion

Das Boot is a great movie. Top shelf certainly.

Better than rubbing sandpaper on your eyes, maybe, but not by much.
