I can gather not all German's in the military were hardcore Nazis, esp some of the older ones such as Captain in Enemy Below.Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this.

Read Jordan Vause's books "U-Boat Ace" and " "Wolf".

He addresses the subject.

Luth was a true believer. I think Prien was too, but I don't remember. It would have been interesting if Luth had survived the War, to hear his thoughts on the subject, sadly he was killed in the last moments of the War by a German sentry.
