I should buy it again, the copy I have is a dual sided DVD and it's darn near impossible to keep it unsmudgy.

Remember to turn up the volume when you hear "It's a long way to Tiperary" and sing along!!

Put out the lights, cool the room down to 60 degrees F, and put on your wool sweater, and enjoy the DC scenes!

Yep-watching it in German with subtitles is the best way!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

After watching Das Boot in German, I actually switched to German voice overs in SH3 since English sounded wrong.

Its actually an interesting study in the cultures of the time to...

1.) Watch it in english with the english dub overs..

then

2.) Watch it in german with the subtitles.

There are some glaring differences in the way some subject matter is viewed.

Everytime I watch the movie it strikes me what a great actor Jürgen Prochnow is. He shows the whole spectrum of emotions. From the confident commander in the docks of La Rochelle to the beaten man in the Straits of Gibraltar. Klaus Wennemann as the LI also did a great part, just like i saw this character in the book.

All together now:

Up to mighty London came
An Irish lad one day,
All the streets were paved with gold,
So everyone was gay!
Singing songs of Piccadilly,
Strand, and Leicester Square,
'Til Paddy got excited and
He shouted to them there:

It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly,
Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there.

Paddy wrote a letter
To his Irish Molly O',
Saying, "Should you not receive it,
Write and let me know!
If I make mistakes in "spelling",
Molly dear", said he,
"Remember it's the pen, that's bad,
Don't lay the blame on me".

It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly,
Farewell Leicester Square,
It's a long long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there.

Molly wrote a neat reply
To Irish Paddy O',
Saying, "Mike Maloney wants
To marry me, and so
Leave the Strand and Piccadilly,
Or you'll be to blame,
For love has fairly drove me silly,
Hoping you're the same!"

It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly,
Farewell Leicester Square,
It's a long long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there.

Prochnow is excellent but this is Wolfgang Peterson's Masterpiece. He's made other movies but none have compared to the craftsmanship he displays in Das Boot. His Magnum Opus.
