The only problem with the show was (as usual) the narrator, who insisted on mis-pronouncing 'Venturer' every single time he said it.

Great show though - proper Germans playing the U-boat crew, proper Britons playing the British. Nice graphics, but not up to The History Channel's "Dogfights" show or SH4 standards. The best bits were the scenes inside the British sub and those in the German U-boat. We also got to see the German U-boat memorial which is quite impressive.
