After U-571, I don't think anyone would dare attempt to

If you want a good sub movie, keep hollywood out of it.

Perfect example was U-571.
Take excellent details, talented actors, then FRACK it all up. You can still enjoy the action if you can just remeber it is based on fantasy. Alchohol helps.

back to topic - While this incident is no shinning example of heroics, I wouldn't dwell on it as the war was full of bitter moments. Capt Walker wasn't exactly known for treating German survivors with mercy. There is also an incident in the Pacific where a US sub captain ordered Jap survivors shot instead of rescued.

20/20 hindsight is looking out your a**

At the time it was seen as heroic as not only was it the height of the battle of the Atlantic but was a recruitment boon as witnessed by the poster. I suppose shooting an unarmed man is seen as cold but that U-boat had 10 patrols and sunk many ships. Most didn't even see it coming. Was that heroic either? Sauce of the goose.

All observation are valid in my point of view...
But both sides wich fight in this war knows the price to pay...follow orders or not
be victorious or not, stay alive or die!

We can resume to this: Victory or Death! the rest its only details writen to the History books, but with a diference...depends who writ the book, if belongs the winer side or the defeted side!
