Interesting note : L.G.Buchheim didnt´t like it. He blame Petersen for the Party-scene at the Beginning of the film also for the Kpt´s permanent complaining about the Leadership.
Heinrich Lehman-Willenbrock surely wasn´t a Nazi but he never was so angry about the BdU and others like in that film. Petersen´s statement later was, that he wanted to make an Anti-War-film and so he replaced Willenbrock with "Der Alte". This person was fiction.

Haven't yet gotten the long version, the 5 + hr version that is the best one but saw it from television a couple of times.
I do have some gripes with the film, not that they in any way shake the significant position this film has as the most worth while sub movie. For example the Tipperary song scene, for some reason I don't think the real German submariners were that keen about that song, to me it kinda sends a strange, mixed message. It's as if they were supposed to be real happy to sing that british song. I guess it's really difficult to make a war film and to convey both the realism of war and at the same time give a sobering "war is hell" - type message. I guess the factual books manage to come closest to this. Das Boot IMO manages both and has a good cast, direction, etc. but it still leaves me with some minor gripes. |

I've heard that some former u-boatmen said that the book was not real either. I've only heard that, never read it from a source, so I don't know if it's true.

german with english subtitles
have watched all three versions- the longest DVD minseries compilation is clearly the best- IMHO. it really gives you the feeling of all the emotions of sub life - from day after day of boredom to instantaneous spleen splitting fear !. The interactions between the crew characters is much more brought out in the long version- by the end you really get a feel for each character's emotions/demons/fears etc. and the ending is a true kick in the balls after the long ardous battle to survive Gilbraltor.

I watch the 3 1/2hr version, german with english subtitles, turned up loud with the Buttkicker Gamer turned on, so I really feel the pound of the engines and the blast of the depth charges!
Also, a few beers are nearby for easy refreshment!

Plain' German when I watch it alone
With subs when I watch it with someone not good at German I watch it ~3 times a year, because when I watch it more often I have every last scene frozen in my head and it's not interesting. |
