Hi...

Just felt the need to inform you that Das Boot originally was shot as a television series... this explains how the long version might seem a bit to long. It is! It was never intended to be watched in a five hour sitting!

To this day I cannot understand why they had to release it on DVD as a five hour film? They should at least give the wiewer the chance to select an episode wiew.

I have the original series on old VHS tape, and each episode opens with a narrative giving you the "this has happened so far".

It is much easier to watch when you can take it in in shorter "bursts"...

When it comes to realism, no other submarine film comes close!!!
