Default Did anyone watched the movie "Das letzte U-Boat"

A couple of days ago, when I was wandering in a movie database I came upon a movie which seems to be good however I cannot find any subtitle working.

The movie's name is "Das Letzte U-Boot" or "The Last U-Boat", for the ones interested here is some info : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100012/

The movie is about a U-boot send to japan carrying plutonium so that Japan can build its own Nuclear Bomb. On the way to Japan, the crew receives the radio message that Germany had surrender and Hitler had killed himself. Should they continue they voyage or surrender.

As far as I know, Japan never tried to build an atomic bomb, instead its super weapon was Super submarines, able to carry planes and operate bombing operations on US Coast. All of the modern submarines are based on Japan super sub with twin hull system. I also heard that Japan had a plan to load these super submarines with some kind biologic super bomb (kinda A-Bomb).

For the ones interested here is the link to the full movie on youtube.

Did anyone watched it ? Did it worth watching ? Did anyone provide can me a English or French subtitle.

Thanks for the link, however I had already found that. The problem is the English subtitle is not synced with the movie. I even doubt that the subtitle is for another movie since in the subtitle, in the opening scene they are talking about a chess game however I couldn't found any scenes related.

I just found that youtube has already a subtitle for the movie. You can even translate it using Google Translate.

This journey is covered in the book "The Secret Diary of a U-Boat" by Wolfgang Hirschfeld. There are also some notes in the back of the book too about what the supposed plan was and how concerned the US were.

Yeah Japan actually built a giant U-boat that could launch sea planes from its deck.
