Hello ..... new to sub sims here

Hi folks. As a semi-retired mechanical engineer I've always considered submarines to be one of the ultimate engineered devices, and so my interest is on the technical side. I'm also a fan of WW2 history. I just watched Das Boot for the second time in many years and am reading the book upon which it is based. I installed UBOAT from Steam and am a little disappointed that it models the wrong engine (9 cylinder instead of 6), but there I'm just quibbling. I've watched a number of youtube videos featuring SH5 and would like to install it as well. The consensus on-line seems to be NOT to use the Steam version, but instead to buy a DVD or download version of the original and patch/mod it. Can you recommend a trustworthy site from which to purchase/download it? I wasn't familiar with any of the sites I found Googling and don't want to send my credit card/paypal info to some flaky site. 1Coroner.
