Updated list !!

I fixed a couple of bad links in the original post. Can't wait to see the 1960+ list!

I hope someone can help ID this sub movie, it's really annoying me!

It was made by a British director in 1943 or 1944 i.e. while the war was ongoing. It concerned an occupied country where U-boats were being made, experimental ones. The hero of the movie was part of the workforce who were forced to help, and he was considered a traitor at first by the rest of his people.

However he was part of the crew who went out on trial of the boat - and there was a sub casting off and travelling on diesels. Not a real U-boat I imagine but it looked surprisingly close to a VIIC. He and the other workers on board hijacked it from the German crew and sailed it to England. I remember looking up the movie and hearing it was based on actual events, but I couldn't find any true instance of this happening.

He used a codename that was an old sea hero of the country he was from. Again I wish I could remember! I was going to post about it but decided not to.

The movie ends when he takes part in trials of another German U-boat and blows it up with himself onboard. This movie does exist! I just wish I could remember the name

Cheers

Out of interest, does anyone know what sub they used in it for the shots of it casting off and travelling on the surface? If it wasn't German, which I imagine it wouldn't be since it was made during the war, then what was it?
