My town was destroyed by the Luftwaffe in 1941, my mother (then aged 8) and her family's home bombed to oblivion. She suffered nightmares all her life due to her childhood experiences...On watching Das Boot when it was originally shown on TV in the UK as a multi-part series, she said it was the first time she ever found herself rooting for the Germans, hoping the crew would survive...such was the power and quality of the film/series.

Los Kanikases se los ve como ataques épicos, gracias al cine, pero en e Mar los alemanes fueron mil veses mas letales Tan exitosos fueron los Submarinos Alemanes que solo EEUU construyo 12 Grandes portaaviones contra Japón, pero se ordeno la construcción de mas de 120 portaaviones caza submarinos, y escoltas de convoyes. y fabricaron miles de cazas submarinos contra Alemania. Y Reino Unido solo construyo caza submarinos sean Destructores, fragatas, corbetas. Eso sin contar que mas aviones de cuatro motores como los B-24 fueron utilizados para cazar a los submarinos, que los utilizados para bombardear Alemania. Los Submarinos Alemanes dieron una batalla naval muy dura desde 1939 a 1945,. lastima que no hay películas donde las Jaurías de lobos formadas por submarinos Alemanes atacando convoyes en los Océanos Atlántico o en el Ártico, y como grupos de batalla Aliados se dividían en dos uno para defender el convoy y otro para destruir la Jauría de submarino alemanes y como cientos de barcos caza submarinos se lanzan en su contra respaldados por los aviones transportados por los portaviones caza submarinos, y apoyados por los bombarderos de 4 motores B-24, y donde los agiles Submarinos se hundían y después salían a superficie, para disparar su artillería Antiaérea para derribar los aviones aliados, o lanzar sus torpedos contra los caza submarina que están cazando el submarino señuelo y hundirse otra ves, y en otra parte otros submarinos salen a superficie a repetir la hazaña combates que no duran horas sino días, hasta que la Jauría de submarinos alemanes se retira al agotar el ultimo torpedo y quemar el ultimo cartucho de sus cañones antiaéreo o las balas de las Mg.-42. .- Lamentablemente muchas de esas batallas los Alemanes se llenaron de gloria, ya que una Jauria de Submarinos era de un maximo de 16 submarinos y no menor de 4 submarinos, contra decenas (1941 a 1943) o cientos (1943 a 1945 )de barcos caza submarinos y cientos a miles de aviones, eso si esos submarinos cuando regresan a sus bases estaban casi inservibles, llenos de balas, doblados, el cine no los pone. en especial en Alemania donde esta prohibido enaltecer al partido nazi.

'Das Boot' was the first of the wave of 'cinema verite' ' war films that leave the hyperbole and tropes in the trash can and just show the audience one aspect of warfare from the point of view of the men and women who fought it.

That happens really because you never knew if and when you came back alive. Also he liked Juergen Prochnow the "Kaleu". The typical too early aged young man. Responsible, concerned but always showing leadership to the team. Other things like the bolts flying through the boat wasn't really realistic because the U-Boats where welded. This was case in the WWI. On the other hand it's a movie and many scenes are compressed to this, means they happened but not always on every "Feindfahrt".

For anyone who is a war history BUFF, I suggest you read the book, "THE BOAT". I was actually getting seasick with the descriptions of what it was like on a German U boat. It explains all the procedures they must go through when a torpedo is fired if they are close th the surface. It also explains WHY they must switch to batteries when submerged, something many people don't think about. Anyway, I read it in the 70s and found it great reading.

It gives you the best insight into uboat life from a human perspective. The highs and the fears performed brilliantly.

Although the movie shows the fate of a german submarine and it's crew, it is not a tribute to german submariners, but to all submariners. It gave me claustrophobic vibes when I watched it back in 1981. If you guys ever come to northern Germany you can visit U995 (Type VII C) in Laboe near Kiel. It is the same model as the U96 from the movie. I visited it around 1978 when I was a boy and already then it felt small, but today I would feel like a canned sardine when inside this sub. 😮
@Doomguy-7774 ай бұрын
It's not exactly the same model. U-995 was one of those last fully upgraded Type VIIC, the VIIC/41. Which was more rare given how many were produced, with a thicker pressure hull that could withstand 250m depth compared to the regular Type VIIC at about 200 or 220m crush depth. But while it had more anti-air weaponry, it was also made more lightweight to be more maneuvrable, better at diving along the pressure hull upgrade, latest GHG hydrophone, probably was equiped with the latest Tunis radar warning receiver too but I didn't find anything saying that. Everything else is pretty much the same and representative of what a Type VII or VIIC was internally. The one in the movie is more like the most common Type VIIC which was the most produced submarine of any kind in history but it was also upgraded significantly and similarly over the years.
