But being cut into pieces, woah, that instills the fear of a million men in me. I'd rather get shot.

You improved so amazingly well over time. Both in animation, as well as the dubbing of the non-Eglish conversations. The only teeny tiny thing I would have to nitpick there is at 1:32 , where one sailor calls his Captain 'Sir'. As a German Sailor he probably would not have used the English designation there. But that is pretty much the only thing I could count as an 'error'.

15 minutes and I feel like I've watched a full well made movie. If some of the KZbinr's I watch got the money and resources even independent films raise, I believe they could dominate box office. It's a shame, so much of the things people use today were a direct result of WW2. The technological advancements in medicine, transportation, communication, manufacturing produced by WW2 were revolutionary. Even Rock n' Roll started by the British people witnessing American blues, soul, gospel, and jazz played by African American GIs in British pubs. This led to Staxx Records getting a UK distribution deal, and a whole generation of British kids who had access to James Brown, Muddy Waters and Howling Wolf records. WW2 should never be forgotten.

I mean the animation was good, the WW2 story was OK, but I've heard/read about such battles before, right? And then the American ship rams the sub, the German sailors climb on the American ship like pirates, with crazy courage, they fight with fists, that guy throws the grenade...and then the German commander dies in a fireball. It was unbelievable! And to top it all, we learn that the German commander was 26 years old and the American one just 27 himself (!). How is this possible? What 26-27 years old boy today would have this kind of maturity and bravery? I have the utmost respect for the German crew who fought with abnegation until the very end. And I was very sorry for the young commander. Isn't it a shame that these men's sacrifice is all but forgotten today?

She charged their opponent holding them off long enough sacrificing it's self letting many of the escorted ships to flee in time.

that's not the grenade explosion, that was the submarine imploding while sinking, the grenade explosion was the little one in the frame right before lol

My ONLY unsolicited gripe is the same a most depictions but when referencing even relatives who served in both world wars a couple of them young officers it’s apparent how young they are. Abel rose to commander at just 27 years. 27. Unfathomable to imagine that. And this event actually occurred on his birthday. Depictions of this incident usually show him and Seehausen as much older men but they both were about the same age. Neither would have facial hair but the man shown as seehausen looks a shot out 45 year old veteran. By 1943 these were basically wunderkinds running Uboats if they were young Oberleutnants (he got his promotion posthumously). I wish they were shown to be their true age. It adds to the complexity of the war to have such young men deciding such important fates.
