Im german... sorry ;).. One of my fav. Movies cause of the atmosphere and awesome acting. I love it when its on TV late at night. Really a great movie.
People like this movie because it is realistic, without the "Hollywood" feel. But if you read books and memoirs about U-boats and those who served on them, the general consensus of U-boat sailors was that even Das Boot was overly dramatic.
@kampfmesser2000 That's right. But Das Boot is all about a single patrol which lasted only about 40 days. Most routine stuff being cut and we got a 5 hours long movie (uncut), with the most dramatic moments of the patrol ofc. And still there were a lot of patrols and uboats with even more dramatic background.
@JORMUNREKKR Iron Coffins by Herbert Werner was pretty amazing. I have a lot of respect for those in the U Boats. There are many stories of the captains defying orders and assisting survivors.
A very honest WW2 movie. The use of German actors and language have taken this movie very close to the real situation of the life of the U-boat crews.
@hisham77x German subs in WW2 were mostly torpedo boats with the special ability to dive. They attacked on the surface because they were much faster there than submerged. Zoday it's the other way round...
@Dutchmancaptain OK. I have just purchased these books: "U-Boot Krieg" and "Zu Tode Gesiegt". Both were written by Lothar Ghunter Buchheim. Plenty of actual Germany U-boat in action photos are included in those books. Really worth it to have them in collection.
@hisham77x A WW2 sub can make more speed on the surface by using it's air driven diesel engine. Under water these type of subs only have a slow electric drive. Usually their targets did not carry guns or artillery so running straight at them, on the surface, at full speed made perfect sense. That way, the targets can't outrun or outmanouver the sub. So, attacking on the surface actually makes more sense, if the target has no defense or escort.

Every torpedo hit, every German victory on the high seas during II World War, every U-boots "success" prolonged the rule of Adolf Hitler, supported the German war effort, strengthened the annihilation of Jews, Russians, Poles, French and all occupied by Nazis Nations. Take this into consideration please... Those brave men from this movie wear a svastika on their caps with all the meaning of this symbol.... It is a great war movie, but for God`s sake please remember what Germans have done ...
@marbat1969 When you serve your country, you wear the uniform and follow orders. Stalin was one of our allies, a man who could easily surpass Hitler in brutality.
@1BEAVIS13 Those men from this movie by serving their country served a genocide, cruel regime. Just a few minutes ago I read a testimony from Warsaw Uprising in 1944. Let me cite it for Your knowledge:" In Czerniaków the last remaining working hospital was this of dr "Constance". On 19th September at 6.00 a.m. SS troops took this place. /.../ SS-officer put on white (!) gloves and shot the head of a wounded man. Going from bed to bed he shot over 100 wounded people.. " He also served his country
@marbat1969 In all wars you'll find brutality and it's usually civilians that suffer the most. Soldiers fight to defend their home and protect their brothers in arms, not because of politics, as this movie so well portrays. I seriously doubt the soldiers of the Red Army, who wear a red star on their caps with all the meaning of that symbol, fought to promote Stalin and his atrocities. I served, so no need to "cite it."
@1BEAVIS13 Germans did not defend any home, but invaded almost whole Europe. Defending German State during II WW means defending regime responsible for slaughter of millions innocent people. Going back to Red Army - in fact, after the "normal war crimes and atrocities" comitted in hundreds by soviet soldiers, the liberated from Nazis occupation territory was searched and cleansed by NKWD troops, which sent hundreds of thousands innocent civilians to Siberia as prisoners in forced labor camps.
@marbat1969 Members of my familly flew fighters against the allied air stream. Our American Cousins, flew those bombers, as gunners and pilots. \ Over many German cities, our family traded shots. Some did not survive the war. On both sides, defended their homes. I build model airplanes. The Luftwaffe Aircraft have the Swastika on the tail, because it is historically correct Das Boot is a find historical piece. note how the captain treated the "NAZI" junior officer. Nuff said.
@marbat1969 germany did defend home, any european country they invaded was home,, why do you think thousands and thousands of us, uk and german soldiiers died on french beaches, if that was NOT home for the germans
@SnuffHunter1 Excuse me but I do not understand Your thought. I am trying to explain that from my point of view there was not any German war hero during II WW in "normal" terms of bravery etc . For me count Stauffenberg trying to kill Hitler is a hero, Marshall von Paulus appealing to german soldiers to surrender is a hero , or Marlene Dietirech singing for US soldiers is a hero... Because they opposed Nazi state... which was a pure evil, which had to be destroyed.
@LetztezBatallion Sorry, I do not understand Your point of view at all. It suggests, that if there is something "behind" it justifies starting a war... especially this war....???
For your information I have studied history for 5 years at Warsaw University obtaining so called "absolutorium" after last year.
@marbat1969 hahahaha, you obtained that so called "absolutorium" and dont know why the war started?, well , its just like this. after the WWI , the versalles treaty kinda f*cked up the germans, leaving them without colonies, nor army. this, plus the great depresion, the great political inestability and the entire will of germans that tought tahat the versalles treaty was unfair, because they claimed that they started the war with enough reasons, was the detonator of WWII
@LetztezBatallion they choosed hitler as their leader because of the political campaign that he used. he just didnt care about the versalles treaty, started to rise again the german army, and wanted to reconquer all the territories that the reich lost with the treaty. this was enough to all germans to support him. thats the main reason, and the why they started the war invading poland. because they wanted a revenge for the detonator of WWI, the assasination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria
@LetztezBatallion and. think about it, you think that only hitler did awful things? look at stalin, before the start of the war, he killed more than 1 million of his own soldiers, because he looked like a idiot in front of them, and in the meantime of the war he killed 2 millions more. atleast hitler killed his enemies, not his allies.
@LetztezBatallion and, if someone comes, and ruins you, you will leave that like nothing happened? or you would do something in revenge? think about it
@LetztezBatallion there is slight error in a way of Your thinking, let`s agree that Versailles Treaty was unfair to Germany. OK. IN November 1918 it was Germany who asked for armistice. Vae victis. Unfairness of an interantional treaty does not authorize any country to invade another. Pacta sunt servanda. Moreover, Germans signed so called Briand Kellog`s Treaty of theirn own will (they were not forced to do this). In 1945 some of them were hanged in Nuerenberg after trial for breaking it.
@LetztezBatallion The difference between those two mass murderes Hitler and Stalin is that if Hitler had won II WW I would not be sitting here at my desk writing this words to You. Stalin has won, and my grandparents survived the war. And my nation and country has survived, however Stalin has killed thousands of best polish patriots and soldiers. Suppose You have heard about Katyń ?
@Gruenkreuz100 Germany did win the war. It still exists, it's culture still exists. The Nazis would have destroyed all that. Every family in western Europe would have a member who disappeared one night and never came back, everyone else on Earth would probably be dead and then the Nazis would have turned on each other. Read "The Man in the High Castle"
@ketsan Bah thats a lone of Bullshit. Just the probaly pretty much says your comment is full of doubt. Germans never wish to conquer or destroy the world. In fact Hitler even praise US and UK before the war.
@ketsan haha, germany is slowly dying since 1945. today its just a shadow of its own and german kulture is getting lost more and more. another 30 years germany will be german just by its name.
@Gruenkreuz100 I couldn't disagree more. More people today are exposed to German art, literature and music than ever before. The works of German philosophers are still practically the foundations of western thought. German engineering and technology is still the envy of the world and the beer isn't too bad either. And after sex when you ask if it was good the women still reply "It was very efficent."And you still have no sense of humour what so ever. German culture is fine.
@marbat1969 Every country have did war crimes. Of course Germany did war crimes but it’s don’t mean that every soldiers was bad Nazi fascists. There was also normal soldiers who has nothing to do whit war crimes or Nazism. If you have born in germany and war came of course you will join to german army and you will do your duty for your country like soldiers in every army and it’s don’t mean that you are bad Nazi war criminal. Also Red army did war crimes, so can we also judge all USSR soldiers?

Years ago Dragon action figures sold a 12" U-boot captain a very nice figure, one of my favorites, he wears a skin blue coat like the one that it is seen briefly.
True wolves, hunting their prey. Shame it happened to be us lol.
I like this film a great deal though.
And the reason is:
It is a story of men. It is not about German or British or USA. It is about real men just doing their jobs for their country. I am from the U.K. and I respect the men who did this for real in WW2. The end of this film is so tragic, too.
Read the original book. Author not happy. And when you see the movie, every shred tries to be the book. Terrible in real life. English is global language. Close call. Not really. War of attrition, with RN doing better through a very brightt and inventive destroyer force.
nice comment on the Hiroshima vid. You were 100% right. Unlike most of those people you knew the facts. I also like your closing statement. that put them in their place.
Perfect movie, great actors! While watching this movie, you lose the feeling that it has been acted. The faces, the behaviour and the feelings are so strong and so true. This is art, this is nothing to be compared with Hollywood.
USA came to its aid ? Russia won WW2, Germany lost 80% of its army in Russia not to mention most of its best soldiers, divisions and tanks. American casulties in WW2 Europe was roughly 450,000 while Russia suffered 15,000,000 miitary casulties. USA played part in victory but thy sure weren't the main factor in the victory.
Hitler did'nt pushed his force to moscow and he losed the war. If he have destroyed the politics institution of russia. Nazi Germany would have win in the east.
also the german technology was far better than the allies
@torkemadaobelia Well, there's a german movie from WW2 called "submarine westwards"(you can find on youtube), from 1941, it was filmed in the Kiel shipyard and even has Doenitz cameo at the end.
Nazi propaganda at it best, something this film doesn't has, focusing on the drama rather than the propaganda.
@britishareawesome69 I'm sorry, but how the heck can you compare the two? SPR is ok, it tries to mimic what it was like but there is still too much "holywood look at me I'm awesome" kind of attitude. Das Boot is so authentic in its representation of what life was like. It's not just about the war, it's about the men who served on these boats and the experiences they went through.
Having said Germans make good war movies, because they want it to be more authentic. The Germans sure have a reputation for almost everything. Be it good or bad.
An absolute classic movie. Right up there with all the black and white movies of the 50's, Cruel Sea, In which we serve, to name but a few. All amazingly courageous men, from all sides.
If anyone can translate, what does the Captain say between 'Bieder machine' and 'Anlauf beginnt'? He speaks so fast I never catch it.
Yes mate, someday if i have that chance I'll go there, so far I've been to HMAS Ovens in Freemantle, WA. But, I like WW II sub, when they still have gun on their deck, and the hull still look like surface ship.
Yes. The German computer was top of the class for its day. You still had to estimate the target's heading, distance and speed but the firing solution would go right to the torpedo tubes.
They have a Type IX on display in Chicago I've been to, the U-505. If you ever get to Chicago, don't miss this!
Not very likely. This was at the height of the Battle of the Atlantic. They were sinking allied merchantmen fat with stores manned by men who knew the risks. If you were on an ore carrier you would sink in 30 seconds or if on a tanker you might be burned alive. Not pleasant but there was no room for children.
Allied Merchant Navy sailors were also very aware of the danger of being on submarines though, all the personal accounts I've read indicate there was a lot of mutual respect between the two sides. Whenever there were survivors from a U-boat sinking, they would often have to share the already tiny crew spaces on escort ships with the people that had just contributed to their sinking.
To quote Nicholas Monsarrat, "The only heroines are the ships, the only villain the cruel sea itself."

I think this is the best/realistic film on war at sea made.
A lot of time on patrol was really, really boring. Until the shooting started -
Then it became really, really terrifying.

True wolves, hunting their prey. Shame it happened to be us lol.
I like this film a great deal though.
And the reason is:
It is a story of men. It is not about German or British or USA. It is about real men just doing their jobs for their country. I am from the U.K. and I respect the men who did this for real in WW2. The end of this film is so tragic, too.

Read the original book. Author not happy. And when you see the movie, every shred tries to be the book. Terrible in real life. English is global language. Close call. Not really. War of attrition, with RN doing better through a very brightt and inventive destroyer force.

Perfect movie, great actors! While watching this movie, you lose the feeling that it has been acted. The faces, the behaviour and the feelings are so strong and so true. This is art, this is nothing to be compared with Hollywood.

USA came to its aid ? Russia won WW2, Germany lost 80% of its army in Russia not to mention most of its best soldiers, divisions and tanks. American casulties in WW2 Europe was roughly 450,000 while Russia suffered 15,000,000 miitary casulties. USA played part in victory but thy sure weren't the main factor in the victory.

@torkemadaobelia Well, there's a german movie from WW2 called "submarine westwards"(you can find on youtube), from 1941, it was filmed in the Kiel shipyard and even has Doenitz cameo at the end.
Nazi propaganda at it best, something this film doesn't has, focusing on the drama rather than the propaganda.

@britishareawesome69 I'm sorry, but how the heck can you compare the two? SPR is ok, it tries to mimic what it was like but there is still too much "holywood look at me I'm awesome" kind of attitude. Das Boot is so authentic in its representation of what life was like. It's not just about the war, it's about the men who served on these boats and the experiences they went through.

Correction:
In English (Literally):
Both machines flank speed ahead, hard port rudder, on 107 degrees go. Approach begins.
In English (More naturally)
"Both engines ahead flank, hard to port, come to 107 degrees. Starting our approach."

An absolute classic movie. Right up there with all the black and white movies of the 50's, Cruel Sea, In which we serve, to name but a few. All amazingly courageous men, from all sides.
If anyone can translate, what does the Captain say between 'Bieder machine' and 'Anlauf beginnt'? He speaks so fast I never catch it.

Do they have Torpedo Data Computer aboard the U-Boot? Man...I like the one that installed on Gato/Balao class submarine.
adwasono 2 years ago
Yes. The German computer was top of the class for its day. You still had to estimate the target's heading, distance and speed but the firing solution would go right to the torpedo tubes.
They have a Type IX on display in Chicago I've been to, the U-505. If you ever get to Chicago, don't miss this!

The sad thing is the boat the sunk most probably has children in it the destroyer was there escort
ebayaddict19 2 years ago
Not very likely. This was at the height of the Battle of the Atlantic. They were sinking allied merchantmen fat with stores manned by men who knew the risks. If you were on an ore carrier you would sink in 30 seconds or if on a tanker you might be burned alive. Not pleasant but there was no room for children.
Loosetiger1 2 years ago 5
Allied Merchant Navy sailors were also very aware of the danger of being on submarines though, all the personal accounts I've read indicate there was a lot of mutual respect between the two sides. Whenever there were survivors from a U-boat sinking, they would often have to share the already tiny crew spaces on escort ships with the people that had just contributed to their sinking.
