did they really say "screws, eggs" in the subtitle? LOL!
He said "Wahrschau, Eier". "Wahrschau" is a combination of "wahrnehmen" (recognize) an "schauen" (look). It means something like "watch out, here im come" and is some kind of german naval language.
@fulcrum2000 The modern subbings (which plague but the DVD and HD releases) have some noticeable blunders compared to older versions. This movie was shown on TCM one time (I recorded it) and it has "Careful, eggs" for that scene. The swearing is also quite mangled in modern releases as well :/
Britain would have survived any way because hitler made the mistake of stopping the bombing raids on our air fields and instead focusing on our shipyards. It also didn't help that the Irish were complete dicks and letting the Germans land their planes at Irish airbases which contain terrorists
@aliboy357 The British empire? Ya it mustve been really hard taking over people with guns while the natives were armed with spears and shields made of wood. Very noble and couragious. Lets also not forget there wouldn't be a Europe without the U.S.; Just one big Germany.
Let's not forget that almost the entire point of this movie is that at the time, everyone was just doing their job. None of these guys wanted to be in that iron coffin.
U-boat is the anglicized version of the German word U-Boot, itself an abbreviation of Unterseeboot (undersea boat), so a submarine just a very early submarine
Best War Movie ever until now ! One of the best and most autentic films ever. So pure, so real, so true... sadly! I live in Kiel / Northern Germany at the Baltic Sea where we have THE memorial place for the submarines at Möltenort and Laboe... there is a wall with more than 35.000 names of fallen U-Boot-Men for both World Wars. If you see that, you will be very quiet and think: no more war ! So many brave young men died... on all sides... THAT is a pitty ! over and out .---.
@cetieel well if we ever got invaded with hostiles from outer space the germans should be our first port of call, such a small country holding the whole world at ransom,and brains that was several decades ahead of the rest,, the best army in the world, truly they were super!
@cetieel I agree with your post that the Germans certainly know how to engineer. But they have always lacked in the ability to mass produce. A German Panzer could take out 5 or 6 Shermans. An MG42 machine gun was faster and more versatile than machine guns used by the allies. But their problem was that they spent too much attention fine tuning their creations that they ended up not having enough. The U.S. has always had a reputation for pumping out large volumes of stuff. (see follow post)
@cetieel Adolf Hitler summoned Herman Goering at the height of the war what the U.S. production of U.S. planes based on intelligence figures. Goering reported that we were producing about 60,000 planes a month. It came out to be about one plane every 30 seconds. Hitler was convinced the figures were wrong.
@cetieel You have to have respect for the Germans, but not for their application of technology - killing other people. Obviously that is the nature of war, but just be careful where you place your respect.
@Triforce343 but the germans didn't use technology only for killing. there are alot of inventionsy by german persons, which weren't invented for killing.
@aka99 Yeah, sorry, I phrased that terribly. The Germans have contributed a shitload of amazing inventions and philosophy to the world that obviously aren't used for killing. My fault.
@Z3kedog "but the allies had God fighting with them"
Bullshit. The Usa was just "sneaky" , look wen they stepped into the war. They only won because they cut Germanys supply lines while Germany was fighting against millions of russians in the east, while they were fighting the Britains in the north and were close to win the fight, that was when England hadnt left supplies for more than 2 weeks because german submarines sunk everything, while fighting english groundtroops in africa...
@TheSensismoker To be fair, the Eastern front was basically one of Hitler's biggest, dumbest mistakes. While the USA didn't really win the war in a realistic sense, its involvement was another large nail in the coffin, courtesy of Japan. And the real reason that the American involvement was big wasn't because it gave the allies a technological advantage. It was simply because quantity has a quality all its own.
@cetieel I'm not sure I would agree with you on any of those charges. All Allied armies, minus the French, had discipline. The Americans were the only army who's standard rifle was semi-automatic. And for capabilites, the British beat them solo in the Battle of Britain, and the Soviets beat them solo in Barbarossa.
@GalacticJustice The british beat them in the BoB just because the political fucktards of the Nazi goverment put their noses into the development of new airplanes. Hadnt they screwed around with the ME's and BF's, Lodon today would have been rebuilt from 0.
On the russian side, DO NOT FORGET that the Russian were helped with a shitload of supplies by the Americans.
Basically, if Hitler'n'company hadnt taken military decisions, today the world map would say NAZI GERMANY all over it.
in case you find it, make sure to get the EXTENDED version.
the 2 hours TV version sucks ;) and has many flaws.
there was a 3 part tv version with 90 mins each, and in these you really get the feeling for boredom of the sailors and the excitement in the action scenes simply becomes more intense - since you NOW really feel with those sailors - no matter what side the fought on ;)
@JheakrynaKyAlur Thanks for the advice.Think I understand when u say 'u really get the feeling for boredom' etc. For example u can't know how cold it was in Russia when reading abt it in a warm comfy chair.Regarding side they fought on is merely a disclaimer now coz propaganda against them is still so strong.I get speechless merely thinking abt the fact that the rate of attrition of the U-boat men was 2nd ONLY to the Kamikaze.
This is the best way to see this movie. Because in the original German you hear the emotion in their voices that the dubing leaves out. Hollywood can never compete with europeans they want fluffy movies not the real thing.
In case of allarm test, nobody of crew have to know the reality, because only in a real situation it can get the best record time for full immersion. Anyway this is a good movie, I have seen the no cut version and I like the soundtrack. In Italy is titled U 96 and the location has been at St. Nazarie, France in the German submarines base, where still today is available for visiting.
YEsterday I saw the uncut version .. I never had soo many emotions watching a war movie .. This is the best war movie ive seen and one of the best movies in general. The realism of the actions made it work thats why I love European Cinema :)
natürlich nicht !!! das is die einzige szene die meine frau rückwärt auf der flöte mit hupen kann...als wir die home-cinema anlage neu hatten standen 2 nachbarn auf der matte weil die nur ALAAARRMMMMM gehört haben.. den abend haben wir dann mit ner kiste bier und dem film verbracht... man war meine frau sauer.. die wollte titanic in thx-sound schauen..naja boote sind in DAS BOOT ja auch abgesoffen xD
One of the best submarine movie ever ( my personnal favorite with "Crimson Tide" ). Great actors ( with the fantastic Jürgen Prochnow ) , good director ( Wolfgang Petersen ) and a great script from start to finish...Das Boot is a great movie.
This is also a relevant movie to me as I spent 21 years in P-3s chasing soviet submarines. :-) Great fun. I also watched all the "Silent Service" and "Navy Log" episodes back in the '50s an every dang submarine movie Hollywood put out.. Yea I'm an old coot and it's nice to see a Submarine movie from the German side. Are there any other "Made in Germany" sub movies?
A most excellent Movie! I read the book first and then rented the English dubbed version and later hunted up the original German with english subtitles. I very much prefer the movie in German even though the subtitles get in the way some what. Somewhere in the German version somebody spits out some 25 sylables and the subtitle comes out as "Oh Sh*t!" Gotta love it. It does suffer a bit in the translation but is much better in the spoken German version.
@teooli Oh it's just my opinion. I think it works better. I mean it's a German sub with a German crew filmed in Germany ( if I understand it correctly ). It sounds more authentic in German. I've watched a lot of war movies and always felt it a little silly for the Germans ( or Japanese or the Indians for that matter) to be speaking English. Knowing just a few military terms, curse words and common words can make the German version a lot better than the version dubbed in English
@teooli Not enough characters to say it all. When i watch the version is German I feel like I am looking over the shoulders of a real German crew in a real Uboat out on patrol. I read the book the movie is based on and i also read 'Iron Coffins', I have a good feel for how things worked on the German side of the battle of the Atlantic. When i watched the movie dubbed in English I didn't get that same 'You Are There' feeling. It is the same movie but not near as authentic to me.
@mightaswellbe "Iron Coffins" is a great book. We checked the author's claims against official records, and I'm afraid Werner is a bit free with his details. Werner might have mis-remembered. What he did and can be proved was remarkable enough.
This is one of the best war movies ever , it doesn't take any sides and only shows that war is never fair ( the sinking ship on fire or the ending of the film ) .
Only the commander can give the order "fluten" (flood) and he alone must close the hatch. The LI (Leitende Ingenieur) must repeat this order. "Untertriebszellen" are lower trim tanks, they were filled already, so that in case of emergency the boat could dive faster. That is the reason why you see the boat lying so low in the water. These cells were blown empty once the boat was at ten meters depth.
Dude...ALL dubbed movies (except children movies) are a disgrace to the human kind. When I visited France for example, hardly anyone could speak english...WELL OF COURSE NOT! THEY WATCH "THE SIMPSONS" AND "LORD OF THE RINGS" WITH DUBBED VOICES!
While I agree with Das Boot being better than most stuff (if not all of it; it's damn good!) coming out of Hollywood, I think you are a bit harsh in your criticism. There are many good Hollywood movies.
And while I don't think they all mislead people from reality, that in itself is not always bad when concerning movies. We all need a bit of escapism at times!
But then if the Germans did not have Hitler the war would never had taken place to begin with. It was a needless and senseless war that killed a lot of people. This film shows us that there were good men on all sides of this conflict who got forced into it.
@Cluebert - I think they would not have won but they would have gotten a much more favourable armstice...however Russia would not have sat there and seen a larger Germany make peace in the west. Eventually Germany would have been beaten. The war could have been avoided though by removing the crippling compensation Germany was forced to pay for the first war....that messed up their economy and allowed the Nazi's to rise.
the subtitle: "screws, eggs." is a wrong translation. the sailor said: WARSCHAU! that was a term in german(u-boot sprache) for : WATCH OUT! when i first saw the us-version, i thought that most americans will never comprehend the true anti-war charakter of the film.
Actually, then the producer's built a scale uboat shell powered by a small engine for the exterior shots, the conning tower scenes were filmed on a 1:1 scale seperate model as were the interior scenes which use a 'cutaway' full detail interior.
Experiance: I have the special edition, remastered, uncut 2 disk DVD with commentary. Btw the original german dub is the best imo.
@Zappiss Yes, they used an hand-held Arriflex camera for tight interiors, with special gyroscope mount.. And too answer you're question the actor's did dub it in both languages, respectively.
They couldn't use on set audio on all but one scene because the gyroscope stabilized cameras were too loud.
If I'm not mistaken it was the dialog scene towards the end between Leutnant Werner and the "LI" when they used a different camera because they wanted to use the real audio.
I cant imagine how it must have been to dive in a submarine from the 1940´s.

@mightaswellbe "Iron Coffins" is a great book. We checked the author's claims against official records, and I'm afraid Werner is a bit free with his details. Werner might have mis-remembered. What he did and can be proved was remarkable enough.

This is one of the best war movies ever , it doesn't take any sides and only shows that war is never fair ( the sinking ship on fire or the ending of the film ) .

Only the commander can give the order "fluten" (flood) and he alone must close the hatch. The LI (Leitende Ingenieur) must repeat this order. "Untertriebszellen" are lower trim tanks, they were filled already, so that in case of emergency the boat could dive faster. That is the reason why you see the boat lying so low in the water. These cells were blown empty once the boat was at ten meters depth.

Dude...ALL dubbed movies (except children movies) are a disgrace to the human kind. When I visited France for example, hardly anyone could speak english...WELL OF COURSE NOT! THEY WATCH "THE SIMPSONS" AND "LORD OF THE RINGS" WITH DUBBED VOICES!

We got so many great directors with new ideas for scripts in Germany, but unfortunatly we can't compete against Hollywoods money and equipment.
This was the most expensive german movie production at that time and the
best we ever did. This movie was nominated for 6 Oscars in 1983.

This is far more better movie then all the Hollywood movies together ever. They just mislead people from reality.

While I agree with Das Boot being better than most stuff (if not all of it; it's damn good!) coming out of Hollywood, I think you are a bit harsh in your criticism. There are many good Hollywood movies.
And while I don't think they all mislead people from reality, that in itself is not always bad when concerning movies. We all need a bit of escapism at times!

But then if the Germans did not have Hitler the war would never had taken place to begin with. It was a needless and senseless war that killed a lot of people. This film shows us that there were good men on all sides of this conflict who got forced into it.

@Cluebert - I think they would not have won but they would have gotten a much more favourable armstice...however Russia would not have sat there and seen a larger Germany make peace in the west. Eventually Germany would have been beaten. The war could have been avoided though by removing the crippling compensation Germany was forced to pay for the first war....that messed up their economy and allowed the Nazi's to rise.

the subtitle: "screws, eggs." is a wrong translation. the sailor said: WARSCHAU! that was a term in german(u-boot sprache) for : WATCH OUT! when i first saw the us-version, i thought that most americans will never comprehend the true anti-war charakter of the film.

even the sounds the boat makes when diving are far better in this version than in the English dub. It sounds like a freaking jet!
ddavda 2 years ago 2
Notice the clear blue sky at first, then the darker when they dive.
Mrster 2 years ago 3
Thats cause the diving is a model in a tank and the dialogue on the bridge is a real boat.
moleman9000 1 year ago
Actually, then the producer's built a scale uboat shell powered by a small engine for the exterior shots, the conning tower scenes were filmed on a 1:1 scale seperate model as were the interior scenes which use a 'cutaway' full detail interior.
Experiance: I have the special edition, remastered, uncut 2 disk DVD with commentary. Btw the original german dub is the best imo.
am00093426 1 year ago 14
And weren't they forced to dub the whole film, as the noise of the cameras would have been too loud inside the cutaway interior?
Zappiss 1 year ago
@Zappiss Yes, they used an hand-held Arriflex camera for tight interiors, with special gyroscope mount.. And too answer you're question the actor's did dub it in both languages, respectively.
am00093426 1 year ago 2
@Zappiss
Yep.
doranduh 1 year ago
@Zappiss
They couldn't use on set audio on all but one scene because the gyroscope stabilized cameras were too loud.
If I'm not mistaken it was the dialog scene towards the end between Leutnant Werner and the "LI" when they used a different camera because they wanted to use the real audio.
Molo9000 1 year ago
@Zappiss they dub all movies even today :D because of how loud the sets are.
The flim the movies then go back a re-record all the sounds .
