you have to seperate the political germany and the military germany..these guys
where traind to do there job...
all they did was do there job what they where menth to do..
the german navy at the time hade nothing to do whit the natzi's most men on that boat yust wanted to do there job and hoped to return home tho there loved onces
if the men on that boat would not have followed there orders they would have been shot...
this scene really put the hook in me! it s my fav scene. Just some scenes later "das boot" will be destroyed in a french naval harbour - really an outstanding anti-war movie!
Wolfgang Lüth was assasinated after the war for political reasons. The men under his command looked up to him greatly, he was a u-boat hero, he wasn't involved in any 'war crimes' in any way, and he was an ardent national socialist who posed a threat to the new order.
Ich kann auch deutsch sprechen. Halskrankheit war Landserslang und stand für solche Leute, die unbedingt ein Ritterkreuz haben wollten - das man ja bekanntlich um den Hals getragen hat
All the research I've done said that Lüth was shot by a sentry when he didn't give the correct password. Where I come from, that's called "friendly fire" and not "assasination." If you have books that say otherwise, I'd love to look at them.
I've heard that the Kriegsmarine was mostly anti-Nazi or at least apprehensive. Whether that's true or not, I have a lot of respect for the guys who got into those steel coffins.
Why? I'm not trying to belittle the bravery of the Wehrmacht, especially on the Eastern Front, but why can't we be proud of all the armies? The obvious exceptions to this are the Italian Army, the French Army, and the Red Army.
Doenitz tried to keep the U-boat branch (and later the whole navy) as apolitical as possible. That's why they didn't use the Nazi salute until late in the war.
Of course there were pro-Nazi captains, like Wolfgang Lüth. But there were openly anti-Nazi captains. They could get away with it as they were U-boat captains.
This is a kind of a strange simplification and white-washing the sad facts. All forces had been anti-republican and dreaming of the return of their king and emperor Wilhelm. Younger officers grown up under Hitler tended to be brown, and a minority came to realize late that the republic wasn't that bad compared to Hitler. But they were all united in the rejection of communism and socialism and Hitler seemed to be the saviour of that threat.
I didnt say it reflected the German military as a whole, it was just a said between the officers back then. Probably just a joke. But even jokes have some fact on them.
i would guess that was said by army (wehrmacht) officers attempting to white-wash themselves by the creation of a contradiction to other parts of the forces.
The film is great, the music wonderful, and the scene reflects the fight of human spirit -EVERY man's spirit- to overcome circumstances that seem impossible to overcome. Period. The rest is politics. You people keep arguing if you want, while politicians keep making love or war, depends on what is more profitable at the moment.
a0e0roberts again you type Balls, there is No recorded, incident, or substantial witness accounts, of any R N officer either ordering, or commiting a war crime.,You live in some fantasy world, !! It was alleged Hitler had only 1 Ball, & Goering had No balls ! as you seem to be the biggest authority on Bollocks, any comments on German High Command genetalia
a0e0roberts yes please go on ! let me say again,as you seem not to understand, simple english, 1 Find a posting by me that states the Allies did not have individual acts, of criminality, Also find me 1 account, of any RN sailor gunning German sailors consequent to a Sinking, the RN was known to leave sailors in the water after a sinking, but this also included their own people. not an easy choice, but for the safety of the ships.Dude please leave the Grass alone before getting on here
"Also find me 1 account, of any RN sailor gunning German sailors consequent to a Sinking" 4 months ago, I answered this on the "Das Boot - Convoy" Video. Lt. Cdr Anthony Meirs of the sub HMS Torbay gunned German sailors in their life rafts. Look it up for yourself.

a0e0roberts There yo go again. running of, @ the mouth, that twisted illogical reasoning you seem more than enamoured with, In all my postings, on Youtube, find me 1 were I say that the allies did not commit any acts of
criminality, of course individual service personnel did, How ever it was the nazi machine esp at state level that was the criminals, regretably the german mind set then was ( cough ) follow orders !! Mein Fuhrer Like Sarah Palin , u got views, on the Theory of Everything
a0e0roberts wat bit of 75% of the German submarine service, was sunk due to Allied action, went over your head,, that leaves very little to convict of war crimes. As for my retorts to you,, has nothing to do about your rubbing my nose in anything, I am trying to bring a balanced view to your, rather convulated view of WW2
"I am trying to bring a balanced view to your, rather convulated view of WW2" BALANCED view? You're the one that said all men in the German Navy were Nazi war criminals. My view is more subtle; no apologies here. Men in the German, American and even in the Royal Navy shot at men in the water on rare occasion. While I see huge differences between Nazi and Allied causes, the men who carried them out were largely the same: humans. I will make an exception for the SS; they were monsters.
"that leaves very little to convict of war crimes." I'm surprised I have to point out to an "expert" like yourself that Adm. Karl Dönitz DID survive the war, and was tried at Nuremberg. He was the head of the U-boat arm, btw. If there were allegations of war crimes under his watch, they would have brought them up in court, even if the captain in question was dead. In military court, you're responsible for the actions of your men. Dönitz got 10 years, but wasn't convicted on war crimes charges.
a0e0roberts You feel a bit Stupid Now ?? that after all those years this year the British released, the fact that Japanese sailors also like their German comrades machine gunned, sailors , in the water, during WW2, also that German U boats sank hospital ships carrying wounded and children to Canada,
And when did I say anything about how Japanese sailors fought? You are delusional. Please go over any of my messages and prove me wrong.
As to the Germans, I was the one who named the ONLY U-boat captain executed for war crimes, not you. You wouldn't have known who Heinz Eck was if I hadn't rubbed your nose in it.
You're the stupid one here. Making up stuff about German raiders killing Norwegians. You are shameless.
As to the children, you're talking about "City of Benares." Be specific. Dolt
BTW, Keirfree, there's a button marked "Reply" if you want to reply to a message of mine. Unless you're too gutless to want a reply....
I would be interested in any information the British released "after all those years." Would you like to be SPECIFIC? Unless it has nothing to do with the War in the Atlantic.
Yes, but the Japanese military in WWII were monsters no matter the branch, this is from the fact that their leaders molded them into thinking they were racially superior to everyone else and that the Japanese soldiers, sailors, and airmen could do whatever they wanted to them as such

I am educated,and i see that u are not.Start learning history with your mind open my friend
.You can't get educated just by knowing what happened only to the one side.You need to know what happened to the other too.I recognise the courage that Allies had in Omaha,Utah,Juno,Sword and gold beaches in Normandy.But i honour men like these in the film,who even knew that they lost the war,and they still were risking their lives for their country.A big example of faith and hope which can last forever.
I think you're wasting your breath. Keirfree is just one of those people who sees things in absolute shades of good and evil. All allies were good, all axis were evil. When I pointed out that soldiers on both sides were human; evil and horrible things were done by some allies and some noble things done by those fighting for Germany, I was called a Nazi.
But Keirfree probably defines "Nazi" as "anyone who disagrees with him."
"i blame the society which we live in.. ;)" I blame Paris Hilton. Don't rush me, I'm still working on the details.
While I don't need Kierfree's name caling, he forced me to do some more reading. I *do* know a fair bit about U-Boats in WWII, but didn't know the first thing about subs in the Royal Navy for example.
Not surprisingly, RN subs fought the same way as U-Boats. Only a politician would think a sub could hold a potential target at gunpoint while searching it.

I think (and this is my personal opinion) that France (of which I belong to) and England made the biggest mistake to fight Germany.
In the case of France, which I know too well, we had corrupt leaders who had an agenda and alot to gain by fighting Germany.
I say that the Wehrmacht was the only commandable army because it truly fought for its fatherland.
Of course all troops in any time are to be loved by their countrymen.
I just mean that I am ashamed European leaders betrayed their people
