They had it coming for driving in front of a larger vessel. You can see that SSCS Ady Gil go forward. So don't blame the Japanese for what happened. So this film is only propaganda. To bad that they wanted to sacrifice a nice boat.
This is a good movie showing the war from the german side. It's cruel and brutal, showing the sacifices of men on both sides and how little a life is worth.
In 1993, the film won Bavarian Film Awards for Best Cinematography, Best Editing and Best Production.
I have the same sled. Alot of fun. Not to bad in powder as long as you don't stop :D
Great video.
