Goofs:
Factual errors: The crew is shown taking in lines when the boat is preparing to get underway. Lines were not stored aboard the submarines in the line lockers provided because under depth charging, the lockers could open and the lines could get loose and foul the screws or dive planes. Submarines cast off the mooring lines to the tender.See more »

U-571 is a movie with a horrible story and contains a lot of false pathos, 6 July 2002
Author: Alexander from Munich, Germany

Thank god for the US-Navy. The german U-571 is seriously damaged, so that the full, perfectly trained german crew isn`t able to run it. Of course a hand-full american sailors, who even can`t read the (german) instruments of the different machines in U-571 probably manage to get away with the submarine immediately. After being heavily bombed by a german destroyer, they are even able to reach an absolutely incredible depth. But not enough, of course they send the destroyer to the bottom with only one (coincidentally their last) torpedo. Not only the fact, that this heroic voyage is absolutely implausible and ridiculous, makes U-571 the worst movie I´ve ever seen. Also the story, that the Americans found and decoded the Enigma is just a falsification of history. Of course America did a lot for ending the nazi-tyranny, but in this case, it was the achievement of english sailors and scientists. I´m really not a german nationalist and there were a lot of good and even great movies about WWII ( e.g. Saving Private Ryan) but U-571 isn`t. It´s really a disgusting, poor effort of making money with the most primitive sort of patriotism.
