I quite enjoyed this film until the first taunts from one of the German U-Boat commanders was received over the radio. That actually never happened for several reasons: it was difficult to broadcast on an enemy radio frequency and more importantly there was a mutual respect between the German and Allied navy crews. The German U-Boat crews were people having to do a job albeit for a monstrous regime. "Das Boot" depicts the life on a German U-Boat during WW2 quite well and at the end of it I felt for the crew and amazingly they weren't mindless Nazi zombies, quite to the contrary.
