Goofs
In Part 1 at the 13:15, scene in the Dry Dock, The Bow of a ship can be seen in the background, this ship has a bulbous bow. BUT bulbous bow were not incorporated in ship construction until 1963.

Alternate versions
The German version dubs all the actors to German, creating confusing moments in the story. In some scenes the original dialogues have to be changed to make it appear that the characters have not listened well to the German soldiers instead of understanding their language. In addition, in the opening and end credits, they give priority to German actors and 10 actors who play the British crew are uncredited.

Great drama and true to history

Over time many movies have pictured how the German Navy and Army conducted themselves in WWII. I don't write Nazies, because that is a political party and in general the Germans fought for their country. That being said, all sides of the war had their share of murders. If you think the allies never did anything wrong, you are very naive.

The submarine part of the German navy was led by Donitz and banned any political propaganda from the sub pens and submarines.

Its very known that if British and German submarines would meet, they would greet each other and part, due to respect for each others profession.

The movie itself shows the balance between being humane and full fill your obligations as a submariner.
