Yeah, it was vey intense, especially since this one was a old diesel boat and vey small. I think I remember hearing in the commentary that Das Boot was the very first movie that Jurgen Prochnow dubbed in English for his part. He is such a good actor.

There's a lot to be said for making sure to watch Das Boot in German, maybe with subtitles... but they aren't really needed. Sorta like how you can watch The Passion in Aramaic without missing anything.

It'd be like watching Patton dubbed into German... ? :-)
