Thanks for the info. Das Boot is a great movie.
One of the few movies I own.
Of course, the others are 'Liar, Liar', 'Team America' and 'The Best Years of Our Lives'.
Great... and painful. When you have a movie that is that long, with action you can't tear yourself away from, and tons of water crashing around....
Didn't it win some kind of foreign film academy award?
Great flick! I own it also. When they go down to the bottom and the rivets start popping, man o man...
Germany, at the time, was the most technologically advanced country on Earth. If you wanted to know physics or chemistry or engineering, you had better been able to read and understand German.
