FYI..one of the absolute best WW II films...and one that hardly ever shows up on the tube, is the 1956 “Pursuit of the Graf Spee” based on the book “Death in the South Atlantic”. In color, with great footage of the Royal Navy..it’s a fact based account of the action, faithful to the book. Both are worth trying to find, and watch/read.

Dang. Netflix doesn't have it. I saved it though to my queue so maybe they will get on the ball.
