That movie’s complete crap. It’s a ripoff (right down to individual scenes) of the infinitely better “Das Boot”, mashed up with the actual capture (by the British) of an Enigma machine from the sinking U-110.
They could have told the *actual* story of the U-505 capture and made a far better film.

He said they got one thing right in the movie - there were U-boats in the North Atlantic during the war.
