Wissenswertes
Was filmed using an authentic WWII German Submarine, the Spanish Navy Submarine G7, it was a German Type VIiC submarine, interned at Cartagena after being damaged by a RAF plane, and later repaired and acquired to Germany.

Patzer
When U47 surfaces it is fired upon by 3 destroyers, multiple times, but is not hit once. This would not have been likely.

Not "the boat", still fun to watch

Nothing in submarine war movies will ever get close to "Das Boot", that is for sure. This picture from the fifties takes a perpective partly based on the case of a "Kaleu" - a Kapitänleutnant who really existed and was used by german propaganda in ww2 for his courage and tactical creativity. It is a well done picture from these days, when other german war movies of the post-war period from today´s point of view had a lack of brilliance in both action and historical accuracy. This one has Dieter Eppler and Joachim Fuchsberger in it, struggling against inner and outer enemies. Dieter Borsche, playing a priest, tries to win Prien for "Wiederstand"-activities: the german resistance. A nice gimmick is Harald Juhnke, Germany´s number one entertainer in the 1980´s with a notorious drinking problem in real life, plays the "smutje", the cook in the submarine crew: Bigmouthed, always drunk and fun to watch.
