  • 30 people in a confined space, hard work around the clock and no contact with friends or family - life on one of the most modern submarines in the world is not for the faint of heart. The documentary accompanies the crew of the German U32 submarine on its journey from the Eckernforde naval base through the difficult-to-navigate Kiel Canal to Plymouth in England. The tasks of the crew even push the hard-boiled soldiers to their limits, as our submarine documentary shows.

      I appreciate your appreciation for Das Boot ❤
      This movie realy is a masterpiece. Never saw a war film so intense, real and depressing, while still delivering some comic relief (don’t know whether the comical elements translate to not-germans). Let alone the soundtrack…
      You should look for the Mini Series, which was made for TV. The movie is a cut down version for cinema. The Mini Series is muuuch longer and better (although sometimes a bit slow).
      As a German who visited all continets beside Antarctica, i have to admit to never have been to Britain. Hope to settle that in the time to come.
      Cheers 🍻

    I served in the U.S Air Force, but much of my family and friends have served on U.S. submarines. I have the highest respect for these men and women who go to sea on submarines and say what you will about WWII, Germany had some of the best submarines and crews. They trained hard, fought hard, and made their mark. I don't think that modern-day German submariners are any different. Well trained, dedicated and willing to go the distance.
    Calm seas to the crew of U-32.

    It's good to see Germany's best men and women continuing the honorable vocation of submarine service. It is the tireless commitment of motivated, proficient sailors like these, which gives the free world another day. It's a shame though, that this sub's designer could not include just 1 more sailor for the ship's mess - the length of the chef's work day seems equal to that of ship's captain.

Sort of a repeat of when U-24 (an older type 206 class), which in 2001 during excercise JTFEX 01-2 successfully penetrated the USS Enteprise's ASW screen and fired green smoke next to the carriers hull, "at collision proximity".

    I was on three Nuclear submarines in the United States Navy, so I can relate to these fellow submarine sailors. Especially in the stores loading and the lack of enough racks aka bunks on board. That's something our newest Fast Attacks have in common. Only my first boat, the USS HENRY CLAY SSBN625, a Polaris missile boat, was big enough for everyone to have their own bed.
    The biggest difference is how long they can stay at sea. I spent 72 days at sea on my first patrol, which is a lot longer than the German boat can do. However, that boat would be a very dangerous foe in a battle. It's quiet as hell and has the same kind of weapons.

      We dont need nuclear subs because we don't want to be world dominators (any more). The 212a class is perfectly suited to defend our coastline. Small, silent, deadly. It is able to operate in shallow waters where the big nuclear powered subs simply cannot. Perfect match for our needs.

    • @FireLord459

      I'd even say the weapons are better in some regards. Fiber Optical guided torpedos and fiber optical submarine to air missiles that aren't capsulated. The IDAS system they have on-board a thing to look out for in ASW tactics.
      And staying underwater for 18 days without snorkeling is pretty impressive, might be the current record for diesel boats. Obviously cant compare to a nuclear submarine.

And now, I'm watching them have chicken dinner and listening to them talk about Mom's jam and complimenting their technologies etc. Man, it's a trip, how that works.
