Probably the best submarine movie ever made, it captures the monotony on board, the pure terror of being attacked. Not the typical American style "we are the heroes" bullpoop, just a crew with a mission, who are trying to get out alive.
Jim Flaherty So heroic when the allies bombed and killed millions of civilians. The reality is, this was a war. I'm not saying "oh the Nazis weren't that bad" cause they were horrible people, but we can't forget that the allies did their fair share of war crimes which have been brushed under the carpet. Take the Laconia incident for example, a few German submarines stopped to pick up survivors from a ship that they'd torpedod and towed lifeboats behind them before trying to rendevous with allied ships. However when a B-24 Liberator spots the sub and the lifeboats it's ordered to attack. Of course the people in the sub are fine but the bomber sinks to lifeboats, killing dozens of civilians. Doesn't sound heroic to me
@@leshmahagow364 Meat is soft. Steel is hard. It doesn't take much to raise a rifle division, and they don't tend to accomplish much. Count the 'dead' Germans because it's a lot less complicated than actually assessing the casualties and costs of battle in a more insightful fashion.
@@Ankhar2332 I don't think I haven't played that particular mission ( because i like sinking escort carriers and lots of ships in the Atlantic) but def have played the game UBOAT. Excellent game . Not a fan of the homing torpedoes though, i like to manual my shots.
This actually was my alarm clock for some time. I used "cron" and "mplayer" on a Linux system to schedule and start the movie at the exact moment of the alarm, hooked up on a sound system with a 10" subwoofer. I never missed classes again.
Few war movies have managed to capture the dark and lonely atmosphere of a world conflict so well, and this is undoubtedly one of them. Everything here is so claustrophobic perfect and the final scene so... A timeless classic in every way.
My favorite sub movie ever this is a pulse pounding scene, it always sends a chill down my spine when the Captain roars ALAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then the music kicks in and the sub desperately tries to make a run for it, with enemy star shells bursting all around and warship shell-fire coming in from all sides coupled with all hell breaking loose inside the sub, first time I ever rooted for the Germans in a war movie, also got chills when the captain is up on top screaming like a madman trying to will his boat on through the overwhelming British response.
@@Icetea-2000 that is true but you need to understand, I was 10 years old when this movie first came out, I’m now in my early fifties and have seen many more WW2 and ww1 movies, like cross of iron and another which I forget the name but it was based on a book written by Sven Hassel, so nowadays there many movies where my loyalties are with the German forces, not only that my uncle Rudy was an NCO in the Wehrmacht during WW2 and I was fortunate enough to have him tell me about some of his experiences during the war. Hence why, since then, I have always had a lot of respect for the German armed forces during WW2, apart from the Waffen SS, F those guys, they were animals, even my uncle and a sizeable part of the men under his command hated them and also the Nazis.
@@mikekoch9259 Yeah, a lot of my family was in the German Armed Forces too. And all of their war records were precisely preserved and none of them were part in any war crimes. One grand uncle of mine even was in the Reiter-SS (horserider-SS) however, stationed in Denmark almost the whole war and also not involved in any war crimes or otherwise violence against civilians. Yeah the whole thing is complicated. I've come to the conclusion that every individual man shall be charged for what he did himself and not for any political allegiance
@@Icetea-2000 I agree with your sentiments in regards to any war crimes that were committed during the war, The SS units that my uncle encountered during the war were some of the ones responsible for killing Jews and carrying out reprisals against unarmed civilians throughout Russia and Poland, he saw some of the evidence of what they did and was absolutely disgusted by what he saw, thank god he was never forced into carrying out these inhuman acts. He was transferred from the Eastern Front after getting quite badly wounded saving a bunch of his men who were trapped behind Russian lines, even though he had been badly hurt, he managed to get all of his men to safety. He was sent to France to recuperate along with his division to allow them to rearm, refit and bring the manpower of the Division back up to full strength. after getting out of the hospital. He and his Division ended up staying in France after getting back to full fitness, becoming part of the defenders of Normandy, that's where just after D-Day in 1944 he was captured during a fierce battle with the Americans.
@@catherinebirch2399 This guy really gets to me, it looks so real. And his screaming...There are several other scenes later in this movie also where they are dressing his wound and he lies there and screams in agony. It's painful to watch...But at least he survived.
These U-boats were designed to operate on the surface most if the time (they look like boats), but as the war went on that became increasingly dangerous.
WWII-submarines would have done either if they could, but they did not had the technical possibility at this time. Submerged speeds were to slow and batteries were drained to fast. Type XXI was the first submarine, which was able to operate completely submerged due to the snorkel and very big batteries. It is the mother of all modern submarines.
Sam Boyer, he's the Diving Petty Officer of the Watch. His job is to initiate emergency flooding, supervise tanks and pumps, instruct crewmembers and check that everything is going fine. In this clip, he's quickly relieved by the Chief Engineer.
It actually helps make you go up in the morning hahaha. Since I started using this, I've never been late again :D, this scares the shit out of you on loud volume in the morning and you literally just fly up from the bed lmao. The cannon sounds from the Destroyers are loud as hell in my morning alarm.
I read in Herbert Werner's book (Uboat Commander's War) it actually has two currents travelling in opposite directions but a different depths. Still, one's obviously easier than the other.
+FloLac130184 It looks like a T-6 Texan. Might also be an SBD Dauntless, but those didn't have wing guns. Off chance, it could also be a model of a Blackburn Skua.
Yeah, the Germans in the 1930s and 1940s definitely weren't politically correct. In fact they had camps for political dissidents. I see the appeal for you.
The point is the effects don't resemble STAR shells which is what would've been used to illuminate the target but, hey, feel free to interpret other's comments at your own level.
obviously, those are flares to enlighten the night... the 'real shells' are not seen, neither night or day. but hey, stupid comments -stupid comments everywhere
dont get me wrong i love this movie and i actually watched the first time at the age of 3 😅 but i think it was dumb to dive because even if they didnt know the bow diveplane was damaged i would have evacuated the boat because all men had their "Tauchretter" (live jackets) on... but still a great movie 👍
roland That is in fact exactly what the Kaleun intended. He knew they were going to be sunk, so he tried to get as close to the coast as possible to heighten their chance of survival.
Not exactly ideal to evacuate the boat while a destroyer is peppering the tower with automatic cannons. Which is exactly what happened in real situations like this.
+playaN3 In real nobody got hit by a 20mm bullet but the Commander almost flew of the "Bridge" by the 2 Bombs Shock Waves.Read the Book its worth it...Real Commander btw was Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock
Allied radar turned the tide against the U-boats in 1943. The only way that Allied plane could find the sub is with radar, so 1942 is a bit early? In May 1943 the Allies sunk 41 U-boats and damaged 37 others. It was referred to as "Black May" at naval HQ in Berlin. Only 1 in 4 U-boat sailors survived the war. This film was based on U-96 which completed 11 wartime patrols and only lost 1 man who got sick and was transferred to another boat. U-96 was later used as a training boat and never went on patrol again.
I'm not quite sure if you read this comment. In the book it is stated that Gibraltar was incredibly well fortified.Therefore patrol ships were common place and night time planes probably just as common. Naturally such surveillance wasnt possible in the atlantic, but atleast in the strait of Gibraltar it was quite a master piece for any u boat to slip through,.
@@u.b.5366 I thought that was pretty clear in the film too - that's why some of the crew went apeshit when they heard they were headed for Gibraltar. I think in reality, one Uboat commander was actually shot for refusing to enter the strait of Gibraltar. Cowardice in the face of the enemy.
Can someone fluent in german explain the dialouge? It doesen't seem to make sense to me. Captain calls "alarm", they prepare to dive but someone yells not to dive because the captain is still on the bridge? Then the captain seems to give conflicting orders to both dive (flood) and both diesels full ahead?
it's hard to understand, even as a German, because there is so much noise and so many people shouting at the same time. But you got the beginning right: 1. 0:00 Captain calls "alarm", they prepare to dive 2. 0:08 his lieutenant shouts "dont dive, captain still on the bridge!" 3. 0:14 the captain shouts "air raid alarm! dont dive! both diesel!" (the "nicht" from "nicht fluten" = "dont dive" is a bit hard to hear, needed to rewatch it a few times too) 4. 0:20 the captain shouts "ready escape sets! prepare to abandon ship!" 5. 0:34 the captain shouts loosely translated: "both diesel engines and electric engines at full speed! hard starboard! course 180 degrees!" How i interpret this scene is as follows: They got attacked by an enemy combat aircraft. The first reaction of the captain is to call "alarm" because it's standard procedure. They did this so many times that it's an intuitive reaction. Normally, he then would have to go inside. But as he stays on the bridge, you can see he changed his mind within seconds. He knew that he and his crew had little to no chance of getting out of this fight alive. They were so extremely outnumbered, even if they dived, the enemies would have chased them down with everything they had. So he decides to go full speed at the african coast and maybe even crash the submarine, in the hope that his crew and him could make it out alive on their own. If they were fast and lucky enough, they had a little chance to reach the coast before taking a direct hit. Problem is, that the foundation of the port diesel engine cracked so it had to stop. His chief engineer told him this at 1:18. The captain orders to still give everything but eventually realizes that they wont make it, so he finally calls alarm again and decides to dive. This scene is just so chaotic and most members of the crew have to meet decisions within seconds. It shows war in a pretty realistic way imo but even as German i had to rewatch it several times to understand everything that's going on. As soon as the enemy discovered them they knew they were screwed. They were alone against dozens of enemies but they still grasped for every straw they got.
@@Cratz3r Thanks for the explonation, really good. I agree it's an amazing scene and I can imagine this happening in a highly stressful situation like this.
@@Cratz3r Zu deinem Punkt 3: Du hast wahrscheinlich "Fliegeralarm" verstanden. Aber der Kapitän ruft "Belege Alarm!". Belegen heißt in diesem Zusammenhang so viel wie Widerrufen. Damit widerruft er also das Alarmtauchen und bestätigt, dass das Boot an der Oberfläche bleiben soll.
@@volvo465 скорее всего на подходе, т. к. упали на грунт на приличной глубине. В самом проливе не так глубоко. трудно сказать, в какой конкретно точке в фильме, но в игре мне доставалось конкретно. На подходе долбили самолёты , а ночью при проходе через сам пролив топили эсминцы.
@@MoFernandezAt the point in the movie at 1941 or 1942 if I remember correctly, Allies didn’t have radar that could detect something as small as a periscope in the water. But in reality, most U-boats sent into the Mediterranean survived the strait cuz the strait’s sea currents make it ideal for sneaking through. The U-boats could also just sneak through using the Spanish african coast since it would’ve been a bad look for the British to patrol Spanish waters
The fanfare, the flares... "SCHNELLER!!! SCHNELLER!" It's beautiful
Artwork, amazing
Star shells, not flares 😉
Man bekam einen Eindruck, wie eine Besatzung das über einen längeren Zeitraum aushalten musste! Sehr gut.!!

This is from the 1981 movie, not the TV series...
Getting into the Med underwater is easy but getting out underwater
is virtually impossible in a WWII U-Boot. The current is much too strong.
I read in Herbert Werner's book (Uboat Commander's War) it actually has two currents travelling in opposite directions but a different depths. Still, one's obviously easier than the other.
Is that one guys only job to yell FLOOOOOD TAAANKS!!!!! whenever their is an alarm? after seeing the movie, it seems thats all he does.

If they were fast and lucky enough, they had a little chance to reach the coast before taking a direct hit. Problem is, that the foundation of the port diesel engine cracked so it had to stop. His chief engineer told him this at 1:18. The captain orders to still give everything but eventually realizes that they wont make it, so he finally calls alarm again and decides to dive.
This scene is just so chaotic and most members of the crew have to meet decisions within seconds. It shows war in a pretty realistic way imo but even as German i had to rewatch it several times to understand everything that's going on. As soon as the enemy discovered them they knew they were screwed. They were alone against dozens of enemies but they still grasped for every straw they got.
@@Cratz3r Thanks for the explonation, really good. I agree it's an amazing scene and I can imagine this happening in a highly stressful situation like this.
@@Cratz3r Zu deinem Punkt 3: Du hast wahrscheinlich "Fliegeralarm" verstanden. Aber der Kapitän ruft "Belege Alarm!". Belegen heißt in diesem Zusammenhang so viel wie Widerrufen. Damit widerruft er also das Alarmtauchen und bestätigt, dass das Boot an der Oberfläche bleiben soll.
ローレライがDas Boot艦内を参考にしたように思えるけど、参考書を一夜漬け読みする浪人生とそれを書いた大学の先生くらい差があるな‥ 低予算・安特撮も同じなのに。
Habe das Original ungekürzt.
Эта миссия есть в игре "Silent Hunter 3".
Да, только почему то события иначе происходят. В фильме они в какой точке конкретно Гибралтала были?
@@volvo465 скорее всего на подходе, т. к. упали на грунт на приличной глубине. В самом проливе не так глубоко. трудно сказать, в какой конкретно точке в фильме, но в игре мне доставалось конкретно. На подходе долбили самолёты , а ночью при проходе через сам пролив топили эсминцы.
@@Vladimir_Sabanin1162 они упали на 280 метром где-то, а в Silent Hunter эта дура и 200 не выдержит.
@@volvo465 в фильме,насколько помню, глубиномер зашкалил. Лечь на грунт в игре невозможно, лодка получает критические повреждения.
@@Vladimir_Sabanin1162 возможно, если без движно и на приемлемой глубине. Кстати, можно с тобой как-то связаться в соц.сетях. Вижу ты любишь эту тему.

If a submarine doesn’t want to be discovered: why not drive submerged with periscope only???
Slower movement and limited oxygen etc.
They have radar
@@MoFernandez don’t you mean sonar?
@@MoFernandezAt the point in the movie at 1941 or 1942 if I remember correctly, Allies didn’t have radar that could detect something as small as a periscope in the water.
But in reality, most U-boats sent into the Mediterranean survived the strait cuz the strait’s sea currents make it ideal for sneaking through. The U-boats could also just sneak through using the Spanish african coast since it would’ve been a bad look for the British to patrol Spanish waters
@@Awesomeduud The British controlled Gibraltar.
Fluuuuuuuuuuuuuuten!
