The ultimate movie about submarine war. Must be preserved for future.
If you haven't noticed, we're rewriting history now. Women and transgenders fought on both fronts.
The tv series is trying to do exactly this: cancelling the legacy of this movie cause it tries to tell you that not all nazis were beasts and that women, generally, didn't fight ww2.
@Anton eckhart Well said!
@Anton eckhart Agreed.
But the new series is still detracting from the old.
They should have called it something else.
@@pibe88iTa what are you talking about? It doesn't tell that not all nazis were beasts, it tells, that not all germans were nazis, and that's just a fact.
In the same way: Of course many were fanatic nazis. And all Nazis were beasts, because of that ideology.
This is the proper way to watch the best war film ever. In German with Enligsh subtitles.
'ALARM!!!'
Yeah, the languages are so similar. Like if you heard "Das ist mein u boot. Das ist gut, ja?" You wouldn't need subtitles. (I don't actually know any German so I probably make mistakes there)
I grew up with the English version, I really enjoy both. Interesting cut they did on the Eng. cut.
In Germany they say the opposite
ABSOLUTELY! 👍
""Anlaufbeginn!"
The destroyer coming into view and heading RIGHT AT THEM, coupled with that genuinely urgent “Alarm” followed by the swiftest emergency dive they’ve ever done is so chilling every time.
Especially at a resolution of 2 by 2 pixels 😀
@@psisteak4122 Especially at a resolution of 2 by 2 pixels, yeah
The sullen looks on some of their faces when they hear the bulkheads breaking says more things about war than any massively over budget Hollywood battle scene.
There is another scene where they sink a burning ship that had been attacked 4 hrs earlier only to realize that the crew hadn't been rescued yet, and one dude starts to cry.
Yup, that´s intense. Later the boat is very, very quiet, everyone just pushing their meal around, no one eating, until the captain says, to no one in particular: "There were at least a hundred. How many could we have picked up? 5? Maybe 10?"
@@maxinator80ify the one who starts to cry is the embedded reporter.
they didnt rescue after 41 anymore, due to british uboat hunting planes, wich had previously attacked uboats with rescued survivors on deck, wich were flying the red cross flag
I think "sullen" is a pejorative word. "Subdued" is probably better, and it is a contrast with their earlier elation at the torpedo hits. They're realizing what sinking is like for the men on board those ships, an perhaps what it might be like for themselves
@@IrishCarney Yes that is probably a more appropriate word to use in this context.
Better than 95% of the Big budget Hollywood war movies at least, because It was made with heart. I have never wanted a character to survive as much as i did with this movie
I served for 23 years in the brit submarine service. It's an addiction for all submariners to watch these films(maybe trying to relive own past) and I have to say that that this is as close to normal dived live as I've seen(conventional boats) Our boats in the early 60's were still not much better than theirs in the 40's
thank you for your service
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The brit?
Hearing the ships sinking gives me shivers every time. It reminds me of standing in an underground train station or subway and hearing the approaching train in the darkness, and the squealing of the train wheels grinding on the tracks and echoing through the tunnel.
Yes. They got the cavitation/breakup sounds all too realistically. When you heard that through hydrophones (or through naked bulkheads) it always meant death. If you were lucky, it was the other side. If you were unlucky, it was one of yours. If you were TRULY unlucky...it was what you heard before your hatch blew in.
War is hell. That was the end message of Das Boot.
@@ArchTeryx00 It's the end message of all good war films.
I was born in Germany and my grandmother (May God rest her soul) assembled the diesel- electric engines that went inside the U-Boats.
Amazing
Awesome!
One of my best friends in college was born of German parents in Mexico (like Number One). His mother was one of the technicians who worked at Peenemumde. Her job was to conduct timing trials of torpedoes.
The shot that goes from the engine room all the way foward during the dive is astonishing.
I saw this movie in a small packed cramped underground theater at a 10:00 pm showing in 1981 during the first week it premiered. Everyone was on the edge of their seat the entire movie. We all felt we couldnt claustrophobic and sweaty. It was like stuck underwater with them. Watching sailors drown hit me like a ton of bricks. The whole experience left in indedible impression on me.
Saw this at the Jax Junior
In Littleton NH. Powerful experience. “A true movie to experience” while other movies often come up short.
The best part of this movie is the fog of war around it. The Captain knows there are other U-boats out there, but not where. Or if they're still alive. Or where the escorts are. Or what they're armed with. All they, or we, know is the boat.
Das Boot "Director's Cut", one of the best of all time.
Actually made you feel awful for the Kriegsmarine.
I could watch this scene 100 times and still get goosebumps
The original English version trailer described them as "Lost men fighting a Lost war."
It had to be obvious when the war broke out about the Naval disparity between the Allies and the Kriegsmarine, especially after the "happy time" was over. But these men soldiered on, suffering 75% casualties in the process.
you can hate the cause but respect the men. and these men certainly had nothing to do with the atrocities.
Agree, what a way to go to war....men of steel...on ALL sides.
Read the book by Luther Gunther Bucheim.
'Second Attack' is a chapter that will live with you forever.
The TV series is even better than the directors cut!
Teresa Sch. I gotta see it one day!!!!!!!
Those ships breaking up and sinking is literally their death cries along with countless sailors on them. The looks on the German sailors' faces is captured perfectly-there's nothing glorious about war, but better him than me. Anyone else playing the game 'Uboat'?
This is actually, real accurate stuff. Most submarine attacks (US & German) were night, surface attacks. The boats were very slow under water and hard to maneuver. Plus, you have a much better view from the bridge, than from a periscope, especially at night. Once radar became common on allied ships, night surface attacks became much more difficult. Luckily for the US Navy, Japanese merchant shipping never had the use of radar.
Pretty sure these were special circumstances where there were no obvious escorts
If they had seen any escorts they would have dashed closer then proceeded with a submerged shot
@@kptlt.phillipthomsen5973 No, Rory is correct
@@SuperiorBrick Yeah no he's not
@@kptlt.phillipthomsen5973 Yes he is. Early war, most attacks happened on the surface. Submerged, the Type VII only went 8 Knots submerged. It was slow.
@@drowssapma One common tactic was to overtake the convoy, get into position, then submerge and let the target come to you. This was possible, because subs were generally faster on the surface than most convoys. It was a popular tactic with the Americans, because their submarines had radar. Even for the Germans it was still possible. Even if convoy escorts had radar, the conning tower of a U-boat doesn't present a huge target and detection over a very long range isn't certain. It is a big disadvantage for the submarine of course, if the convoy zick-zacks away from the boat or if the boat is detected in any way. That is why they used the U-boats pretty much like submersible torpedo boats in the early war.
Many years ago the BBC showed this in several weekly episodes (Sunday 10pm) and I actually felt the tension! It was the first war time movie (in my case)which showed the Germans as human beings...rather than baby eating thugs.
I saw the same series on the BBC, was young at the time, had never seen anything like it before.
Arved Ludwig right, who crewed all the merchant ships the U-boats sank?
@@BoxStudioExecutive the merchant navy ?
@@BoxStudioExecutive Civilians serving as Merchant Seamen. Similar to most War Combatants .. Civilians serving in the various branches of the Armed Forces.
Arved Ludwig, civilians were running the ships in the convoy to feed their nation no conscription no military, just merchant seamen without guns, just life jackets, I’m here because my dad survived a couple of sinkings, unlike 50,000 civilians who didn’t.
Later in the battle of The Atlantic the merchants got guns to shoot back, until then these armed raiders had the balance of power.
The war of the Atlantic fascinates me endlessly. The changing dynamic of the hunter to the hunted, the methodology, the patience, skill, calculation, ingenuity, discipline, determination. Just amazing. Too bad it was all done to the most horrific of ends.
And if there had been a conventional World War 3 it would have happened all over again, but this time with Russians in the subs. (The Soviets gave their East German clients top notch air and ground weapons but no subs. Interestingly the Poles got subs...)
Most of the uboot aces would pop up in the middle of convoy and shoot; hard for a destrou
Destroyer to hit back...
@@mikearakelian6368The ballsy captains would also stay close to the surface at periscope depth cuz early ASDIC had trouble with things close to the surface, plus the fact that the screws of the convoy hid them well.
My dad took me to see this in the theatre. I was blown away and still appreciate my pop taking me to this movie.
Man it was the perfect combination of happiness for the hits on the ships .... and immediate remorse for the deaths. The acting in this movie was stellar!
I still annually celebrate the lives of my grandfather and the German crew who sunk his ship with the grandsons and granddaughters of the crew who sunk him. We had to FaceTime it the last 2 years but I’m looking forward to going to the bar in Lorient where we drink a toast in our grandfather’s honor. We hope both the victor and the vanquished can see us. And we hope they respect us for honoring them in the way we do
Starting at 4:00 is the best tour of a Uboat you'll ever get without visiting in person. All the way from the batteries to the forward torpedo tubes in about 15 seconds...
A hit on a merchant ship usually killed everyone on watch in the engine room. I spent my career in the engine room of ships, I have seen fires, high pressure fuel leaks and flooding. I have worked with veterans who survived the Atlantic and Russian convoys. I was a watchkeeper when Iran and Iraq were both firing missiles at our ships and we had one 38 cal revolver on board for defense. I heard VHF radio calls from other ships under attack. If you can't see the problem, imagine going to work and people are either side of the road throwing bombs at you - it would be a tragedy, eh? , but nobody cares about Merchant seamen.
My Father told my Mum the worst thing was the convoys did not stop and the screaming of the sailors burning in oil haunted him for ever, was a sailor for 35 years and never learnt to swim, said it was better to die n 30 seconds than to die of hypothermia 2 hours later.
My Grandfather claimed engine room men would pee on their cracked/split hands (from oil) to help heal them 😝
Here's a better idea - stay the fuck home and fix your own problems, nobody needs your freedom, especially coming from the end of a rifle barrel.
My dad was in the Merchant Marines during WW2 both in the Atlantic & the Pacific. Greg
Merchant seamen veterans are largely overlooked. We forgot ours. There was a man in our village who served on the Murmansk route, the most dangerous of them all. The UK government had forgot them, so had everyone else of import, save Her Majesty and Vladimir Putin. For all his faults Putin has a sense of gratitude and respect, he was upset that these veterans had been forgotten. In 2002 he wrote to every surviving veteran of the Murmansk convoy in person, the letter was accompanied by a processed letter from the Russian embassy with an invididual citation letter and a special service medal placed in the folder. These packages were hand delivered by embassy staff to all known veterans of the convoy worldwide. I saw the copy twice at village reunions, it was a most unexpected but treasured possession. To be remembered 60 years late is better than being forgotten completely.
Losses on the Murmansk run were horrendous, as the route took ships into the Arctic circle where German bombers could reach them from Norway, the RAF could not, ice patrol was not available and you dare not turn on the lights to look for them. If wrecked there was no point putting on a life raft as you would die before reaching the nearest ship.
It was a suicide run that happened to be essential to keep the Soviets in the war.
This movie is one of my all time favorites. Went to a mid-night matinee and had no idea it was about subs and war. I remember not liking the subtitles before the movie started but I was completely absorbed and forgot I was even reading anything. An amazing movie!
Even though you can't see the English subtitles, it matters little. The expressions on their faces tell the whole story. Fantastic movie.
That single take shot of everyone going to dive positions surpasses a lot of modern cinematography.
Fantastic. One of the best scenes in war movie history. The gravity on their faces when they hear the destruction of their charges..
Das ist mit Abstand der beste Film dens gibt ! Locker 7 mal geschaut und der Sägefisch ist unter der Haut
I was privileged enough to meet a vet who served on a Liberty Ship today. The stocky old man casually and luckily bragging that he made numerous crossings physically unscathed. He told me two things that will stick with me... 1) he said that the German u-boat crews knew what they were doing (that their tactics were superior to what the Americans and British had); 2) he pointed at me and said boys younger than me (I'm 23) were very messed up by their experiences aboard those ships.
Every man and woman who served in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters were of a different breed. War is a cruel, cruel thing. God bless them all.
Every man and women, it was 50/50 right?
@@martinchenier6946 there were plenty of women who helped the navies and merchants make their crossings. As for the actual ratio, I can't imagine it being anything close to 1:1. Especially since seafaring ships usually were only male crews. But women certainly helped at the ports and on some surface ships.
My Father was in the Atlantic and on the Artic convoys as a stoker, also Atlantic Star, Italy Star, Africa Star Arctic Medal and WWII Star.
I remember a sociologist saying that the generations of today would never hold up with what the WW2’s did. Guess he’s right. 2 years of Covid & civil war almost broke out.
@@samanthab1923 Oh that's all kinds of bullshit literally every generation has been upset about the soft young whippersnappers ruining everything.
4:23 "au, mein bein!" :DDD
The sound at 6:41 is so eerie. The sound work in this film was amazing
BEST U-BOAT MOVIE EVER,,

That short red-headed officer makes me laugh. Comic relief lol. Although extremely dangerous one can feel the rush waiting for torpedo impact. Nerve-racking in so many ways.

Mein Vater geboren 1920 war auch einer dieser grauen Wölfe. Nach fast vier Jahren auf Feindfahrt würde das Boot Ende 1943 von den Tommys geknackt. Danach 4,5 Jahre Kriegsgefangenschaft in Canada und Schottland, aber nie ein böses Wort über die Engländer. Die besten deutschen Soldaten im zweiten Weltkrieg.
I love the amazing soundtrack. It’s really cool. It sounds like some kind of epic-military-tale in the North Atlantic!
I agree most people credit Jurassic Park as the first movie to use dramatic sounds. Das Boot was 20yrs ahead of them. Possibly because it was a German Movie and not an American movie people don't realize it.
SirXavior Das Boot is underrated. Period.
Especially when the music changed from uplifting to menacing when that destroyer showed up dead ahead of the U-boat. It amplified the danger they are in.
This one of the tightest movies I've ever see, about anything. The fact that they Know what the caving bulkhead sounds mean, real horror and not a drop of blood on screen.
Something about sub movies gets me. Das Boot is the far and away best EVER. Additionally, it very well may be the best war movie ever. Imagine the difficulty to be honest to the interior tightness of a sub.... especially a u-boat! Clancy's HFRO is my favorite sub book.
Pure perfection
Well i am just glad they filtered this through a potato before it was posted.
Loooong before the movie i read the book version of this when I was a little kid. While most wanted to be athletes or astronauts I wanted to be a U-boat commander (ok, I was a weird kid). Thrilled to no end to have not only it made into a movie but that movie to be GREAT and completely represent the book. Genius work!
Chapters Storm 1 and Storm 2. I joined the Army.
@@mikhailiagacesa3406 Lol. I hear you. I joined the Army too after not being impressed by stories i heard from US Navy vets. Probably a good thing, found i was pretty prone to motion sickness in enclosed spaces without a window (in my case, C-130's before a jump). Days in a sub in a storm? Ouch.
The song is called simply "Convoy" and is on the soundtrack as composed by Klaus Doldinger. Look for it on Amazon.
I was 12 years old when I met a guy with impressive remote control ships at l"Feringasee" northeast of munich. The man was called Rolf and he told me that the ships are for a movie about a submarine. He invited me to see more at the "Bavaria Film Studio" where they built this fabolous model of the submarine. I ran at least 50 times full speed through the boat without banging my head :) ..The actors had much more difficulties and suffered badly..ha ha ha! It was agreat time for me and I could go there whenever it was possible for me....I will never forget it and still feel privileged that I´ve been at this place at this time.
All I can think about is one toilet in that submarine.
One toilet.
2 actually.. Captain had his own tiny bathroom.
@@7thSmurf always thought the bathrooms were separated like that 1 for officers and 1 for crew
@@7thSmurf Captain did NOT have his own bathroom. It even says in the film. TWO toilets, but the aft toilet is stuffed full of food stores (because it was right next to the sub's tiny galley). Only when the food had been consumed was the second toilet available. Captain took his turn with the rest of the crew.
My father sailed on a Liberty Ship during the war . He had stories but their was great fear of the U-Boat attacks no doubt .
Many U. S. Merchant Marines never came home . If a ship was hit and men in the water they were not allowed to stop and pull them out . If you did you were a sitting duck .
Pretty scarey stuff .
It's not only that you were a sitting duck, there was a)no space on the u-boats but b)there was an incident of a boat actually carrying survivors, running surfaced with lifeboats in tow and with a Red Cross flag being deliberately bombed by US bombers despite having informed everyone of what they were doing and asking for support by any nation. That resulted in an explicit order not to take prisoners anymore, unless in cases where they could give information vital to the boat's mission (Laconia-Order)
Oliver H I don't doubt what you mentioned . People are unaware that the Germans were far better people than what is portrayed in movies and propaganda documentaries . My grandfather was a soldier in the Italian Army during ww1 . Wounded and taken prisoner by the German Army . He was treated and cared for with respect not to mention excellent medical care . He was so grateful to a German Nurse that he named my mother after her when born .
My great-grandfather worked at the Kriegsmarinewerft in Hamburg. One day there was an air attack, and everyone had assigned bunkers they were supposed to go to, but he didnt get inside the one he was supposed to go to because it was full so he had to go into another one. when the attack ended, he found that the bunker being full saved his life, as that one got a direct hit by a bunkerbuster, killing everyone inside.
In a historic documentary, it was told that news concerning U-boat-attacks on the USA were kept silent for the American audience in order not to cause panic. Also the American naval commander disregarded the warnings of the English navy that the U-boats attacked the american coast. Due to this, the Germans could easily attack the US shipping lanes, coast and drop spies and sabotage-teams in the US.
I'm a Midshipman at the US Merchant Marine Academy. It's a horrible thing to think about. There's a song we sing here called "Heave Ho" and there's a verse that goes "Damn the submarine, we're the men of the Merchant Marine!" I salute to your father sir.
The best movie there is 👍
I consistently watch at least 4 films per week. Historical, westerns, thrillers, actions, epics, Oscar worthy, Koreans, Bollywood but this always remains one of the greatest scenes in my opinion. I bought the DVD series (blue ray) and I have 0 regrets.
The morbidity of being excited by the knowledge and sounds of the boats you hit going down as the destroyer approaches to do the same to you...shows you how blood lust wins out over fear
0:27 "Fetter Brocken" means "big chunk" (that submariner - played by Martin Semmelrogge - speaks the Berlin dialect of the lower classes, which isn't easy to translate with all those connotations and colloquialisms)
'' Berlin dialect of the lower classes'' ????? is the a Berlin dialect of the upper classes????
@@harryhirsch8527 Why wouldn't there be? There's an upper class / "BBC" accent associated with London, as in the (financial) "City'", the politicians, upper bureaucracy, etc., and then there's the lower class Cockney / East End accent too.

I saw this movie in 2013 . I loved this movie
The music for this is simply magnificent.
Amazing camerawork when they run through the portals. That camera technique where the operator has it attached to him on a belt was years away.
From jubilation to taciturn "They're drowning" Respect to the Uboat guys.
It´s not that correct translated. He says: "Die saufen ab!" ("They´re going down!"). "Absaufen" is a slang term for "sinking" ( the normal german word is "untergehen"). "Drowning" would be "ertrinken".
You forgot the term outside of parenthesis is NOT 2, but (6 divide by 2). So it's (6/2)(1+2)=(6/2*1 + 6/2*2) = 3+6 = 9

Squids is crazy, worked with one.
6 months no sun in a tube with all the water in the world trying to kill you.
Brilliant film.
What i love is how the film has so many smooth camera movements instead of cutting every few seconds. it really brings out how tight these U-Boats were. Sadly you dont see this kind of thing anymore nowadays.
I love how the soundtrack just booms

hahahaha aber bitte mit schmäh
I spent 25 years in the USN and you could not pay me enough to serve on a sub. No way!
My Grabdfather was a radar operator on an LST during WWII and he was assigned to a submarine in the Pacific, he never told me which one to fill in and help repair their sonar equipment. He said he never felt so scared except being inside one of those subs, but he was also 6'3" and for him on a sub had to be awful. He said he was never so happy as when he was able to get back on the LST again.
Well, the subs today are not exactly (in fact, hardly) as small as the subs in WWII. Different animals entirely.
@@scottrichardson8158 Doesn't matter. I would never serve on one. If you want to, have at it. I am already retired from the USN so I don't have to worry about it. Made it through without setting foot on one.
Actually they held their own against escorted convoys until the Allies created new technology. It would see-saw back and forth for 3 years before the Allies secured a technological and numerical advantage. Stuff like escorts carriers, Hedgehogs, and Magnetic Anomaly detectors sealed the fate of the U-boat crews.
Add to the fact the Fleet Air received more aircraft and began flying day and night and then received B-24 Liberators which could fly to Iceland and back. The Germans had bring in the snorkel for they're boats fast track the Type 21 Boats etc.
greatest submarine movie of 1981 and still be the greatest for 2021
On the edge of my seat
perhaps the greatest sub scene in any movie ever made
Esta obra maestra debe estar sin lugar a dudas en entre las mejores peliculas de su genero..
I saw this movie in the theater when it came out. I was a kid, so I didn’t understand all of it, but it was an edge of your seat movie even at my young age.
I'm so glad they made a movie showing the war from the "other side". So sick of seeing "We're the best we defeated the Germans" bullshit British and American war movies. War is war, and 9/10 soldiers on both sides hated it.
CM i agree with you,first the generals hate war
Uh. yeah asshole, we did defeat the Germans and ended Nazism.
And yet Germans volunteered for their submarine service instead of staying home. You should spare your pity for their victims.
john mcdonald he meant it as "I am tired of watching British and American war movies.
You defeat the Germans??
I watched this when I first got Netflix, I liked it. I am not one for watching war movies because they are usually too far fetched for me but I thought this was very well done and very realistic.
great ending, just one of thousands of war efforts that turned out to be pointless for the men who accomplished them, war is ironic in a weird way
The soundtrack in this is....... sublime.
best scene this movie...
Timeless masterpice.
If this takes place in late 1941, then this was right between the two "Happy Times" for U-Boats, the time they had the greatest kill ratio. The first from July 1940 to April 1941, and the second from January 1942 to August 1942.
history,s best submarine attack...
Hearing the hull breaking and screams underwater, no wonder they get shell-shocked (modern day PTSD) when they get back home
Best war movie ever,made you feel you were there with them.The actors were very likeable but I hated the way it ended,They had been through absolute hell only to end like that.I have the DVD in my collection,also the music soundtrack guess I just love it
Irene Loring. I totally agree Irene! It is fun though to actually watch a WW2 movie where you totally root for the GERMANS!!😄

You are correct. No matter what side you are, humans are still humans. War. War never changes.
@@rockyracoon3233 You don't have to root for anyone, maybe just for the irony and sadness that war brought to humanity and the earth: destruction.

Der Film ist einfach nur Genial .
Thank you!
fantastic war movie....
me as captain: "ALL AHEAD FULL, we are NOT running silent! (turns on war music) engine room, give me EVERYTHING she's got! warm AFT torpedo! and standby to blow those tanks and take me to periscope depth." and once the aft torpedo is warmed, i set it to magnetic pistol mode (due to the poor angle) and fire it directly behind me.. making enough noise to ensure they hear me and can follow directly behind me.
if that fails (magnetic pistols were bad back then), i'll go under about 40m slowly and silently near them (as they chase my vessel) and bait a shallow depth charge run.. where i will crash dive at full throttle and hard rudder.. if we don't die then the explosions will hide us from their sonar long enough that i can run silent to the ocean's bottom and sit. the ocean floor will hide us from their sonar. and then we wait. hopefully, they think they got us and go away. it's night time, so they may expect to struggle to locate oil and debris. if we can't reach the ocean floor, then same strat but hauling ass away from them instead during the depth charge explosions and then running silent and deep with frequent course changes. all only assuming the magnetic pistol fails, and it might not. this situation is why you should also stock up on sonar decoys.
One thing i love this movie

@@codiersklave I saw both movies back in the 1960s in college in Michigan. They made a serious impression on me that I carried throughout my life. I also went to war, thank god it wasn’t like that. Yeah, Great Movies.
@@codiersklave I just wanted to add, when I saw these movies, I was young and seeing the world for the first time. I grew up on good old American ww2 movies. After I saw the Germans productions, I concluded most American movies are just made to entertain, and make money in the American audience. They are not documentaries. Some movies have gotten better over time. These movies where about men of war. Real men, Real war. and kids of war. (Ps: I saw kids used in a war. Nothing I could do about it. I was in a fucking war. I saw a lot of shit. I live with it, Nothing I could do. Not like the movies).
@@oldmech619 I am sorry you had to go through that. I really am. No matter which war it was, nobody should have to go through that and see stuff like that.
As for American vs. German war movies, I'd say there's nothing wrong with wanting to entertain. Let's be honest, neither "Die Brücke" nor "Das Boot" are making you feel good or have fun. And, especially as a German, they don't make you feel particularly patriotic, as well. It becomes problematic when people mistake it to be accurate depictions of what happened. Not even the "good" movies can achieve that. I think the biggest problem is that the people who actually lived through that time and go through that hell are dying out. There's simply no one left on any side to object against some of the BS that is put out nowadays. "Fury" comes to mind, or even "Saving Private Ryan".
think of how many weeks they were out on patrol, and it all comes down to these eight minutes.
I used to have one of those gray leather jackets when I was in High School. I bought it from a surplus store.
