Well I disagree.. it's not because it's entertainment that they have to rewrite and dumb down history simply because they are to lazy to write a decent script and instead want easy big action. We already have History Channel for dumbed down history... But even they at least get the destroyer classes right for the theater.

It costs just as much to do it right and the result would have been a much better movie.
Was Das Boot a documentary? No
Was it entertainment? yes
Was it done with respect for history? yes

Was it a better movie? without a doubt and nobody will disagree with me on that.


That anybody will read a book because of this movie.. I'm calling Big BS on that.. many kids will go home thinking that was how WW2 was fought...
