that must be a great feeling, seeing other people on yourside so close that you can wave at eachother, probably such a rush of warmth and security in such an unsecure place.
It was the exact opposite. The captain got filled with a felling of dread and uncertainty, as with only 12 u-boats on patrol they should NEVER see another U-boat. That means something has gone terribly wrong and somone has made a huge mistake. As well it allows for the English to get through more easily, meaning th at they are failing at their very mission.
Wolfgang is such a genius on creating the best Anti-War movie ever. As good as Apocalypse now. Thank you for your pictures Wolfgang! May you you Live long in paradise.
By the way, this movie is disgusting! This propaganda movie has nothing to do with reality! The German submarine sailors and especially the captains were heroes to the German Nazi propaganda. They were heroes of Nazi propaganda and they were very happy to be! In this German propaganda movie the opposite is shown and these Nazi soldiers are turned in this movie into heroes who were actually opponents of the German Nazi government. Really evil, mendacious propaganda! If one look closely. One can't see a swastika under the eagles on their caps. If one wonders why. A Swastika on the cap does not suit to a German heroes. There are no swastikas on the caps. Because if swastikas were constantly to be seen in the close-ups, that would disturb the propaganda effect. Because this is a propaganda movie. It is supposed to show that the German submarine sailors were not Nazis. That should then be transferred to the entire German nation. Contrary to historical truth. The historical truth was that the overwhelming majority of the submarine sailors were supporters of the German Nazi government, like since 1936 at the latest was the overwhelming majority of Germans too! But exactly the opposite is suggested in this mendacious propaganda movie. The Nazi submarine sailors and officers played a special role in German propaganda. They were the heroes of the entire nation and they enjoyed the appreciation of the entire Nazi nation. There were especially many honors for them also receptions. They were courted like movie stars. All Germans loved them as heroes! In this movie they are actually also honored. There is also a reception in honor of the officer on a cruise ship. But our German heroes in this mendacious movie are of course only disgusted by the pomp. Propaganda that has nothing to do with reality.
The Ka-Leu looked as if he wanted to punch Leutnant Werner in the mouth for his "connections" remark-coupled with the frustration of the storm blowing everyone off course and the larger strategic implications of the 'loose net' allowing convoys to slip through.
I love this scene. Being on such a dangerous machine in such a hostile environment, these giant metal beasts cutting through each wave. And then, through the spray and fog... Another U-boat.. another group of men doing the exact same thing as you, friends in the same boat but not.
I like it in the fact that it highlights that a naval crew during a major war has more dangers than being discovered or killed by the enemy. You have boredom that can drive one mad. You could still sink by natural disasters, or be swept off of your boat. Even the strongest swimmer would never survive that.
There was a case during the war where the entire bridge watch of a U-Boat was swept away by a large following wave and lost at sea. The force of the wave must have broken every man's safety harness. Just another shocking incident in a truly shocking war.

THat was a very dangerous manoeuvre. There was one case where, in conditions MUCH calmer than this, one U boat ran across the bows of another. They both promptly sank. The Captain was right to be furious about the boats being so close together, albeit that was for a different reason.
i think that's just a result of them using a projector shot as a background and a prop conning tower for the actors to stand on, makes it look like the friendly is much closer than reality. limitation of the film.

From what I've read in books it soon got unbelievably and incredibly smelly on board the U-boats. Yes it was also unimaginably dangerous too. Huge respect to them.

Seen it in the Theater in 82, and went back again same year. Still one of my top ten. Jürgen Prochnow stole the movie as he did in The Seventh Sign with Demi Moore in 88. Another top ten.

Was my go-to-movie in 82! Was a submariner myself back then! German navy! Must say, living on a german submarine is quite an experience, even in peace times!
@@maltehenryk1409 WTF, Das Boot is definitely an anti war film.. dude. It is about submarine crews who were sent into dangerous missions by the High Command regardless of their dire situation.. even there was a criticism on Nazi in this film. These crews just did their job, but not for the Nazi cause.. even they mocked a Nazi radio speech and switched into a British song broadcast. Troy too is an anti war story. Remember that two nations basically at war & civilian life perished just because a prince carelessly abducted away the other kingdom's princess.. thus, it was used as justification for the other kingdom to declare war at his kingdom.
@@Cyan_Nightingale My perspective is a little different than that. I do understand why many see Das Boot as strictly an anti-war movie but the way I see it the film is simply honest about what it means to fight in a war. It clearly displays the terror and hardship but it also isn't silent about things like the courage, energetic excitement of battle and comradship. Also the criticism of big shot politicians who are running their mouths while the crew do the hard and dangerous work or the military leadership whose errors are putting their lives at risk wasn't really against the "Nazi cause". The war clearly wasn't a black/white conflict and it's naive to see it through such a modern lens. So even if it was anti-Nazi (which it isn't) that doesn't equal anti-war. Troy on the other hand is an adventure film based on an ancient epic. I'm pretty sure you won't find a single movie magazine that classifies it as a war or anti-war film. ;)

@@Cyan_Nightingale It is a war movie. People watch it for the thrill. The fact that it has a tragic ending does not change that. You can identify anti-war movies quite easily: The action is in the background, and the suffering is on full display. _
I enjoyed the TV series much more than the cinema version, as a lot of content got lost. Understandable, as the TV serial lasted 32 hours, showing the ups and (more) downs being on patrol for month, including long periods of bugging around...! To everyone who loves the movie, I can only higly recommend to watch the TV series also
"Beide Maschinen stopp", "both engines stop"... I'm no sailor, but I doubt that this would happen in a storm. At such a rough sea, you cannot stop the machines of such a small vessel, otherwise the boat would turn away from the waves and capsize. Whatever: DAS IST THOMSEN! THOMSEN!!!
Ehh, not exactly. U-96 would've most likely had its ballast tanks partially flooded at this time for some ballast to counteract the heavy sea state. It's only a temporary stop too to avoid collision. The Skipper gives the order for all half back not more than a minute later.
It was definitely under "dramatic license". No, they would not have come to a full stop. Maybe slow bell, even slow bell on one shaft, but not full stop. They would continue to maneuver into the waves.
I saw this movie in Germany with my German girlfriend. Very powerful movie. I also saw Herbert Grönemeyer, one of the main actors on the film, in concert in Germany in 1986
Yes a great antiwar movie but also one of the greatest recreations I have seen of what it is like to sail our oceans. Well based on my experience anyway.

I gotta ask someone who served in weather like that, how did you keep the objective lenses dry and clear? Were they really useful getting splashed like that?
I assume you are asking about the binoculars. I was in this kind of weather, but I was in the engine room. But from my vague memory, they wouldn't be using binoculars. They would just be using regular vision. You can't see very far because of the rain, clouds, and waves.

Later in the Miniseries they received radio transmissions from BdU calling in Thomsen's boat to report, but they don't answer back. The Old Man is visibly distraught.
I' m understand every single word, of course! here we have ln the hamburg harbour we have a shelter, thete's lies two boats...my father show us! ...imptessing!
It would have been funny if it had been a British or an American submarine running on top of the water that the U-boat passed in that storm. Could have asked if they had any Grey Poupon Mustard?
I hate the fact that even a century later, we are still demonizing one side of this terrible conflict, when they were just... people. Just people, doing their job and their duty, most of them following their dreams. Many, sadly, being manipulated or even pressured, but still, many heroes, leaders, and visionaries. Overall, however, most of them were just regular people like you and me, who never committed any attrocities. We need more movies like Das Boot, in my opinion. Sadly, with the absolute insanity that is leftist extremism lately, we might never again get another movie like this, or like Downfall, another movie which expertly portrays the human side of WW2 Germany, amongst other things.
I lost it when you went "leftist" crap. Yeah, we know. They even criticized thier own damn government in this very movie. We all know who the bad guys are.

Be assured, this is an anti war movie! The suffering of the crew is the main focus point. Not a shred of glory, more or less pure reality. Believe a former submariner, even if I didn´t experience WW2!
@@macdieter23558 You are joking, right? Every action movie shows suffering of the crew. That's usually the third act, the low point, when a crew member is killed and everyone is depressed, before they find new confidence in the fourth act and overcome adversity in the fifth act. Which is exactly what happens in this movie. Anti-war movies show the suffering of the other side; the victims of your attacks. And yes, I know that there is that scene when U96 sinks a ship hours after the first attack and realise that there were still seaman aboard. But we don't really see those poor souls, just shadows through binoculars, and we hear the KaLeu complain about it. Sorry, but nothing about this movie is anti-war. This movie is what soldiers watch in the barracks in the evening, just like Full Metal Jacket. _
@jonathanbirch2022 I explicitly mentioned that scene; it does not count because we don't really see their suffering, plus, it is "their own fault". And in Full Metal Jacket, we do not get to see the suffering of the Vietnamese people at all, except in that very last scene when the sniper turns out to be that very young girl. Again: There is a reason why soldiers watch those movies in their barracks. They are war movies. They are darker than the war movies from the 60s and 70s, but war movies nonetheless. _
@jonathanbirch2022 So I can make a war movie to attract jarheads, and all I have to do is CLAIM that it is an anti-war movie, and PRESTO! it is? That's not how it works. No suffering, no anti-war movie. THAT is how it works. _
The money spent on Bismarck, Tirpitz, Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, etc would probably have given better value to the Kriegsmarine if they had built more U-Boats instead.
Had Germany any real leadership in the years leading up to 1939 and it may have realized that it had been hoodwinked by one of the greediest and most self righteous human beings the planet has ever known.
@@richardstuart325 Can't just make those assumptions, the British wouldn't have built the KGV class for example and spent the raw material on convoy escorts instead.
Useless wishful thinking. It is just as saying that if Germany had 100k tanks in 1940 they would have won the war. Even if Germany decided to completely abandon the idea of building their surface fleet they it is doubtful if they could be able to build 500 UBoots until 1940. And even if they managed to achieve that, they would still lose a land war to the Soviets. Let alone the fact that the germans would not be able to operate this many UBoots in 1940 due to insufficient amount of trained crews. It should also be noted that in only two months of the war the german navy and luftwaffe were able to sink more merchant ships than the UK produced in this same month. Meaning that Germany never even came remotely close to winning the battle of the Atlantic. When US joined the war their new required goal of merchant ships to sink was unachievable. Allies would still be able to counter UBoots (seeing how they would not need to build a surface fleet to challenge the german fleet) and could concentrate on escort ships they were badly lacking. Either way in 1943 again the allies would be sinking more UBoots than germans would be sinking merchant ships, so Germany would lose the way anyway :)

How is it anti-war? Name one thing that is anti-war about this movie. I dare you.

@@ricksimon9867 I’m not gonna waste time with you. It’s an Anti-War film. Go investigate why Das Boot is an Anti War film.
The Ka-Leu looked as if he wanted to punch Leutnant Werner in the mouth for his "connections" remark-coupled with the frustration of the storm blowing everyone off course and the larger strategic implications of the 'loose net' allowing convoys to slip through.
I love this scene. Being on such a dangerous machine in such a hostile environment, these giant metal beasts cutting through each wave. And then, through the spray and fog... Another U-boat.. another group of men doing the exact same thing as you, friends in the same boat but not.
I like it in the fact that it highlights that a naval crew during a major war has more dangers than being discovered or killed by the enemy. You have boredom that can drive one mad. You could still sink by natural disasters, or be swept off of your boat. Even the strongest swimmer would never survive that.
There was a case during the war where the entire bridge watch of a U-Boat was swept away by a large following wave and lost at sea. The force of the wave must have broken every man's safety harness. Just another shocking incident in a truly shocking war.
i heard about that one, apparently the crew below didn't notice them gone until the changing of the watch.
@@grond2250 Shit, that makes it sound so much more horrible than just being washed overboard! Not that the crew could have done anything.

Yes, along with "The Enemy Below."
Watching Das Boot in German language is one of the best things ever.
Mein Lebensmotto😊 - Das muss das Boot aushalten
bin ganz bei Dir.
"... abkönnen."
THat was a very dangerous manoeuvre. There was one case where, in conditions MUCH calmer than this, one U boat ran across the bows of another. They both promptly sank. The Captain was right to be furious about the boats being so close together, albeit that was for a different reason.
i think that's just a result of them using a projector shot as a background and a prop conning tower for the actors to stand on, makes it look like the friendly is much closer than reality. limitation of the film.
The best movie of all time

It’s up there!
That is what they say.
I couldnt even imagine going to war in the cramped fart box that is a submarine. It must have been so uncomfortable and terrifying
From what I've read in books it soon got unbelievably and incredibly smelly on board the U-boats. Yes it was also unimaginably dangerous too. Huge respect to them.

How good was that movie, outstanding
Rest in Peace Wolfgang Petersen. Das Boot and Troy are my favorite anti-war films.
It's up for debate whether or not Das Boot is an anti-war film. But Troy?
Come on...
Is Lord of the Rings an ant-war film as well? 😁
@@maltehenryk1409 WTF, Das Boot is definitely an anti war film.. dude. It is about submarine crews who were sent into dangerous missions by the High Command regardless of their dire situation.. even there was a criticism on Nazi in this film. These crews just did their job, but not for the Nazi cause.. even they mocked a Nazi radio speech and switched into a British song broadcast.
Troy too is an anti war story. Remember that two nations basically at war & civilian life perished just because a prince carelessly abducted away the other kingdom's princess.. thus, it was used as justification for the other kingdom to declare war at his kingdom.
@@Cyan_Nightingale My perspective is a little different than that.
I do understand why many see Das Boot as strictly an anti-war movie but the way I see it the film is simply honest about what it means to fight in a war.
It clearly displays the terror and hardship but it also isn't silent about things like the courage, energetic excitement of battle and comradship.
Also the criticism of big shot politicians who are running their mouths while the crew do the hard and dangerous work or the military leadership whose errors are putting their lives at risk wasn't really against the "Nazi cause".
The war clearly wasn't a black/white conflict and it's naive to see it through such a modern lens.
So even if it was anti-Nazi (which it isn't) that doesn't equal anti-war.
Troy on the other hand is an adventure film based on an ancient epic. I'm pretty sure you won't find a single movie magazine that classifies it as a war or anti-war film. ;)

Dankeschòn . Das ist mein liebe Film von duetsche UBOOT.
Running into an ally in such a desperate time would be the single most exciting site to see.
The conversation with the navigator was cut from the theatrical version. Losing all context of the scene.
I enjoyed the TV series much more than the cinema version, as a lot of content got lost.
Understandable, as the TV serial lasted 32 hours, showing the ups and (more) downs being on patrol for month, including long periods of bugging around...!
To everyone who loves the movie, I can only higly recommend to watch the TV series also
Great special effects for that era.
This movie is awesone
I have a painting of the U-Boots meeting i got in Kiel. Looks lovely framed😅.
"Beide Maschinen stopp", "both engines stop"... I'm no sailor, but I doubt that this would happen in a storm. At such a rough sea, you cannot stop the machines of such a small vessel, otherwise the boat would turn away from the waves and capsize.
Whatever: DAS IST THOMSEN! THOMSEN!!!
Ehh, not exactly. U-96 would've most likely had its ballast tanks partially flooded at this time for some ballast to counteract the heavy sea state. It's only a temporary stop too to avoid collision. The Skipper gives the order for all half back not more than a minute later.
It was definitely under "dramatic license". No, they would not have come to a full stop. Maybe slow bell, even slow bell on one shaft, but not full stop. They would continue to maneuver into the waves.
I saw this movie in Germany with my German girlfriend. Very powerful movie. I also saw Herbert
Grönemeyer, one of the main actors on the film, in concert in Germany in 1986
As a english speaking? Because the film ?
Yes a great antiwar movie but also one of the greatest recreations I have seen of what it is like to sail our oceans. Well based on my experience anyway.

I gotta ask someone who served in weather like that, how did you keep the objective lenses dry and clear? Were they really useful getting splashed like that?
I assume you are asking about the binoculars. I was in this kind of weather, but I was in the engine room. But from my vague memory, they wouldn't be using binoculars. They would just be using regular vision. You can't see very far because of the rain, clouds, and waves.

I hate the fact that even a century later, we are still demonizing one side of this terrible conflict, when they were just... people. Just people, doing their job and their duty, most of them following their dreams. Many, sadly, being manipulated or even pressured, but still, many heroes, leaders, and visionaries. Overall, however, most of them were just regular people like you and me, who never committed any attrocities.
We need more movies like Das Boot, in my opinion.
Sadly, with the absolute insanity that is leftist extremism lately, we might never again get another movie like this, or like Downfall, another movie which expertly portrays the human side of WW2 Germany, amongst other things.
I lost it when you went "leftist" crap.

Be assured, this is an anti war movie! The suffering of the crew is the main focus point. Not a shred of glory, more or less pure reality. Believe a former submariner, even if I didn´t experience WW2!
@@macdieter23558
You are joking, right? Every action movie shows suffering of the crew. That's usually the third act, the low point, when a crew member is killed and everyone is depressed, before they find new confidence in the fourth act and overcome adversity in the fifth act. Which is exactly what happens in this movie.
Anti-war movies show the suffering of the other side; the victims of your attacks. And yes, I know that there is that scene when U96 sinks a ship hours after the first attack and realise that there were still seaman aboard. But we don't really see those poor souls, just shadows through binoculars, and we hear the KaLeu complain about it.
Sorry, but nothing about this movie is anti-war. This movie is what soldiers watch in the barracks in the evening, just like Full Metal Jacket.
_
@jonathanbirch2022
I explicitly mentioned that scene; it does not count because we don't really see their suffering, plus, it is "their own fault". And in Full Metal Jacket, we do not get to see the suffering of the Vietnamese people at all, except in that very last scene when the sniper turns out to be that very young girl.
Again: There is a reason why soldiers watch those movies in their barracks. They are war movies. They are darker than the war movies from the 60s and 70s, but war movies nonetheless.

@jonathanbirch2022
So I can make a war movie to attract jarheads, and all I have to do is CLAIM that it is an anti-war movie, and PRESTO! it is?
That's not how it works. No suffering, no anti-war movie. THAT is how it works.

Claiming that FMJ is satire is ludicrous. Everything depicted in that movie was realistic.
Had we had 500 UBOATS in 1940 the war would have been over in our favor very soon.
The money spent on Bismarck, Tirpitz, Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, etc would probably have given better value to the Kriegsmarine if they had built more U-Boats instead.
I’m sure those in concentration camps would have been comforted by your words…..
Had Germany any real leadership in the years leading up to 1939 and it may have realized that it had been hoodwinked by one of the greediest and most self righteous human beings the planet has ever known.
@@richardstuart325 Can't just make those assumptions, the British wouldn't have built the KGV class for example and spent the raw material on convoy escorts instead.
Useless wishful thinking. It is just as saying that if Germany had 100k tanks in 1940 they would have won the war. Even if Germany decided to completely abandon the idea of building their surface fleet they it is doubtful if they could be able to build 500 UBoots until 1940. And even if they managed to achieve that, they would still lose a land war to the Soviets. Let alone the fact that the germans would not be able to operate this many UBoots in 1940 due to insufficient amount of trained crews.
It should also be noted that in only two months of the war the german navy and luftwaffe were able to sink more merchant ships than the UK produced in this same month. Meaning that Germany never even came remotely close to winning the battle of the Atlantic. When US joined the war their new required goal of merchant ships to sink was unachievable. Allies would still be able to counter UBoots (seeing how they would not need to build a surface fleet to challenge the german fleet) and could concentrate on escort ships they were badly lacking. Either way in 1943 again the allies would be sinking more UBoots than germans would be sinking merchant ships, so Germany would lose the way anyway :)
all war films are pro-war, not anti-war. you bugs are incapable of understanding this. das boot is a great war film.
"Oh, yes, he´s a great pretender, pretending that he has a brain!
But because he´s a bug, we don´t give a f...!
He doesnt know any thing"
melody of "The great pretender"
War movies show the war as something glorious! This film definitely does NOT. If you don´t see that, it shows how uneducated you are!
No war film is pro-war.
Why is this movie about a submarine when the title suggests it's about an article of footwear? Very confusing.
Google translate is your friend. Boot = BOAT. Or are you just trolling?
@@OroborusFMA A boot is not a boat. Nice try.
@@elijahbey3366Here, a boat is a submarine, whereas a boot is what you have currently up your yoompah
i thought "das boot" was a movie about das shoes
Don´t think so much ...
By the way, this movie is disgusting! This propaganda movie has nothing to do with reality! The German submarine sailors and especially the captains were heroes to the German Nazi propaganda. They were heroes of Nazi propaganda and they were very happy to be! In this German propaganda movie the opposite is shown and these Nazi soldiers are turned in this movie into heroes who were actually opponents of the German Nazi government. Really evil, mendacious propaganda! If one look closely. One can't see a swastika under the eagles on their caps. If one wonders why. A Swastika on the cap does not suit to a German heroes. There are no swastikas on the caps. Because if swastikas were constantly to be seen in the close-ups, that would disturb the propaganda effect. Because this is a propaganda movie. It is supposed to show that the German submarine sailors were not Nazis. That should then be transferred to the entire German nation. Contrary to historical truth. The historical truth was that the overwhelming majority of the submarine sailors were supporters of the German Nazi government, like since 1936 at the latest was the overwhelming majority of Germans too! But exactly the opposite is suggested in this mendacious propaganda movie. The Nazi submarine sailors and officers played a special role in German propaganda. They were the heroes of the entire nation and they enjoyed the appreciation of the entire Nazi nation. There were especially many honors for them also receptions. They were courted like movie stars. All Germans loved them as heroes! In this movie they are actually also honored. There is also a reception in honor of the officer on a cruise ship. But our German heroes in this mendacious movie are of course only disgusted by the pomp. Propaganda that has nothing to do with reality.
You have no sole
