I have seen it and liked it a lot.
Great mixture of facts and made up story. Definitely not up to Das Boot but definitely better than U-571.

Hi guys,

I saw it a few months ago when it was broadcast on the BBC and really enjoyed it. I wondered how they were going to portray Hartenstein. They portrayed him in a good light and, as far as I could tell, got quite a lot about this remarkable incident right. Worth seeing for sure.

Cheers,

Dougie

I finally found this and bought it, watched it today. Excellent. Uboat was very nice, would love to know more about production!). Everything was handled well. I thought casting was most excellent too. I HIGHLY recommend this, it's available on Amazon for about Euro 8/US$12.
