Fate: Believed to have been sunk 'With All Hands' on 6th August 1942 after an attack on an Italian convoy in the Mediterranean in position 34°25'N, 22°36'E. A Ju-88 aircraft had been seen to make a machine-gun attack ahead of the convoy. The Italian torpedo boat Pegaso then detected a contact and carried out a series of depth charge attacks. After seven attacks, a large air bubble was seen, as was a large oil slick. HMS Thorn had been expected to arrive at Beirut but was declared overdue on 11th August 1942 when she did not arrive. |

Autumn 1941: U96 departs for enemy flight in La Rochelle, France. In the steel belly of the submarine, 50 men crowd close, among them the young Lieutenant Werner, who came on board as a war correspondent. What begins as a quiet routine for the company soon turns into hell after the first shelling.
Trapped between fire and water, between fear and despair, between life and death, the crew of the U96 experiences up close the destructive cruelty of the beast war. He's going to change them all. If they survive it.
You don't have to say many words about 'Das Boot' anymore: Wolfgang Petersen's dramatic film adaptation of Lothar-Günther Buchheim's successful novel was the first true blockbuster in German cinema history. Das Boot made his director an international star and his largely unknown actors into familiar faces. Das Boot was celebrated worldwide and was nominated for the Oscar six times.
Four years later, the six-part TV series was released, which takes an even more detailed and unobstructed look at the crew and their experiences on board the U96. In 1997, the director's cut was released in terms of cut, image and sound. An intensive atmosphere and nerve-scattering tension created a milestone in German film and television history!
