| 1588 | The Chatham Chest | The first attempt to organise welfare provision for Royal Navy seamen was established, the Chatham Chest. Contributions were deducted from sailors' pay and placed in the chest, which had five different locks, the keys being held by five officers, in a (not very successful) attempt to avoid corruption, with sums disbursed to seamen in distressed circumstances |

My father was in the Navy during the Second World War and when he was on his way back, I can remember standing with my mother at the gate, asking,
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 company soon turns into hell after the first shelling.
Trapped between fire and water, between fear and despair, between life and death, the team of the U96 experiences up close the destructive cruelty of the beast war. He's gonna 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 success 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. Intensive atmosphere and nerve-scattering tension created a milestone in German film and television history!
