On this table was a very large book illuminated by the overhead lamp. The book dealt specifically with the names of submarines lost on war service. It went even further as it also mentioned the individual names of officers and crew who had perished. I found myself automatically turning the huge thick pages over until I came to HMS
Sickle
, the submarine I had served in. I found the appropriate page, and read down the list of officers and men. I received another "eerie feeling" within an hour of my first. I read my own name, there it was Petty Officer Rose (a reporting of my demise).
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!
