the funny thing is, that the english subtitles are so wrong.....^^ they have the wrong context, usw a very false tanslation etc. the engineer at the beginning who says in the subtitles that they should cut of the extra fuel says in german something different. they should look out for the lockings of the external half open fuel bunkers and their fuel level. later he calls someone who goes and makes a dumb joke a lunatic. in german the one who goes by doesnt say: a good way to burn fuel. he says: das schafft was weg. if you translate it to english it would be something more like thats burning a lot. and the engineer replies with: blöde sau. in english not lunatic but more like asshole the list is long and every scene has its mistakes etc
Dieser Film ist das beste was es gibt um sich in die Lage solcher Männer zu versetzen die diesen Krieg mitgemacht haben. Es wird nichts beschönigt oder verschwiegen. Es zeigt den puren Wahnsinn und Tod dieser Zeit. Ein Meisterwerk. Damals wie heute ungeschlagen!
Of all the background music in this film this is my favorite. I like how the score for this scene interweaves the elements suggesting the anticipation of the hunt, the throbbing of the diesels and the crash of the waves.
I watched this movie when I was five with my Dad. Ever since then, I have become an amateur historian of the U-Boat war. Greatest movie ever. For those that are gamers, strongly recommend Silent Hunter III and IV. Check them out in youtube videos. The graphics and gameplay is unbelievable. White knuckles on the keyboard during a depth charge attack. Couldn't imagine the real thing......
Same here bro. I went to the German army when I was 19 but I’m to tall for submarines :/ but I inked the sword fish on my shoulder instead haha this movie changed my life I think !
Those are called "indication cocks", and are valves connected to the cylinder of the engine; they serve three purposes: To make sure that there is no water (from condensation) inside the cylinder before starting the engine; take meassurements of pressure (with a manometer attached to them) and, as in this case, just check that the piston is firing correctly. Good movie! Cheers.
I've been inside the set in Munich, at Bavaria Film Studios. It's even smaller and much more cramped in person. I remember being in the control room, standing in the centre with my arms outstretched. There was only about six inches of room on either side of my arms.
@DanRage47 The Crew never was supposed to be 24. It always used to be at least 42 Men on the Type VII A; the Type VII C had at least 44 and was later increased to 52. A few have been refitted to Flak-U-Boats with three Anti Aircraft Guns which required even more Men. But these were rather botched Modifications which were quickly withdrawn as they turned out to be Rubbish (unsurprisingly), so there arent any official Numbers around but the Crew was at least 56-58. Anyway, Point is that the Type VII always were designed for Hot Bunking and the increasing Number of Men aboard ment that some had to sleep in Hammocks suspended from the "Ceiling", as depicted in the Movie. The Ratings Accomodation where all this happend also was the Forward Torpedo Room, hence they were sitting on the two Spare Torpedoes which were stored below the Flooring Plates (not a Deck because Decks are structurally integral) and sleeping below the four Torpedoes which were stored right behind the four Forward Torpedo Tubes, ready to be reloaded within Minutes. Removing the Bunks in the Torpedo Room was one of the Attack Preparations when hunting a Convoy.
Absolutely...without a doubt this is one of the finest, most thrilling and emotionally involving war movies ever made. Watch it in German with english subtitles.
1:11 - the translation is slightly off. What he actually says is, "to make some room here". The extra torpedoes were stored in the crew quarters; three sailors had to share a bunk until those extra torpedoes were gone; after that, a few more bunks could be set up instead, so that "only" two sailors would have to share one bunk.
This was a truly amazing movie. You really got a sense for the unique type pf person it took to sail in one of these things. The cramped quarters, the heat, the smells, the sense of hopelessness and desperation and one of the most ironic endings I've ever seen in a war movie.
When the U boat dives the man run to the front of the boat to help it balance down faster. The merchant seaman that they sunk never get awarded medals as they are not naval military. Lest we forget.
@@samanli-tw3id They got snubbed too. Weren’t accorded veteran status. Even though more merchant men died at sea in WW2 than any branch in the US Armed Forces during the war.
ID LIKE TO DEDICATE THIS SCENE FROM DAS BOOT TO MY MOTHER CHRISTINA..ITS HER FAVORITE SCENE IN THE MOVIE...SHE REALLY LOVED IT....ESPECIALLY THE MUSIC...I LOVE YOU MOM...YOUR SON
Hitler's "Eagles Nest" further up the mountain from his "Bergoff" survived the war. It's called "Kehlsteinhaus" and is currently a restaurant. The back up generator there is powered by a U boat engine, it is still serviced and still runs to this day. There are vids of it on UA-cam.
It's my favourite submarine movie. It's all about men, their ship and their task. Not about politic or idealogical stuff. They just try to do their job and go back home safe. They have to fight for their country but don't want to die for Nazi stupid things. Most of the crewmen don't care of Nazi ideology.
Yea until 1943 when the allies started using airplanes and destroyers with great effect and decimated the uboats. 237 uboats sunk in 1943 compared to 35 in 1941. 241 uboats sunk in 1944 and 153 sunk in 45. There was literally only a handful left by the end of the war. The uboats became outdated almost overnight. Now if the e-boats would have seen service, it would have been different. Try reading "Iron Coffins" by uboat captain Herbert Werner and educate yourself.
Ah, the german U-boats. A marvel of human engineering! Or as someone said; the germans made the best weapons the world had ever seen, for the worst cause ever fought for. I just wish I could sail aboard one just to know what it feels like.
TelemachX Your Irish mate is right. I always watch this film in German, and read the subtitles. It does not work any other way. A fantastic film, and the ending really shows the futility and irony of war.
I went to see hte premiere of the movie in ann arbor, michingan in 1982, the hall was full of WWII veterans from the area, some were crying when the movie ended, it predated saving private ryan in realism by some 20 years....
The Films you postet are good, but none of them let me feel like you were in the movie. Das Boot gives a brilliant atmosphere, none of the other Films do. ;)
Anyone who has served on subs will tell you that Das Boot is the most realistic submarine movie ever made. It is one of perhaps a dozen movies that I have ever watched more than once and I have viewed it at least three times.
The actual patrol when the naval war correspondent was on board was actually quite a pleasant trip sort of, only minor damage from a swordfish torpedo plane with at least one ship sunk :DD
I love the cheesy english subtitles. The captain swears several times in the film and the English subtitles are "Oh No!". And that engineer in this clip did NOT say 'Lunatic' :)
if you want to just hear the audio you can type in "Das Boot - U-96" the video of the officers eating the lemons should be the one you are looking for.
I saw this movie after it was dubbed in English. Would have been nice to see it in the German version with sub-titles. Had a friend who served on U.S. diesel subs. He said the most memorable things about them was the pervasive smell of diesel oil. When he was in the theater watching the film he could smell diesel oil! An U.S.reviewer said a German sub is stalkng a convoy and a British destroyer is stalking the sub. You're for the destroyer, right? Not if you're watching this film!
I love this film over 30 years, and it is nice that so many actors stars in germany, with right! Herbert Grönemeyer the war correspondent for example is a great musik artist . Look at "Mensch" Herbert Grönemeyer.
Agreed. He very well could have padded his record. I still definitely think it is worth reading however as you pointed out as I believe there is much to learn about the battle of the Atlantic that one may not have previously known.
I love the way how in this scene the sounds of the diesel engines syncs in time perfectly with the music
I like how this scene appreciates the machinists. Very important people on every boat
The Boat which crashes tthrough the waves, rdy for the hunt...especially with the soundtrack..truly epic!
Daaаas Bоооооt mоoооviе hеrе => twitter.com/db855e3c72368ca21/status/822768426175238144 Daаaas Bооt U Bооооаt оn thе Hunt
I hate nazi.s God bless Cornwall
When this first came out on DVD long ago, I never once switched to the English Dub audio ever.
IMDRanged Best way to watch it.
the funny thing is, that the english subtitles are so wrong.....^^
they have the wrong context, usw a very false tanslation etc.
the engineer at the beginning who says in the subtitles that they should cut of the extra fuel says in german something different.
they should look out for the lockings of the external half open fuel bunkers and their fuel level.
later he calls someone who goes and makes a dumb joke a lunatic.
in german the one who goes by doesnt say: a good way to burn fuel. he says: das schafft was weg. if you translate it to english it would be something more like thats burning a lot.
and the engineer replies with: blöde sau. in english not lunatic but more like asshole
the list is long and every scene has its mistakes etc
The English dub is actually pretty good - all the main actors spoke English so they had them dub their own lines.
I do the same, when i watch japanese anime XD
Dieser Film ist das beste was es gibt um sich in die Lage solcher Männer zu versetzen die diesen Krieg mitgemacht haben. Es wird nichts beschönigt oder verschwiegen. Es zeigt den puren Wahnsinn und Tod dieser Zeit. Ein Meisterwerk. Damals wie heute ungeschlagen!
Of all the background music in this film this is my favorite. I like how the score for this scene interweaves the elements suggesting the anticipation of the hunt, the throbbing of the diesels and the crash of the waves.
Also the intro to this scenes, where he sits on the periscope, is a great contrast and makes it even better. And its a bit silly XD
UBOAT hitting those waves like that, with the soundtrack... badass
I watched this movie when I was five with my Dad. Ever since then, I have become an amateur historian of the U-Boat war. Greatest movie ever.

Good movie! Cheers.
fucking awesome movie!
agreed! Best! Im in love with Ario and Piligrim
when i see some scenes from "Das Boot" i always want to play SilentHunter 3.. :)
I've been inside the set in Munich, at Bavaria Film Studios. It's even smaller and much more cramped in person. I remember being in the control room, standing in the centre with my arms outstretched. There was only about six inches of room on either side of my arms.
Submarine on the surface in rough weather was BRUTAL ! My Dad was on One in 45 !
Fantastic Movie . Those boats, that life , that era . They all shared that regardless of Fealty . Can you imagine it today ?
1:00 dude was just chilling on 2 torpedoes.
@DanRage47 The Crew never was supposed to be 24. It always used to be at least 42 Men on the Type VII A; the Type VII C had at least 44 and was later increased to 52.

Watch it in German with english subtitles.
THE BEST FILM OF SUBMARINE EVER DONE!
una de las peliculas mas chingonas de toda la historia.

Das Boot ist eines meiner bevorzugten Filme aller Zeiten.
R.I.P. Friedrich Grade (1916-2023), L.I. auf U96.
Working on a U-Boat wouldn't be a cake-walk at the best of times, but being an engine-room mechanic must've been a different level of suffering
Being on a U-Boat is a differnet level of suffering
This was a truly amazing movie. You really got a sense for the unique type pf person it took to sail in one of these things. The cramped quarters, the heat, the smells, the sense of hopelessness and desperation and one of the most ironic endings I've ever seen in a war movie.
One of my Favorite scenes 🤙😍
the best war film ever made!!!!
damit hier platz wiiirrrrdddd
2:06 that 80's audio quality is ridiculously charming
Absolut einer der besten Antikriegsfilme die es gibt.
On ne fera jamais mieux que ce chef d'œuvre.
One of the BEST movies of all time period!
Me too. This is perhaps the best scene in the film. The music gives you a sense of speed and action that will soon happen.
When the U boat dives the man run to the front of the boat to help it balance down faster.
The merchant seaman that they sunk never get awarded medals as they are not naval military.
Lest we forget.
What about US Merchant Marine?
@@samanli-tw3id They got snubbed too. Weren’t accorded veteran status. Even though more merchant men died at sea in WW2 than any branch in the US Armed Forces during the war.
seen it about 20 times, read the book twice, and got the normal version, the directors cut and the short series
ID LIKE TO DEDICATE THIS SCENE FROM DAS BOOT TO MY MOTHER CHRISTINA..ITS HER FAVORITE SCENE IN THE MOVIE...SHE REALLY LOVED IT....ESPECIALLY THE MUSIC...I LOVE YOU MOM...YOUR SON
Eine der besten Szenen aus dem Film. Immer wieder gut!
Finally! Someone with enough courtesy to put subtitles on clips of Das Boot on UA-cam!
Danke!
Great scenes and especially the engines I find them facinating.
Hitler's "Eagles Nest" further up the mountain from his "Bergoff" survived the war. It's called "Kehlsteinhaus" and is currently a restaurant. The back up generator there is powered by a U boat engine, it is still serviced and still runs to this day. There are vids of it on UA-cam.
In addition to the U-boats already mentioned which are on display in Chicago and Kiel there is U-2540 in Bremerhaven.
This is the best movie I have ever seen!
Einer der besten Filme die ich je gesehen hab.
It's my favourite submarine movie. It's all about men, their ship and their task. Not about politic or idealogical stuff. They just try to do their job and go back home safe.

Greatest documentary ever made?
u-boat on the hunt....what a movie.
Yea until 1943 when the allies started using airplanes and destroyers with great effect and decimated the uboats. 237 uboats sunk in 1943 compared to 35 in 1941. 241 uboats sunk in 1944 and 153 sunk in 45.

I love the music in this bit so much.Fantastic soundtrack.

TelemachX
Your Irish mate is right.
I always watch this film in German, and read the subtitles. It does not work any other way.
A fantastic film, and the ending really shows the futility and irony of war.
god i started watching this movie at 12.00 and now its 4.00am. One of the best movies i ever watched.
I went to see hte premiere of the movie in ann arbor, michingan in 1982, the hall was full of WWII veterans from the area, some were crying when the movie ended, it predated saving private ryan in realism by some 20 years....
This is the best movie ever made about WWII..I need to see it again.
he controlls the culor of the flame. so he can see if the machine is running good or not.
Checking the ignition in the cylinders.
awesome!!! Love the extra mins.!
You could not say it more right. I love this film, it is the best warmovie.
I think that it is the best movie of all categories
they check that the cylinder is burning the fuel right. if the color isn´t steelblue the engine or fuel injection has to be adjusted or repaired.
This movie really shows some things, look how the dedicated engineers are just minding their "diesels" it is really realistic.
Just an awe inspiring film in every way.
defo one o the best war films ever made i think even better than private ryan.
The Films you postet are good, but none of them let me feel like you were in the movie. Das Boot gives a brilliant atmosphere, none of the other Films do. ;)
Immer noch Hammer der Film.Habe den Directors Cut.Nur Geil und die Musik geht voll unter die Haut.Ein Meisterwerk.
Epic movie, dont get much better than Das Boot
this is one of the movies i've ever seen
this is the best u-boat movie ever!!
that was "in den Diesel" ... means "lets go to the Engine room" :D
40,000 of these BRAVE men went to sea. 30,000 never came back. Please don't condem them!
Anyone who has served on subs will tell you that Das Boot is the most realistic submarine movie ever made. It is one of perhaps a dozen movies that I have ever watched more than once and I have viewed it at least three times.
the best u-boat movie ever made!
all time best war movie.....
The actual patrol when the naval war correspondent was on board was actually quite a pleasant trip sort of, only minor damage from a swordfish torpedo plane with at least one ship sunk :DD
Yes my friend , the list of movies you yelled out are all most excellent movies, but no one will ever touch "Das Boot".
This one of the best movies EVER!!!!
one of the best movie seen...
this is an awesome movie
The tune is from the soundtrack, called 'Konvoi'. You can also find it on youtube, just search for 'Das Boot Konvoi'.
Best scene bar far
I love the cheesy english subtitles. The captain swears several times in the film and the English subtitles are "Oh No!". And that engineer in this clip did NOT say 'Lunatic' :)
wut did he say? pls tell
He said "asshole"
amazing music!!
@Kaarlo It's actually track number 7, "Konvoi".
The best naval movie ever.
THE MUSIC IS GREAT!
if you want to just hear the audio you can type in "Das Boot - U-96" the video of the officers eating the lemons should be the one you are looking for.
watched this film so many times but still can't stop crying at the end
Me too
One of the first movie where was used a steady cam. With talent
NeverStop no Steadycam! All handheld! ;-)
I saw this movie after it was dubbed in English. Would have been nice to see it in the German version with sub-titles.
Had a friend who served on U.S. diesel subs. He said the most memorable things about them was the pervasive smell of diesel oil. When he was in the theater watching the film he could smell diesel oil!
An U.S.reviewer said a German sub is stalkng a convoy and a British destroyer is stalking the sub. You're for the destroyer, right? Not if you're watching this film!
No, director's cut is 209 minutes. The uncut version is 293 minutes.
Well, actually, this is THE BEST u-boat-movie ever!!
GREAT!!!!
Fantastic music!!!!
yeahhhhhhhhhh
I buy the uncut version.
U-995 is in Laboe, this is near Kiel.
Best war film ever made !!!!
Back emergency!
ale machine stop!
torpedo backstep top jackelein!
ni chi se!
Jawohl!
i love this movie!
I love this film over 30 years, and it is nice that so many actors stars in germany, with right!
Herbert Grönemeyer the war correspondent for example is a great musik artist .
Look at "Mensch" Herbert Grönemeyer.
If i ever wanted to join the navy its because of this movie!!!
Agreed. He very well could have padded his record. I still definitely think it is worth reading however as you pointed out as I believe there is much to learn about the battle of the Atlantic that one may not have previously known.
fantastic movie....
@NKA23
Stimmt, ich war selber 4 Jahre bei der deutschen Bundesmarine, da sagt man noch immer Warschau! Das ist halt Marinejargon!
Very good
it's weird people criticize both the Nazis, the "Holocaust" and Germany for the 2nd war and never comment that slavery was much worse than all this
excellent music. great flick. very realistic I have seen.
Wunderbar Musik!
