    Nazi judges just aren't as scary with that proper English accent articulating the words (with a mild attempt at a German accent).
    If found guilty, ye shall be put to death. Cheerio !
    Bad casting for that part

    Somewhat disingenuous to change the ending… why was that done?

    Have listened to dozens of stories on UA-cam. This stands out by far the best in every respect. Read Folletts books years ago, remembering his name in the first place to choose to listen. Great recording of a great story. even better being true. I'm a novelist. Thanksalot!

    how refreshing to hear about the Germans instead of the British - trust Follett to find out and write about this U-boat. Excellent play and thanks for uploading

    understandable though it is, I cannot listen to it without even an attempt at German accents :')

    AWSOME.. I was hoping the box wasn't found and another escaped and blew the boat up, the guy who un-armed the missels got hanged and the captain that waved his shirt was cleared on any wrong doings..

    you could at least make a try at a German pronunciation and use their words for lieutenant, etc. we all understand 'Nein' and 'Ja, mein commandant'. it's 'Shtine' not Stein, for instance. this sounds like a British crew. it spoils it for me - i guess i'm in the minority though. they do the same with a French story. one thing for Hollywood, we do use accents and proper words. it's so much more realistic.

      It was made in 1975 for a British audiance. Perhaps you could build a time-machine and complain in person? Personally, I think you're an entitled, whiney, butthole -and I guess I'm not in the minority.
