It's a fictional story (involving a U-boat and a Sub that took part in the war) with William Macy. After being torp'd by the U-429, some of the crew of the USS Swordfish are taken aboard as prisoner where they then learn what it's like to evade late war allied anti sub groups.

Historically not worth looking into as the USS Swordfish was depth charged with the loss of all hands whilst on it's way to Okinawa and never saw action in the Atlantic. U-429 survived until March '45 and was then sunk in Wilhelmshaven by US bombers. so it all sounds a bit U-571. I believe it was made to go straight to dvd but the footage looks good. Can't find it for sale here in Australia so would appreciate opinions.

I've seen it and I think it was just plain rubbish. Basic B-movie :zzz:

The interior of the german sub doesn't resemble a WW2 sub. It's like a US sub. Interesting, but not realistic. :nope:
