This is a very powerful film. You follow a German U-Boat Crew in operations during the second world war. The film really draws you into sympathy for what the crew was going through. As a Brit watching you forget that they are 'The Enemy' in the War, until a confrontation with the English. At that point you really have to think 'Whose Side are you on?', and realise that it really doesn't matter, these are individual people caught up in the tragedy of war. Friend or Foe, they still feel the same fear, pain and face the same prospect of death if they don't destroy their enemy first.
