Johann, the Chief Mechanic and the man who cracked in the earlier attack is back in business and giving orders. The crew of U-96 get to work under the guidance of their Captain and Chiefs. Pressure can be a great motivator and nothing motivates people more than do or die scenarios if they can keep their head. The Captain works on getting accurate information out to the crew on what the damage is and gets them to work to contain the rising number of problems. The other is do your best with what you can. What do you do?įaced with the worst case scenario, its not surprising panic and hysteria can take over but thats one choice. On top of that Co2 levels are rising so they are facing either suffocation or drowning. The U-boat is taking on water, one of the crew members is shot, they can't surface the boat and the batteries they need to run the engines are flooded.

Who hasn't messed up in stressful situations? I don't know about you, maybe you've nerves of steel but if I was in a tin can under 200 metres of water with a ship determined to sink me to the bottom of the sea and the only thing I could do was whimper.i'd probably crack too. He had done 9 missions in pretty tough conditions to be fair to him. Afterwards, feeling ashamed and embarrassed Johann visits the Captain, apologises and is granted forgiveness. There is a particular moment in the film when the U-boat is being depth charged by an allied destroyer (If you're not familiar with a depth charge, see here) and Chief Mechanic, Johann, suffers a mental breakdown in front of the Captain only for the crew to subdue him and ultimately save his life from an armed and angry Captain.

It had some serious life lessons in there previously missed by me while awaiting the next showing of 'Hey Arnold'.There is a serious lack of films from the German perspective of WW2.

In any case, 'Das Boot' is a film about a German U-boat (U-96) crew in World War 2 who are dispatched to the middle of the Atlantic to sink allied shipping and two things immediately struck me about it. I watched it once as a kid and figured i'd give it another go as the plot usually goes over your head when your main life priority at that point revolves the Animaniacs and endless reruns of 'Hey Arnold' on Nickelodeon. I was browsing Netflix last night, as you do, and came across the 1980's classic 'Das Boot'.
