This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions.

I have a Great Uncle who is also 92. He emigrated to the USA; got drafted; had to fight his own; was disowned by his European Family; the ship that landed him in Africa was torpedoed after his group disembarked; the stern only did return... I grew up five blocks from him and sat at his table at least three days a week since I was four years old. He will not make it to 93. He was, and is, a Combat Engineer, he could not read English, and could only interpret blueprints so we made him an engineer. He was proud to be an American and provided for his wife and two daughters and gave them a far greater life than even he thought was possible. I don't (actually I guess I do) intend to be melancholy but he won't see too many more days. Please pray for a soldier ready to go home.

The uboat commander asks a man lying in a sick berth "if he believes in the fatherland" When the man confirms that he does, and repeats it after the question is asked again, he is man handled screaming into one of the tubes, and fired to the surface. there he is met by a waiting boat, but i seem to remember he spills the beans and tells them that it was a ruse by the Captain!

Can anyone out there tell me the name of the picture??? It is none of the regular suspects, and i have been working on this conundrum for 20 years or more. Did I imagine it, I am beginning to wonder...]]> fairwinds Movies and Films Wed, 31 Aug 2011 21:13:45 +0000 http://uboat.net/forums/read.php?4,84736,84736#msg-84736 http://uboat.net/forums/read.php?4,84736,84736#msg-84736 bjk38 Movies and Films Wed, 31 Aug 2011 21:14:38 +0000 http://uboat.net/forums/read.php?4,84453,84453#msg-84453 http://uboat.net/forums/read.php?4,84453,84453#msg-84453

Anyway, starting in minute 9:09 and ending in 9:51 there is an excellent montage of footage of "the happy time." It seems to be cobbled together newsreel footage of returning U-Boats, sinkings, and awards being handed out. I have three questions about this footage that I hope one of the U-Boat experts here at U-Boat.net can answer.

1. From minute 9:18~9:28 we see a returning U-Boat. On the conning tower there are the numerals "105.812" - is this U-105? If so what does the "812" designate. Can someone I.D. this U-Boat?

2.From minute 9:47~9:50 we see a capt. who has received the Knights Cross (with Oak Leaves and Swords as well I think). He has what in America we might call an Amish beard. Can someone I.D. this captain?

3. Can anyone point me to an online source of stock German footage of U-Boats/U-Boat crews?

Cheers,
Trench

BBC2 television are showing a drama film on "The Sinking of the Laconia".
Viewers from the United Kingdom and Ireland can see this TV drama on the 6th.and
7th.January 2011 at 21.00 (2 Episodes).
Might be worth watching.
