Can anyone help me find where i can obtain the full 6 hour series of "Das Boot" in German with English subtitles, and any information on a boat that reportedly had three serving Japanese officers on board who commited suicide as the boat surrendered to the US navy. I believe the boat was carrying plutonium to Japan as the signal for all U Boats to surrender was given. And the captain had the choice of giving his boat and crew to the Canadians or Americans, he gave the Canadians a false position of his boat in order to be taken by the Americans. A name or boat number would be great thanks.
