I am certain it was combat footage. The U-boat was not passive in the complete footage I saw.! A second question related to above. I know shallow depth bombs and depth charges were the main anti-sub weapons and that machine guns would be deadly to personnel but would airborne machine guns or automatic cannon, 20mm, etc, be lethal to the sub itself by penetrating the pressure hull? I imagine puncturing the ballast tanks is another possibility...
