<HTML> I am not a regular (or even frequent) visitor to this site, but I certainly share your
interest in U-Boats. If I can\'t get an answer to this here, I give up.
While in Nice, France, in 1992, I saw a video on a music video channel of two U-Boats underway in the ocean. Although I was some distance from the TV in a crowded cafe and unable to hear the television very well, it seemed that the video was set to a fast-paced piece of classical music (similar to \"Heimkehr\" on the Das Boot soundtrack). It was, however, definitely on a music video channel.
I understand that a propaganda film, \"Westward Ho\", was put out in the very early stages of the war at Hitler\'s instruction, and that two U-Boats were set up with film equipment for the presentation.
Question 1: Is this some of that footage?
Question 2: Can anyone tell me what this is, and if it is available?
Thank you for your help.</HTML>
