<HTML>It is a matter of historical record that Grand Admiral Raeder forbade his sailors from politics. He insisted on the Navy salute, and he even refused to dismiss Jewish officers from the Kriegsmarine. They were quite aloof from Hitler and the Nazi party; Hitler was qoted as saying \"On land I am a hero, at sea I am a coward.\" I think the portrayal on U-571 was in-accurate.
