<HTML>Well, between U-571 and Das Boot, it's not hard to tell which one is the abomination and which one exposes the plain truth about the harshness of U-Boat life, although I understand that Buchheim's novel also sparked a slight controversy for it's criticism of Doenitz and the nature of U-Boat operations - as well as it's somewhat unusual depiction of the crews in the first scene at the La Rochelle Bar. Some veterans have however, stood by Buchheim's account, whilst others have stated that he was a "Propaganda Kompanie" reporter, and thus, not fully intergrated into the full aspects of U-Boat life.
Anyhow, I'm in agreement with all those who have vented their anger over the U-571 travesty, even more of a pity as Thomas Kretschmann is an excellent actor.
Best Regards from England.</HTML>
