This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.

It's also perhaps worth noting that Eck's actions seem to have been directed towards the destruction of wreckage, with the death of the crew being what in modern terms would be 'collateral damage'. This contrasts starkly with the deliberate murder of survivors in the movie. It's perhaps a fine and rather pedantic point, but - I think - an important one.
