they weren't nazis. in the early days of the war the nazi party didnt hand pick crew members, the crew were mostly just regular people who happened to be in the navy.

They weren’t made out as overtly Nazi, iirc the navy was the most divorced from the party of the army branches.

The navy was actually the branch with the least SS and political officers integrated. Generally they where their own thing.

>Nazi sailors?
as far as I remember just one crew member was in the party and had sympathy with NS ideology. The captain was quite critical of the war decisions.
David Roberts
was i supposed to enjoy 3.5 hours of people running up and down a submarine?
Jordan Williams
>3.5 hours
I've been told that's the best version to watch.
Aaron Sanders
The opening outside the sub is the only boring part of the 3.5 hours edition.

idk about you, but the movie made me want to play a sub simulator.

>3.5 hours
it's five hours long and it's a very small submarine. Not a lot of running at all, mostly it's people listening to a soft piiing---piiing sound. Very comfy!

German sailors were rarely Nazis.
Notice how they had to have a propaganda officer on board to toe the line.

Homophobia is worse than antisemitism, you worthless fucking kike.
Julian Young
>Notice how they had to have a propaganda officer on board to toe the line
he was on board to make photos and write an article for propaganda purposes, not to keep them on line.
and the "rarely nazis" stuff is bullshit, they weren't really any more or less political than airmen or soldiers. it just so happened that the commander of the navy survived the war and the nuremberg trials and was given more than enough time and opportunity to create the myth of the apolitical kriegsmarine

>Notice how they had to have a propaganda officer on board to toe the line.
That was the Lothar-Günther Buchheim replacement. Buchheim was a war reporter of the navy that accompanied a German submarine during the war once and wrote a book about it a few years later. The movie is inspired by that book.
Ayden Baker
Yeah, there are lots on wanton and sadistic killings by the crew in Das Boot.
Mason Foster
it's so crazy that this really happened

the eagle and the bear tearing apart the jews in the submarine was a weird touch but I appreciate the director for not flinching away from an accurate historical representation

Not every movie aims to be enjoyable, go watch some capeshit
Angel Rivera
I only watched the 3 hour cut of the film, but I always interpreted the captain respected his enemy and was never cruel. But they were at war and they had to eliminate the British threat at all costs.
Cooper Rivera
good man
Aiden Russell
absolute kino
I rewatch the embarking scene every so often
>also I'm Jewish and I still liked the movie because it's an anti-war movie which is part of the human condition and not predicated upon race religion or nationality
Camden Taylor
also I'm gay if that matters
