All kinds of unreasonable points about this film on the English wiki

1. It is impossible for German destroyers to appear in the Atlantic Ocean. Most of the German fleets dare not venture to cruise to such western waters. There are only a few exceptions, but they are only flagships.

2. It is impossible for a German submarine to survive a close encounter with a destroyer. Although it is pointed out in the film that the distance is too close and the gun cannot hit the submarine, the machine gun on the destroyer can still sink it.

3. In the movie, the destroyer dropped at least 80 depth charges on No. 571, but in fact the German warship never carried more than 30 depth charges.

4. It is almost impossible for U-571 to sink a German supply submarine. There has been only one case of submarine sinking in history. It was created by a British submarine in 1945 when the German U-864 was sunk because of the German army. The sonar system is far less advanced than that of the UK.

5. The biggest flaw is that the German supply submarine does not have a torpedo launch system at all, how can it sink S33?

6. The model of the German navy patrol aircraft that appeared in the film was not equipped on a German
destroyer at all during World War II .

In a word, in order to make the plot nervous and attract attention, the director composes whatever he wants.

    Submarine pick expulsion, or break the submarine, the plot is compact and exciting.

    In front of so many excellent submarine films, this film is too legendary, and there are inevitably many loopholes. The special effects of the explosion are obvious, and the characters are facialized. Maybe I'm a little tired of the main theme commercial film routine now. It turned out that the strongest submarine was the U571, which could not be killed. It attacked merchant ships, enemy submarines, and even attacked its own warships.
