(Version 293 minutes) A ​​submarine rushed to the mission and experienced heavy blows, including bombs dropped by British aircraft, advanced submarine depth charges, and tests of fuel, wisdom, and bravery. Even if you are in a desperate situation, give it a shot!
German film. Germans are strong, brave, and belligerent labels, and it's not hard to see through the movies, and that's true.
War is cruel, but to fight, you must fight like a soldier. No country is good or bad, warriors are just following orders.
The decisiveness, maturity, courage and wisdom of the captain are the characteristics of the Germans, and I think the author is also shaping the image of the Germans in this way.
A lot of people don't understand the ending. Because after several ghost gates, the whole team finally returned to the shore, but at this time British planes raided and dropped bombs, blowing up the entire coastal city. Except for the reporter, all the people in the submarine were lost. My understanding is: this is a movie for Germans to remember shame for later generations. After several times of life and death, he was finally shot and killed when he landed on the shore.
Efforts may not necessarily lead to happy harvests, and regard hard work as a mission is the source of power to become stronger.


Finally, the silence of the submarine and the sacrifice of all German soldiers were due to political reasons. If everyone is happy, isn't it advocating fascism? But I vaguely feel that this kind of negative pandering to politics makes people think deeply: Fascism is just the one at the top, and I see the characteristics of the German military: strong, fearless, and patient.
What followed the slogan of "anti-fascism" formed an alliance to attack Germany, Italy, Japan and other countries. What politicians are best at is to use the name of benevolence, righteousness and morality to commit hypocrisy and conspiracy.
It is good to understand the movie, just like to understand the rules of life. No need to say it.
