A World War II German U-Boat crew have a terrifying patrol mission in the early days of the war. With Jürgen Prochnow, Herbert Grönemeyer, Klaus Wennemann, Hubertus Bengsch. What is Das Boot about? One follows the life of soldiers who land around the French Resistance in La Rochelle. But as I have written, I saw the original TV series and it made an impression on me few tv programmes could achieve after so long. However, it is still one of the best war films ever made. So, the DVD is a bit of a disapointment. The series, set in 1942, features two narratives.
