In classic sailor manner, they are carelessly drinking, dancing and singing in a brothel one last time before entering the U96 and descending into claustrophobic hell.

Basically every German who was old enough at that time watched the series and was confronted with the true nature and horrors of war on a highly uncomfortable and physical level.ĭas Boot is different than other war films since it does not show the usual combat battles on land or technological cockpit firefights in the air, but literally takes place in the invisible and unglorifiable underground: below the sea-level.
