Can't forget Das Boot or Dirty Dozen
I met a U-boat vet in Norman a little over 20 years ago,and asked him if he had seen "Das Boot."
He said yes, with what I took to be disgust. So I asked him if it was inaccurate, and he said "hell no." He said "It vas so real I could smell dat f***er!" He described what most of us would call a "flashback." He said they were called "pig boats" because they smelled exactly like a hog pen, and that after the first patrol the smell never went away, regardless of efforts to clean the boat.
There is a dubbed version, but the subtitled longer version is vastly superior. I have it in VHS, but will upgrade to bluray eventually.
