Did you know
- TriviaThe cast was deliberately kept indoors continually during the shooting period in order to look as pale as a real submarine crew would on a mission at sea.
- GoofsAt sea, communications between the U-boat and German Naval Command are shown decrypted on the U-boat using the Enigma machine. The machine featured, a variant with four rotors, was not introduced in the German Navy until Feb 1942 while the series takes place in fall of 1941.
- Alternate versionsTwo different "versions": In West Germany the miniseries originally was released in 1985 as a version with three 100-minute episodes. Two years later, in 1987 the series was re-broadcast but this time consisting of six 50-minute episodes (basically, the three original episodes were split into two episodes each, which results in a total of six episodes). Each episode has a short recap at the beginning and a short preview at the end. The German 6-part version also has an alternative title for each episode: Part 1: Operation Atlantik (Operation Atlantic) Part 2: Auf Suchkurs (On Search Course) Part 3: Der erste Angriff (The First Attack) Part 4: Himmelfahrtskommando (Suicide Mission) Part 5: Auf Grund (On Ground) Part 6: In der Heimat (At Home)

Featured review
Das Boot is my favorite war film. It shows war through the eyes of Germans. It is so realistic and intense that I live it every time I see it. It is one war film where I consider Germans to be the "good guys"! Their humanity and fight for survival touch me in such a way that I cannot help but be totally for them. It does indeed prove that beneath every uniform their lies a human being with hopes and dreams for the future.
It makes me realize that war is terrible for everyone involved. It makes me realize that our common humanity is much more important than politics. We all should recognize this fact of life. God bless the people who made this film. They not only opened my mind but also my heart! So I'd like to say to them: Vielen Dank!
