I enjoy your posts. Thank you. I am also someone that loves the movie "Das Boot". So much so that now I view it in German with English subtitles. Even more realistic.

Two recommendations in case you ever get off the computer or put the camera down. I saw a great science documentary from NOVA - "Earth from Space." Using the dozen or more weather satellites we have circling the earth, the show explained the oceans, atmosphere, vegetation, weather, etc. I never knew that Antarctica had so much control over the world's weather. It averages 43° colder than the north pole, and the flow of water from there affects oceans worldwide.

I saw an unusual WW II submarine movie last night on Netflix. "In Enemy Hands," from 2004, shows both U. S. and German subs and their crews. I'll watch just about anything with submarines.

Well having served in Submarines I also liked Das Boot, Hunt for Red October, et al.

But one of the best ones I watched years ago, that I thought was one of the more realistic versions of sub life was an old movie named 'Grey Lady Down'. No idea who was in it but if you ever run across it take a gander at it.

The Chicago Museum of Science has a captured WWII U-boat that you can walk (stooped over) through. It is pretty fascinating - everything so cramped. When they filmed "Das Boot" I read that the cast lived for 30 days in a mock-up of a real U-boat so that they could fully grasp how life was living in such close quarters. (I wonder if they even "hot-bunked" - where you get your eight hours in the bunk and then the next crew member gets his eight hours... )


I once spent four hours in a submarine as part of a crew exchange while on anti-submarine exercises in the South Pacific
Ocean. It was very interesting... at first.... I then started to get claustrophobia and then it was not sooo interesting. How submariners do that duty is a mystery to me. It takes a special type person.
"Run Silent Run Deep" was also a good submarine movie, staring Clark Gable and Burt Lanchaster.

Two other "must see" submarine movies are The Enemy Below with Robert Mitchum and Run Silent Run Deep with Burt Lancaster. I'm told they are fairly accurate. Das Boot was very intense, almost hard to watch, but I could not turn away form it.

Snipes are now on protected species list. They have been hunted down to almost extiction.
