They (the film-makers) had planned to open up the set and film from the outside, but found in the process that it destroyed the claustrophobic feel they were after. Cramming the cameraman in with the actors put the audience there, too. I think they also helped pioneer steadycam.

Indeed! The chief camera man, Jost Vacano, mounted the camera on a gyroscope that he'd buildt himself. This kind of dynamic steadicam was nicknamed "Josticam" in Hollywood in tribute to its creator. He also worked on a lot of Paul Verhoeven's Hollywood blockbusters (and flops LOL) during the 80s and 90s.

It's "Das Boot", like in "Das Boat" (small ship) and not "Das Buut" (like boots in footwear).

Unglaublich gute Zusammenfassung, vielen Dank. Greetings from FFM Germany

So much fun that you really liked the Journalist guy. He went on to become the biggest selling music artist in Germany after the movie. And his music is known for being poetic, political at times and fun. He is a great guy, Herbert Grönemeyer.

wrong year the film takes place in 1941

Fun fact. Herbert Gronemeyer / Lt. Werner ist a musican who lives in London / England.

Plz speak "Das Boot" like "the boat". You talk it like "Das Stiefel" = "the boot or boots" it´s not right.

When are people going to finally learn to pronounce this film title properly ?

Apologies for mispronouncing it. I've looked it up so as to correct that for future reference, thanks for letting us know.
