I have seen the movie (in German) and listened to the audiobook in addition to reading the book (in English). The author served as a naval correspondent on U-Boots during the war and experienced much of what he then wrote about. Can submarines capsize?This kind of fascinating information adds such verisimilitude to one of the submarine classics to come out of WW II. You will never think of submarines in quite the same way after you have read the description of their sub in the midst of a storm having to run on the surface for speed (if you could call it that) and to charge the batteries, the boat plunging and heaving through the waves.
When he died some weeks ago due to Covid-19 it is these little anecdotes you remember and so I decided to read the book.Das Boot is indeed a very well written and adventurous book that describes the one trip of this submarine into the Atlantic in all its facets. He was impressed with the day to day showing of the life on this submarine. The one movie about the sea it did see with him and he actually enjoyed was indeed "Das Boot" even if he as a former sailor from the merchant fleet had little sympathy for the submarine antics.

It terrified the piss out of me. The book remained fascinating and interesting right up to the end.You are well advised to read this book and I dare you not to be fascinated.moreI don't remember how old I was when I saw this movie on TV, but I do recall how I felt. Because it is a German U-boat you'd expect Nazi stuff which does not happen as these are professional soldiers and not Nazi's as such.This book is certainly one of the best books in its genre and should be read if you got any interest in boats or war.
I have enough trouble being inside a submarine above the water in the safety of a museum. I don't ever want to be inside a submarine under water, thanks. I'm not even sure if I saw the whole movie from beginning to end or if the bits I watched just made such an impression on me it feels now in retrospect like I watched it for hours, though I know in reality it couldn't possibly have been that way because of the circumstances surrounding how and when I saw it. It terrified the piss out of me. I don't ever want I don't remember how old I was when I saw this movie on TV, but I do recall how I felt.
It reads quickly, probably because it's hard not to keep turning the pages to see what happens next. My eyes hurt if I read too long that I began to wonder if I was even blinking. I was totally invested in the story and I didn't want to even put it down. Books are safe, right? If my own imagination gets too intense I can just imagine a fluffy little puppy dog and a rainbow and everything is okay again.Except I realized as I was reading the book that I didn't want there to be a fluffy little puppy dog or a rainbow.
The only thing really missing was the water and the (possibly) hot German guys.moreI'd give this book 5 stars except it was about 200 pages longer than necessary. That was one of my experiences while reading the book and it really made me feel like I was on a submarine. Maybe I haven't read enough war novels but I was plenty impressed by this one.Note: For extra special effect, I recommend reading this book on either a speeding bus driven by a maniacal Port Authority driver on a route that involves a lot of potholes and curves make sure to be stuck between a window and a really fat, smelly man so you get the impression of being stuck. I will totally read it and let you know if I agree.
After awhile I heard enough of all the colors of the sky and sea. I'd also suggest Shadow Divers about the search for the identity of a myste I'd give this book 5 stars except it was about 200 pages longer than necessary. The Cruel Sea shows the war from the other side - the English sailors trying to track down and kill the U-boats. I recommend The Cruel Sea as a companion read to Das Boot. However after learning that the author is an accomplished artist, his obsession with color made more sense.
