- Look at these new heroes, all wind and smoke. Big mouths.
- Cheeks together, balls in hand. And the belief in our Fuhrer in their eyes.
- They will know in time.

#Das Boot Rewatch
I love the final final irony that after basically coming back from the dead, having been basically sunk at the Strait of Gibraltar later surfacing on nothing but spit and bailing wire, a hope and a prayer, U-96 escapes without being seen, limps home to La Rochelle, only to be sunk at home port in a air raid.
U-96 being strafed
The disparity between the surface navy - here in the form of a merchant vessel - and the submarines is quite stark.

I love watching that engine work, it’s like dozens of sewing machines together
The german sailors breaking into song, using the English’ Tiperrary, while the one protocol-following Mexican-German is sulking is just…wow
Werner has like 0 eyebrows
Captain: It is better to take photos on our return from the mission.
Lt Werner: What do you mean?
Captain: They'll have grown beards by then. The British will be ashamed to see these shaven faces.
