![]() ![]() Yet, in many ways, the film closely follows the U-96's seventh patrol (Oct. Das Boot is not intended to be a reenactment of a particular patrol it is, rather, a microcosm of the whole U-boat war. In the film, messages are decoded with a four-rotor Enigma machine but the German navy actually continued using three-rotor machines until February 1942.īut all this is small-minded nitpicking. In real life, U-96's periscope would have been raised to a level at which the captain's view was not obscured by waves and almost every encounter with British anti-submarine vessels would have featured the pinging of the asdic apparatus they used to locate submerged U-boats. The decisive turning point in the Battle of the Atlantic actually came in May 1943, when over 40 U-boats were lost (compared with 4 lost in November 1941). Sinkings by U-boats did not peak until November 1942. British anti-submarine measures had become much more effective by late 1941, but the U-boats responded by moving their operations away from the most heavily patrolled seas. If the U-96's crew were optimistic in setting out at the beginning of the film (October 1941), it was not due to their inexperience, but because the U-96 had already survived six patrols, and a patrol was not yet the semi-suicidal venture it was later to become. That's a true story-exactly like it was." That is not entirely true. In one of the peripherals (The Making of Das Boot), star Jurgen Prochnow asserts, "The whole thing happened. Extras include a feature about the making of the film, and voice-over commentary by the director and others. The Director's Cut version offers the original German audio as well as dubbed English and Spanish, with subtitles available in English, Spanish, and French. The nature of your interests may determine which version you prefer. The 150-minute theater version concentrates on action scenes. The 209-minute version gives insights into the officers' personalities (but neglects the other crewmen). The 293-minute version provides more information about individual crew members and everyday life on the ship. The 150-minute theater version (1981), the 209-minute Director's Cut version (1997), and the 293-minute version, Das Boot - The Original Uncut Version (2004), from which a six-episode television series was derived. Several versions of Das Boot have been released. The sound effects, enhanced in the most recent versions, make you feel you are actually on the boat. ![]() Hubertus Bengsch and Martin Semmelrogge give credibility to the First and Second Watch Officers, respectively-two very different characters. Herbert Grönemeyer as the young correspondent Werner, and Klaus Wennermann as the Chief Engineer give strong performances. Casting is excellent, especially compelling is Jurgen Prochnow as the steely-eyed captain. U-boat existence was dispiriting, with long periods of boredom alternating with sheer terror as crewmen fought against an unseen enemy for their very lives. They take some satisfaction from sinking ships, but this is tempered by discomfort or remorse over the merchant seamen they killed. As portrayed in Das Boot, sailors were a diverse lot, but in crises they set their varying personalities and political philosophies aside and assume their assigned roles. ![]() The camera man was forced to work in very restricted spaces and dash through the set filming the actors with his special gyro-stabilized camera. The set was engineered so that water could rush in and fire could break out in its confines. Especially noteworthy is the set for the U-boat's interior, which was carefully constructed to replicate all the equipment of a real submarine, and mounted on a gimbal that could impart movements to simulate waves, dives, and depth charges. ![]() In its day, Das Boot was one of the most expensive films ever produced. Buchheim also wrote a trilogy of non-fiction books about the Battle of the Atlantic, the first of which is available in English translation ( U-Boat War ). This experience provided the basis for his 1973 novel, Das Boot, which inspired this film. As a young German officer, Lothar-Gûnther Buchheim was assigned to join a U-boat patrol in the Atlantic and write a morale-boosting account of its mission. ![]()

In Percy’s case, the issue involves having shrunken into himself and an online world, and “helicopter parents” that want him to grow up while simultaneously making it harder for him to actually do that. Yet “No Hard Feelings” (a generic title that also indicates the studio didn’t really quite get what they had here) also has a poignant side in exploring the odd friendship that develops between these two characters, each damaged in different ways. Maddie is a little older than what they envisioned as a potential seductress (turning Lawrence’s age into a running gag turns out to be pretty inspired), but she convinces them that women Percy’s age are idiots, and besides, she really, really needs the car they’re offering.ĭirected and co-written by Gene Stupnitsky (sharing script credit with fellow “The Office” alum John Phillips), what ensues could easily have become a bawdy R-rated comedy with lots of over-the-top situations, and there’s some of that.

The technique has been taught to students of applied science for longer than I have been able to determine and for the sole reason that students using it make fewer mistakes. This process is fairly trivial, and with only slight attention to detail, you always get the right answer, bing-bang-boom, every time. You're then left with only the units you do want (the ones in your answer). For every problem you can just take the factors associated with it and arrange them so all the units you don't want cancel out. So what someone figured out is that you don't need formulas at all. This always happens if the formula is correct and you plug in the appropriate factors. There are lots of formulas out there, but here's the big idea: when you plug values into a formula and pay close attention to what happens to the units as the formula is simplified, you'll see that all the units cancel out except those units that end up in your answer.

You mention the offer by Beretta to use the new locking block for the pistols (M9) and the Army’s refusal. In that situation should I brush from the muzzle back instead? I’m not sure how I’m really supposed to get a cleaning rod thru my 10/22 barrel considering I don’t know how to get it into the breach. I’ve been worried by people who say it’ll ruin the rifling. I’ve always though that the cleaning rod isn’t gonna be too bad for it as long as you’re not deliberately scraping the bore. Seems to me that they aren’t gonna damage the barrel very significantly because they’re not as hard and because the barrel also has a projectile rammed thru it and swaged down to size. I currently only have the 3 piece rods and a bore snake and I honestly haven’t ever really worried about the 3pc rods. What is your opinion on the multi piece cleaning rods vs a 1 piece? Also what about the bore cables from Otis? I know they’re not bore snakes but actual cables that can attach the cleaning pieces. Chris I have a quick question for you regarding cleaning of barrels.

It can be translated as “May he/she begin to rest in peace”. The Latin phrase gave reference to a prayer that was used to indicate a state of rest or sleep that the deceased was in. “Requiescat” however, does not translate directly to mean “rest”. “Pace” in Latin means “peace” which is a direct translation. Rest in Peace comes originally from the Latin “requiescat in pace”.
