Love these threads, thanks OP. I'd like to add a few as well.

These pictures were taken by Lothar-Gunther Buchheim author of Das Boot (from which the movie was based) on U-96's 7th war patrol.

Real patrol report (KTB) for those interested: http://www.uboatarchive.net/KTB96-7.htm

If anyone remembers the scene in Das Boot where they meet Thompson @ sea. Here's a real pic of this incident (U572).
I really wish I could find the pic from "UBoat War Patrol" where it looks like he was taking pictures of U572 from the air but this was the best I found online.
Also, the captain (Heinz Hirsacker)of this boat (U572)committed suicide after receiving death by firing squad for cowardice.

From the war log on date 04.11.41 (nov 11): "Various courses. Met U-572 (Hirsacker) at 16.35 hours. PK Bucheim takes powerful storm photography."

Viewing pictures of yesteryear always makes me think people spend waaaaaay too much time tied down to technology these days. We have it way too easy now.

Mad respect for those who fought wars all over the world. Horrible conditions, horrible actions, a job they had to do.
