5.0 out of 5 stars A Necessary Diversion--Get a Code-Free DVD Player!!!, January 10, 2007

By	Dr Victor S Alpher (Austin, Texas, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

With all of the versions of DAS BOOT floating around, one would wonder which is THE version to buy. First of all, if you are considering the full Television Series--this is probably the one to buy, since the German version has no subtitles. And, if you have not figured out how to make your DVD player CODEFREE or found one (there is a large online auction that has many such players) and you are a serious DVD collector, it is about time you bought one!! They are not that expensive....before this came out on DVD, I scrounged the studios to find a VHS player that was multi-region, and it was used and cost me $275!!! I bought it to view the then-available 6 cassette version of the original television series (6 parts).

So, if you really want to get the feeling of being in a 50-man Type VIIC U-Boat AFTER the Happy Times of the early Battle of the Atlantic, you must watch this version. There really is nothing like it--before or since. Most highly recommended!
