Aine, I can't disagree at all with your summation of most of the messages above yours. I do take friendly issue with Bald Eagle, however. I saw the film in question and personally thought it was a lousy film. It had every submarine movie cliche in it in the book Having some familiarity with the history of the Enigma project, however, I was particularly disgusted that the film made it appear (even though there were explanatory statements in the rolling credits) that the U. S. solved the Enigma problem all by its lonesome. I do think it is important that films depict history as it was. After all, many young people today probably rely much more on movies to supply them history, than the public schools. Since a great deal of the history taught in the school today is revisionist history (musn't offend anyone), I'm not sure which is the best teaching method of the two.

Thank you, Guest Dave, for the information you supplied ont the U505. I was not aware of that. Suppose the screenwriters based their screenplay on that?

Even so, I still thought it was a lousy movie.
