The ending of the film differs from the facts. The captain of U96 survived and lived until 1986, and even helped in the making of this 1981 movie.

But yes, as far as the movie goes, that was a sad ending.

The first two pics definitely look like T-6

The third one could very well be mossies, but I doubt they were real.

That's one reason which makes it so Golly-gee good movie; it's nothing Hollywood would had ever produced (like U-571 or "Pearl Harbour"... LOL) but it's showing the miseries and horrors of the war and basically tossing them against the viewers face.

If I remember right the end of that movie, you CANT say SURE if captain dies or not. He gets hits and falls but dying is not confirmed.
