Also passed on were suggested tactics for dealing with the U-Boat threat, all learned the hard way & shown to be effective. In "Operation Drumbeat", where the US, now in the war, had the shipping of it's East coast targeted, the British supplied the US Navy with intercepts, giving the U-Boats locations, courses, speed & intended target areas.

Code breaking recommenced & the U-Boats suffered such heavy losses that Doenitz eventually recalled them. Sinkings of convoy vessels went up as a result, until a Royal Navy officer had the bright idea of knocking over a German weather ship in the North Sea & pinching the Enigna (they couldn't decode the messages from this ship so suspected, correctly, that it was a new, 4 wheel device).

The British cracked Enigma before the US even entered the War! Admiral Doenitz, suspicious that the UK had cracked the 3 code wheel Enigma (used by the German army), ordered a 4 wheel device & the British no longer were able to decode the U-Boat's messages. The REAL story behind the films exploits is far more embarasing & not one that Hollywood is going to tell the great American public.

So ironically, U-571, with reversed sides and minus the special effects, could pass for a German propaganda movie of that era. Even worse, the film promotes an almost fascist type of ideology, namely the leader principle, mindless submission to authority, the objective must be achieved regardless of the cost of human life (enemy or comrade). Next there is the cheap attempt to whitewash racial segregation in the US by throwing in a black sailor and then putting the onus on the Germans by showing a German sailor being shocked at seeing a black person - maybe it was the historical inaccuracy he was astounded by. Without going into details: the actual Enigma machine was relatively well known, the difficult bit was cracking the code - which was brilliantly accomplished by the British (after some spadework from the Poles). What really angers me about U-571 though, apart from it being a really bad movie, is the premeditated way it tries to remanufacture history. As for its mindless entertainment value, if you have only ever seen one u - boat movie you will essentially have seen U-571 because it goes to great pains not to miss any cliché in the book the first third in particular is an almost exact copy of "Das Boot".
I rented U-571 thinking that a movie with submarines and Harvey Keitel in it would at least be vaguely entertaining, but boy, was I wrong.
