Watched it because I just read the book "Above us the waves" by CET Warren and James Benson. If this period and submarine technology interests you, I highly recommend the book. The first chapters especially, portray the incredible hardships and courage involved in the development of the midget submarines and the human torpedos.
The film doesn´t quite capture this, but it is intersting to see the equipment in action. Would have been nice to have a more detailed account of the men who died in the training and develpment phase, and an more detailed account of the escape to Sweden after the first attempt. Still, an entertaining war film.
