Das Boot struck me as a very basic, ordinary war movie which was done with
a little more polish than most. The impression that I got as far as
fascist-anti-fascist leanings goes is that with the reduced life expectancy,
abominable conditions and seemingly hopeless challenge for the U-boat
crews, coupled with the frustration of a military leadership that had
no feedback from the crews coupled with the fact that, with the exception
of the occasional psychotic, NOBODY likes wars when they're busy fighting
and getting killed in them, there was a lot of animosity with the german
government and leadership. That seems reasonable. It even seems reasonable
that there were always a significant number of Germans who were not 
thoroughly taken with the National Socialist government, and that the
number of people who felt that way grew as the war dragged on.
