Undersea action in a sequel to the classic

DAS BOOT

A solid sequel to the brilliant Wolfgang Petersen anti-war drama about the crew of a U-boat that patrols the Atlantic in search of Allied convoys. It’s now autumn 1942, nine months after the events of the original story, and the tide has turned against the Germans in the Battle of the Atlantic. The series focuses both on the claustrophobic intensity of life on board a German submarine – the U-boat fleet had the highest casualty rate in the German military – and on the activities of the Resistance in the sub’s home base, La Rochelle in occupied France.
