[post_page_title]U-571[/post_page_title]
The first thing this movie got wrong is that the commandeered ship was the U-110, and not the U-571. But even worse than that was the fact that the movie portrayed Americans as the sole masterminds behind it all.
In reality, all of the credit goes to the British and the Polish for helping crack the German codes. Apparently there were no Americans at all on that ship – so needless to say, the movie offended a number of people.
