Lt Hirsch figured it out before everyone else, no time to to tell everyone, just "took care of it". Missing the part after he kills him, comes back and wipes the blood off his face...
Gotta admire the commitment of that German captain where he'd rather suffer a terrible death at the hands of a depth charge/axe rather than let the Enigma fall into enemy hands.
Jacob Never said his cause was admirable. Just his determination/commitment. Admirable in the way one respects a predator even though that predator may very well intend to kill you.
Being in a sub when an enemy is searching for you is generally spooky, because if you don't ping them and they have pinged you, and them knowing where your position is and you cant see them really delivers a unnerving chill down the spine.
That scene nearly gave me a heart attack when I first watched this movie. There are tons of nerve racking scenes, but for some reason; this scene hits me the wrong way.
Hammer blow [long pause] next hammer blow [Longer pause for new letter] Hammer blow [Short pause] hammer blow [ Long pause] hammer blow [short pause] hammer blow ["new Letter pause] and so on
germans have like 20 words for "Destroy". Zerstören, vertilgen, umstürzen to name a few. When you start a few world wars, you will have privilege to have many synonymous destroy-words too
Awesome film, even if inaccurate (which they show at the finale; the British cracked the Enigma) and I always forgot this important part. They gave that Cpt. every chance but he kept fighting back, so…light’s out.
All navies of the world probably had somebody trained to understand Morse Code within them since it was as close to a universal message system as was available at the time. Statistically speaking, the German was far more likely to get a radioman or somebody aboard the German ship to understand a message sent in Morse than he was somebody who understood knock.
U can simulate dot and dash by knocking. By adding a 50 millisecond pause in a knock u can differentiate a dash from a dot. Or are u asking how can the german destroyer picked that up? The destroyer is equipped with hydrophones, practically uber sensitive microphones that can pick sound signals in the water. And since water is 800 times denser than air, sound waves travel farther in water than in air.
You never watched the movie I'm guessing..... That person tied to the bed and tapping was a German prisoner who was signalling his own navy to destroy their U-Boat to stop the Americans from escaping with the enigma machine....
+killbot86 Oh ok :) As we in czech say when someone is mean to you and you nice to him . He on you with a rock you on him with a bread . And that was his case he was no mercyfule with the people who were on the boat he ordered to kill them . And when he was drowning they took him in treated him good . And his thanks he hurted the first guy and killed the second Mazzolo and they still didnt kill him they tied him up . And still he was doing bad things so they had to kill him . But they didnt when they hade a good reason . He was an asshole and they you could see were good guys . I thoaght would be good if he escaped to the destroyer and survive the explosion and then they would see him drowning again and they would rather let him drown or take him arrest him and when they would get back to their country they put him on trial . And apreciate good movie they were heroes :)

Most badass moment. That dude taking a big wrench with that look on his face and fucking smashing that german's head in.
They gave that dude way to many chances.

yea. he's very passionate about the nazis cause, what an admirable hero....

He wasn’t the captain he was a electrician
@@duckdude9456 he's the captain pretending to be an electrician
@@RevolverOcelot88 nice red herring argument
Damn it, you cut the best part.
+Rprince418 I see what you did there
Didn’t the actual movie cut that scene short? I remember thinking I wanted more out of that scene when I saw this in theater.
The best part as in killing the germal captain?
@@danskyl7279 that's an electrician not the captain
@@nilloc93 It's the captain pretending to be an electrician.
Aww mannnn.... Lt. threw a wrench in the gerries plan.
It was a woodpecker, I promise.
-the German Captain
😂
for the kids who dont understand, the german was tapping on a pipe with his handcuffs in Morse Code giving them up
do kids who dont understand that really exist
Wonder what antic Fegelein has to survive that axe
This was horror to me as a child.
Haha same. This movie freaked me out as a kid!
Yeah. This scene really is spooky. 😱
my horror began when after this movie, i bought myself a revell submarine modeling kit and TEUFEL the parts were so verdammte tiny!

Big time horror especially when you find out it was a true story.

I am U-571. Destroy me.

my favorite clip part would have been 0:26
How do you Morse a "da" with a hammer? You even can't Morse a "T" with a hammer, only E, I, S, H and 5
Hammer blow [long pause] next hammer blow [Longer pause for new letter]
Hammer blow [Short pause] hammer blow [ Long pause] hammer blow [short pause] hammer blow ["new Letter pause]
and so on
Maybe a blow followed by scraping? Good question.

Thanks for the 10 second clips. Really seeing a lot ...
Danke.

what I don't understand is how he's sending morse as opposed to knock code with that
All navies of the world probably had somebody trained to understand Morse Code within them since it was as close to a universal message system as was available at the time. Statistically speaking, the German was far more likely to get a radioman or somebody aboard the German ship to understand a message sent in Morse than he was somebody who understood knock.

@@juliosunga3530 Or u can simply use weaker knock for dot, and stronger knock for dash :D
Won’t do any good the destroyers radio room is taken out hence it can’t get the message
The hydrophone might be elsewhere
Why didn't the German Captain say "enemy has the code in U571 Destroy Me!"
He was in a rush im guessing
every boat had the enigma maschine. they knew
The German destroyer already knew that. They couldn't radio that out because its tower was taken out by Tyler and his men.
Baron Wolfgang von Strucker/Captain Englehorn was caught and being to death by Michael.
Why did he kill the captain
Because even with hiting in handcoffes it sends signals where they are so the destroyed could locate them
What a great fuckn movie !!!

Why the hell would U-571 dare the Navy to take hit on them?
You never watched the movie I'm guessing.....
That person tied to the bed and tapping was a German prisoner who was signalling his own navy to destroy their U-Boat to stop the Americans from escaping with the enigma machine....
+killbot86 was he giving signalling even if he was tied up to the bed ?
pavel stefanovic He was handcuffed to a pipe....all he had to do was tap the pipe.....
