It was a pretty good documentary. Gotta feel the pain of those sailors heading out alone towards certain doom.
One thing I found odd was the comment that the ship had no (or at least few) surviving plans and almost no photographs. How then did anyone manage to make an "Anatomy of the Ship" about it? From just the single one I have (VII u-boats) the level of detail is fanatical and would require lots of blueprints, photos, etc. Guess I'll have to buy the book and fnd out :P
Edit-Oh, never mind. A quick check of amazon reveals that the book IS sketchy about interior details and most of it is reverse engineered drawing of exterior structures from photographs. Also costs $100 since it is OOP!
