In West-Duitsland werd een zesdelige mini-televisieserie uitgebracht, en een 145 minuten durende film. De film werd in 1982 in de Verenigde Staten uitgebracht.

Dit komt ook door de hoogwaardige rolbezetting, die leest als een who-is-who van de moderne Duitse filmgeschiedenis. Kapitein Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock wordt door Jürgen Prochnow gespeeld, oorlogsverslaggever luitenant Werner door Herbert Grönemeyer, hoofdmachinist Fritz Grade door , en de tweede luitenant door , om slechts enkelen te noemen.
