DVD Reviews of U-234-Hitler's Last U-Boat
DVD Review: An amazing, true story
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent recreation of the historical WW2 voyage of Germany's U-Boat (U-234). The recreation comes from actual footage from U.S. & German newsreels, photographs, and present day interviews with some of the involved U-Boat crew, Allied force members, members involved with the Manhattan project, German & Japanese survivors/family members.
This U-Boat was not sent on voyage to Japan to participate in battle but as a last ditch effort by Germany to join in the technological forces with Japan by transporting a secret cargo (1200 lbs. of Uranium and a complete ME262 jet fighter) needed by the Japanese to aid their atomic bomb program. Also of interest the film demonstrates the relationship between the Germans & Japanese. On board U-234 were 2 high ranking Japanese officers(armament experts) who had trained with the German's for over a year. They were eager to return to Japan to share all they had learned about atomic bombs & the ingredients necessary to do the job.
After the fall of Hitler and the war with Germany ends, U-234 is required to surrender. The U-Boat captain secretly avoids surrender to the Canadian forces. Knowing the humiliation they would face if captured the Japanese officers committed suicide (the Samurai way) before the U-Boat surrendered to the American forces off of the Atlantic coast of the U.S. thus becoming Germany's last U-Boat to surrender.
Once on American soil, the crew is questioned about the cargo and in an interesting twist, the Manhattan Project becomes the recipient of the Uranium needed to develop the atomic bombs that were later dropped on Hiroshima & Nagasaki ending the war with Japan.
Having met & viewed this film with one of the interviewed crew survivors I think this is an amazing story shown from all sides that has been brought to light.
