[Boatanchors] The movies, Hammarlund SP-200 series radios on German U-boats?

[Philip Atchley]

Hi,

Yesterday I watched the movie, "In Enemy Hands" (a good movie).  Anyway, 
there were several instances where a close-up was shown of the 
radioman's hand changing the band of a receiver on the German U-Boat. 
While it went by quite quickly, it sure appeared to look like the 
Hammarlund SP-200 series radio, possibly a BC-779 or BC-1004. American 
Radios on German U-boats <grin>? But the dial shutter sure looked like 
the Hammarlund one.

Also had a nice shot of the OP using what was supposedly the "Enigma 
machine", whether it was the "real thing" or not, I'm not sure as it's 
been a long times since I've seen a picture of one.

I'd forgotten that I could pause and zoom on the DVD or I'd have gotten 
a closer view of it. I may watch the movie again before I take it back, 
if I do I'll play closer attention.
