You can select German with or without subtitles (my choice), in addition to English or other language dubbing/subtitles.  All the written text (such as that shown on journal pages) is in German instead of the English shown in earlier US releases.

The movie has a scene where the radio operator is listening to merchant vessel distress calls on 500 kc during a storm.  It appears true that the U-boats often monitored 500 kc during and after an attack.
