i believe this be the best war drama around concern wwii naval action and be the first major sea battle of wwii . the story be true as well a the fact that news of the battle be radio broadcast to some of the world at the time of action . be any others possible a such not likely a the battle be usually far from land and news be slow in release . i see only a few fault other than those list officer and sailor out on deck watch 11 inch shell go over their head and they have no battle gear on . out on open deck in battle . the graf spee ( play by a u ship ) have a radar dish spin around on the upperworks . radar do not exist in 1939 and if it have and the graf spee ability to move about undetected would have be compromise to some extent ( not in 1939 ) . this great movie be a history lesson and must be see . well acted and produce thanks to the brit .
