| Trivia | This war movie is loosely based on a real World War II mission, Operation Source, which was staged during September 1943. Operation Source involved a number of secret attacks on several German battleships, namely the "Lutzow", "Scharnhorst", and "Tirpitz", in northern Norway, using X-class mini submarines. See more » |
| Goofs | Throughout the early portion of the movie the X craft program is referred to as "Top Secret". At this point in time, the British used the term "Most Secret", Top Secret being an American term. See more » |
