No, the movie Das Boot (1981) is a fictional story based on the novel of the same name by Lothar-Günther Buchheim. However, the author was a war correspondent during World War II and based the novel on his experiences and observations during that time. The story is set on a German U-boat during World War II and depicts the grueling conditions and psychological toll on the crew.
