    "Hollywood has a habit of ignoring facts to glorify the deeds of Americans. In the 2000 film U-571, US seamen recovered an Enigma code machine from a sinking German submarine and changed the course of World War II. Enigma was in fact retrieved by the British crew of HMS Bulldog."

    To me, that paragraph there says it all...it's a shame that people re-create history in order to make more money in the box office.

    That's really bad, being an American I think its ludacris to make a movie that distorts what really happened.
