WE DIVE AT DAWN (1943) + FURY IN THE PACIFIC (1945)

WE DIVE AT DAWN (1943):

The British submarine Sea Tiger docks after an unsuccessful patrol and the skipper (John Mills) and his crew are given a week's leave. However, all leave is cancelled and the crew is ordered to return to the sub. Back at sea, the crew finds out that the Sea Tiger is on a top secret mission to find and destroy Nazi Germany's latest battleship, the Brandenburg. On their way to the port, from which Naval Intelligence thinks the battleship is sailing, the sub picks up three shot-down Luftwaffe pilots on a rescue buoy. But when the submarine enters a minefield, one of the airmen panics and it's soon revealed that the battleship has sailed through the Kiel Canal into the Baltic to begin sea trials. The skipper takes the decision to follow. When the Brandenburg is found, the Sea Tiger fires all its torpedoes, which leads to German destroyers dropping depth charges during pursuit of the submarine. The crew has no idea whether it has been successful or not. (93 mins.; very good quality)
