Based on a True Story???


The trivia section for this film says that In Enemy Hands is based on a true story ... yet that is the only place where I find any reference to a "true story."

I'd like to know more about this "true story" because most of this film is down right unbelievable!

From my understanding this was not based on a specific true story. There was a true event where a German Sub Commander took on more Americans prisoners than he was supposed to. There was a story of a disease that ravaged a U-Boat crew.

So that sounds to be about 20% true ... AWESOME! Whoever said this film was based on a trues story should be jailed.
