Factual error: When the German "destroyer" is attacking, it drops a steady stream of depth charges. I reality, depth charge attacks were made by locating the sub on sonar and dropping a pattern of five or ten charges at a time when the escort ship was above the target. These were set for the estimated depth and would have gone off at roughly the same time.
